Instruction
Step1: Open the file in Xtool Studio
Design File Notes
• The file contains two separate canvases:
• One for leaves and pumpkins
• One for letters
• Color coding for xTool M1:
• Red lines indicate cutting
• Blue lines indicate engraving
This setup helps keep elements organized and ensures the correct operation type is applied during processing.
Step2: Cut the images
xTool M1 Settings for 3mm Basswood
Cutting:
Power: 95
Speed: 4
Air Assist: Full power
Engraving:
Power: 65
Speed: 150
Lines Per Centimeter (LPC): 120
Air Assist: Full power
These settings produce clean cuts and detailed engraving on 3mm basswood, especially with air assist, which helps reduce charring.
Step3: Add color and string
I used rich autumn tones painted with acrylics on each piece. Strung with sturdy baling twine for a rustic finish, it’s perfect for mantels, entryways, or festive gatherings.
