Information

      Every time the wind blows, she’ll think of you. 🌬️🎶

Add a touch of magic to her garden, porch, or patio with our Custom Engraved Wind Chimes. While flowers fade, the soothing, melodic tones of a beautiful wind chime offer a lasting reminder of love, family, and cherished memories.

Crafted with care at DIY Life, we take high-quality, musically tuned wind chimes and replace the standard wind catcher (the "sail" at the bottom) with a beautiful, custom-cut piece of wood. Whether you choose a classic circle, a rustic flower, or a sweet heart, we will permanently laser-engrave your special message right into the wood.

Instruction

Step1

Preparation and Safety

Ventilation: Ensure your smoke purifier is on or your exhaust fan is venting outside. Cutting wood produces significant smoke and char.
Air Assist: Always use Air Assist when cutting wood. It blows away debris and prevents the wood from catching fire, resulting in cleaner cuts.
Fire Safety: Never leave your laser unattended while cutting.

Step2

Configuring xTool Studio

Connect Your Device: Open XCS and connect to your S1 or P2 via USB, Wi-Fi, or IP.
Import Your Design: Open the xcs file you downloaded from Atomm.
Select Mode:
- S1: Choose Process on Flat (unless using the riser base/rotary).
- P2: Choose Slat Flat.
Capture the Canvas: * On the P2, click Refresh to take a wide-angle photo of your wood.
- On the S1, use the Twin-Point Positioning feature to define your work area, as it does not have a camera.

Step3

Setting the Focus

Proper focus is the difference between a clean cut and a scorched mess.

Auto-Measure: In the right-hand panel, click the Auto-measure icon (it looks like a small ruler/target).
S1: The probe will drop down to touch the wood.
P2: The laser head will move over the material to measure the height via the built-in sensor.

Step4

Framing and Starting

Framing: Click Framing on the bottom right. The laser head will move in a rectangle to show you exactly where the cut will happen. Ensure it doesn't hit any pins or magnets.
Process: Click Process, then Start.
Physical Button: Finally, press the Start button on the machine itself to begin the cut.
