Open mahrud opened 1 year ago

mahrud commented 1 year ago

Here are sample steps for laser cutting 250 Spectre tiles on a 34"x18" material using CorelDraw and PLS6.150D laser cutter (each tile approximately 2.1"x1.7"):

  1. import svg file in a program like CorelDraw
  2. select all objects (may need to unlock them first)
  3. change line color to RGB pure red and line thickness to hairline
  4. if material is smaller than 34x18, scale down or delete tiles on the margin (may need to ungroup them first)
  5. select material type and thickness in laser cutter settings
  6. print in CorelDraw
  7. in laser printer window, adjust the outline appropriately and start the cut
