We decorated two Leuchtturm1917® notebooks with a Speedy 400. The emerald sketchbook was enhanced with a contrasting engraving. The smaller notebook has a flexible cover that was laser cut to reveal a colored second layer.
The sketchbook was refined with a fine engraving and personalized with a name. Open the PDF design and enter your chosen name. As always, you can also use your own design.
Parameters used:
The following settings make a brown engraving on the emerald sketchbook:
Engraving: Power: 20% - Speed: 30% - Frequency: 500ppi - Air Assist: ON - Z-Offset: -1mm
Note:
Other colors may react differently.
Step 2: Laser cutting the notebook
The Jottbook has a flexible cover that can be easily cut with a laser. We have created a tree design for our notebook. To give more stability to the fine details, we've glued a piece of paper on the inside of the cover after the laser process.
1: Table Use the Aluminum Cutting Grid Table and cover the surface around the workpiece to focus the vacuum suction.
2: Air Flow Shutter If using an air flow shutter, please close it to achieve optimal suction on the table and not on the exhaust slots.
3: Laser Process Open the design and send it to the laser.
Parameters used:
Cutting: Power: 20% - Speed: 0.5% - Frequency: 1000Hz - Air Assist: OFF - Z-Offset: -1mm
Step 3: Finishing
Take a piece of paper that fits to your design and some spray glue. Glue the paper on the inside of the cover to protect your laser cut design and give the cover more stability. You could also use a glue stick, but the spray glue helps to achieve maximum coverage.
