Tips
- Use the 1.5 inch lens to make the detailed writings come out particularly beautiful.
- If you use conventional paper and not a special cardboard, we suggest that you reduce the laser power.
- The combination of the vacuum table and the honeycomb table leads to the best result.
- Feel free to adapt the design! Be creative!
