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 was laser cut to reveal a coloured second layer.
The sketchbook was refined with a fine engraving and personalised with a name. Open the PDF design and enter your chosen name. Of course you can also use your own design.

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, 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: 1000 Hz - Air Assist: OFF - Z-Offset: -1mm
Step 3: Finishing
Take a piece of paper that fits to your design and a spray glue. Glue the paper on the inside of the cover, to protect your laser cut design and give the cover more stability. Alternatively, use a glue stick, but the spray glue helps to achieve maximum coverage.
