Step 1:
Open the file "Christmas boot" and send it to the laser. The boot is made from two different materials; we have started with the red boot. The red felt is engraved and cut.
LASER SETTINGS
- Engraving (black) - Power: 20 %, speed: 50 %, resolution: 500 ppi
- Cutting (red) - Power: 65 %, speed: 3 %, resolution: 1000 Hz
The parameters depend on the used machine and the available laser power; they might therefore vary.

LASER SETTINGS
- Cutting (red) - Power: 65 %, speed: 3 %, resolution: 1000 Hz.
The parameters depend on the used machine and the available laser power; they might therefore vary.
