Now make the parameter settings. Our suggested parameters may vary depending on the laser machine used and the available laser power.

To process the LaserLeather, use the vacuum table with honeycomb tabletop and the nozzle with the small hole diameter. Place the LaserLeather into the laser machine. Next, cover the rest of the working surface around the material to create a vacuum.

Then start the engraving and cutting process.

Step 3: Assembly

After the laser process, remove all cut parts from the laser. If necessary, clean the cut parts carefully with a lightly moistened cloth.

Insert the wide band from the bottom through the first slot so that the four small holes on the band are exactly over the four holes of the pin roll.

Now thread the narrow band through the four small holes so that the band crosses over on the upper side.

Turn the pencil roll over and knot the thin tape on the back. Then shorten the ends with scissors.

Step 4

Steps 4: Finalize the pencil roll

Place the pins one by one on the inside of the roll, and pull the wide band through the slots. Make sure the pins are fixed in the roll and tighten the tape if necessary.

Pull the ribbon through the slit at the top edge of the pencil roll.

Finally, wrap the tape once around the outside of the roll. Fix the end by pulling it once under the tape.
