Wall sticker: Butterfly
Step-by-Step instruction
Request a demoCreate these wall stickers using different colors of TroLase Thins.
Preparation
Used material:
- 1 sheet TroLase Thins, colour: European gold brushed/black (item no. LT754-202), cut to size 1,000 x 600 mm
- double-sided adhesive tape
Machine used:
- Speedy 400
- 120 watts
- 2" lens
- nozzle with large hole diameter
- Aluminum cutting grid table or honeycomb cutting support
If you want to make the wall stickers with another machine of the Speedy series, please consider the size of the motive. If necessary, the pattern must be scaled accordingly, which may also require a corresponding adjustment of the cutting parameters.
Tip:
The specified parameters refer to the butterfly in large format (engravings in grayscale, cutting lines in red). The duration for cutting the large motif is only approx. 3 min, the engraving duration is approx. 35 min. If you want to keep the production time of the wall sticker as short as possible, you can hide the pre-meter settings for the engraving color black. Only the red cutting lines are executed, the time-consuming engravings are omitted. In order to make the best possible use of the large format of the material, you can add 6 smaller butterflies (level 2, blue lines) to the template. Then adjust the parameter settings for the blue cutting lines according to your quality requirements. If you prefer a full-surface gluing of the wall sticker, you can also order the TroLase Thins with self-adhesive foil on the back.
Step by Step
Step 1: Import & Create Print & Laser Template
Create your own design or use our template. Now send the job to the laser with the settings below.
Print settings:
| Process | Resolution | Cutting line |
|---|---|---|
| Relief | 500dpi | none |
| Raster | Other |
|---|---|
| - | Optimized geometries, inner geometries first |
Step 2: Laser process
Now make the parameter settings. Our suggested parameters may vary depending on the laser machine used and the available laser power. Remove the protective film from the surface of the TroLase Thin and then place the material - with the gold side up - on the aluminum grid table in your laser. Tape the remaining narrow edge to create the best possible vacuum.
Laser parameters:
| Color | Process | Power (%) | Speed (%) | ppi/Hz |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black | Engraving CO2 | 40 | 65 | 500 |
| Red | Cutting CO2 | 30 | 3.2 | 1000 |
| Passes | Air assist | Z-Offset | direction | Path planning | Advanced |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ON | +1 | bottom to top | - | optimized quality, correction: 5 |
| 1 | ON | - | - | throughput | correction: 5 |
Step 3: Assembly
After the laser, take the butterfly out of the laser machine. To remove the dust, carefully clean the wall sticker with a soft, damp cloth. Then glue some pieces of the double-sided adhesive tape onto the back of the wall sticker. Design the decoration according to your wishes
