Step 1: Place Your Acrylic and Cork for Laser Cutting
Pick cheerful, sun-inspired materials to bring your Corky Sun Memo Board to life. This design uses two layers of acrylic—white and orange—to form the glowing rays of the sun, creating a bright and playful base. At the center, a cork circle features a smiling face that’s both functional and fun. The combination of vivid acrylic and warm cork brings contrast, texture, and a little sunshine to your space.
Step 2: Open the Sun Memo Board File and Check the Laser Settings
Import the corky sun memo board design in LightBurn and check if your material size is large enough. To make sure the decoration sits perfectly at the center of the base, here’s a handy tip: add a outline to the center of the base layer. This way, you can easily align the decoration during assembly.
For laser cutting corky sun memo board with a lot of elements, ensure there are no misalignments or unnecessary overlaps in the file. Double-check everything, and decide if you want to add or subtract elements according to your preferences.
Ensure that the parameters are set correctly:
If the min power is too low, the cutting corners will not cut through; if the min power is too high, the laser cutting will be bad at the corners.
Step 3: Focus on the Acrylic and Cork
When you click “Frame”, the red light will display the laser cutting area. This is a safe process, and the frame will align with the material. Once aligned, simply press “Start” to begin the corky sun memo board laser cutting with the Thunder Bolt!
Step 4: Frame the Design and Start and Cutting
When you click “Frame”, the red light will display the laser cutting area. This is a safe process, and the frame will align with the acrylic. Once aligned, simply press “Start” to begin the corky sun memo board laser cutting with the Thunder Bolt!
Step 5: Monitor the Laser Cutting Process
To avoid any issues, carefully monitor the laser cutting, especially when unusual conditions like alarms arise.
Considering the laser cutting energy, for safety reasons, we advise against staring directly at the process, even with the laser door closed.
Step 6: Assemble the Corky Sun Memo Board
When the acrylic laser cutting is complete, it’s time to bring your corky sun memo board to life. Remeber, assemble it layer by layer.
Start by gluing the light white and red pieces on the white base, making sure to align them precisely with the outline for a clean look. Next, the orange layer and the cork smile face.
