Before your work begins

Step 1: Place Your Acrylic for Laser Engraving

Choose an acrylic on the laser honeycomb bed.

Step 2: Open the Night Lamp File

Import the night lamp design in LightBurn and check if your acrylic size is large enough.

For laser engraving night lamp 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.

Step 3: Check the Laser Night Lamp Settings

Ensure that the parameters are set correctly to achieve the ideal laser engraving night lamp.

If the min power is too low, it will cause the stroking corners will be too shallow and the cutting corners will not cut through; if the min power is too high, it will cause the stroking to cut through the corners and the laser cutting will be bad at the corners.

Step 4: Focus on the Acrylic

Without focusing, your outcomes may fall short of expectations. So before starting, make sure you’ve rightly focused.

For focusing, you have two options: Auto Focus, which is simple—just press the AF button on the Thunder Bolt screen. Then you’re ready to have a laser engraving.

Step 5: Frame the Night Lamp Design and Start Laser Engraving

When you click “Frame”, the red light will display the laser engraving area. This is a safe process, and the frame will align with the acrylic. Once aligned, simply press “Start” to begin the night lamp laser engraving with the Thunder Bolt!

Step 6: Monitor the Laser Engraving Process

To avoid any issues, carefully monitor the laser engraving, 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 7: Complete the Night Lamp Laser Task

When the laser engraving night lamp is completed, it’s time to get it out. Then it’s just a fun assembly time to get the ideal night lamp. Imagine the joy of assembling the night lamp, as each piece clicks into place to create a beautiful, layered home decoration.
