For better laser marking, the scratch paper should be as flat as possible.

Import the lace butterfly design in LightBurn and check if your scratch paper size is large enough.

Double-check everything, and decide if you want to add or subtract elements according to your preferences.

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.

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 scratch paper. Once aligned, simply press “Start” to begin the scratch paper laser engraving with the Thunder Bolt!

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.

When the scratch paper lace butterfly laser engraving is completed, it’s time to get it out.
