1.  Prepare the Necessary Tools and Materials

L-shaped Positioning Pieces *2
Anodized Aluminum Business Cards (a few pieces)
Engraving Material

2. Set Up the Laser Engraving Machine
Connect the engraving machine to your computer using the Type-C data cable with the red connector, then power on the machine. Launch LightBurn or LaserGRBL software (this guide uses LightBurn as an example). Import the configuration file and select the correct serial port to connect the computer to the engraving machine (you can refer to the connection video provided on the YouTube channel). In the Console, click Switch carving mode to switch the machine to engraving mode.

3. Using the L-shaped Positioning Pieces
First, use M3X8 Thumb Screws to fasten the L-shaped positioning pieces to the baseplate, ensuring that the positioning pieces are not tilted. Position the engraving material against the L-shaped pieces to ensure consistent positioning during engraving, enabling repeatable engravings as shown in the diagram below:

4. Import the Engraving Design
Open LightBurn software, click File > Import to import the design file that you wish to engrave. Adjust the positioning of the design in the software. In the Laser interface, click Frame to confirm the engraving will be in the correct position.

5. Adjust the Laser Parameters
Set the laser power, engraving speed, and line interval based on the anodized aluminum material. A recommended setting for black-green material would be:

Speed: 8000mm/min

Power: 30%

Line Interval: 0.06mm
Enable Constant Power (note that different colors require different power settings, and these values are for reference).
 

6. Start Engraving     
First, run a test engraving. Select the design and click Switch to carving mode in the Console, then click Start in the Laser page to begin the test engraving. Ensure the parameters deliver the expected results. Once satisfied with the test results, proceed with batch engraving.
