    Step 2: 3D Printing Parts

      Using 3D Printer prints it. (I use Snapmaker 3IN1 3D Printer and use Snapmaker3D Software)

      Parament:

      • Materials: PLA
      • Adhesion: Brim
      • Support: None
      • (Stamp2.stl: Touch Buildplate)
      • Mode: High quality

      3D Printing Tips:

      1. Adding support:
        • do not add support whenever possible. If you must add support, add support to rectangular surfaces instead of circular surfaces.
      2. Designing model:
        • try not to use overhang structures. If there is an overhang structure, you can divide the model into two parts.

      Step 3: Laser Engraves on EVA

      Using 200mW Laser Engraving Module engraved the image.

      Parament:

      • Materials: EVA
      • Size: 42 x 42
      • Power: 100%
      • Work speed: 80

      Laser Engraving Tips:

      1. Tips for finding the focus:
        • if the laser dot on the material is too large no matter how you move the Z axis, you can use the calibration card provided by Snapmaker or a piece of dark-color paper. (Black will be great. Dark materials absorb light which reveals the correct size of the laser dot, while light materials reflect light.) In this way, you can find the focus more accurately.
