Laser Cutting Living Hinge Photo Frames

Langkah 1: Siapkan Karya Seni

In your design software, open the file in the design software of your choice, then send it to the Laser Dashboard.

Langkah 2: Atur Parameter di Dasbor Laser

In the Epilog dashboard, input your cutting settings for cutting and scoring the taskboard. On an 80-watt Fusion Edge 24 we used 30% speed, 25% power, and 50% frequency for the vector process, and 100% Speed, 3% Power, 2% Frequency for the scoring process. Send the job to the laser.

Step 3: Cut the Living Hinge Frame

At the laser, select the job and press go to start cutting the taskboard.

Step 4: Assemble Living Hinge Frame

After removing the cut pieces from the laser, assemble it by gluing the thin strip guide pieces together, then glue them down over the score lines of the frame. Ensure that the thinner piece is glued side down.

Step 5: Spray Paint Frame

Once the glue has dried, paint both sides of the frame any color of your choosing. For this project we used MTN 94 Spray Paint in the color “Vespa Green”.

Step 6: Final Touches

Once the paint has dried, place the tab end of the frame into the slot, then slide your picture into the frame.

Now your living hinge picture frames are ready to go!
