For better laser marking, the Apple Watch strap should be as flat as possible. To flatten the ring, we cut a mold out of 3mm basswood board: the bottom layer is a rectangle; the top layer is the same rectangle with shape of the strap cut in the center, just enough to accommodate the strap.

We glued the two layers together and placed the strap in the hole, checking with a spirit level that it was flat for laser marking.

Import the Apple Watch strap design in LightBurn and check if your strap 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 cork coaster. Once aligned, simply press “Start” to begin the Apple Watch strap 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 custom Apple Watch strap laser engraving is completed, it’s time to get it out. Laser engraving does not produce toxic substances, and you can wear the Apple Watch strap after a simple cleaning and assembling.
