Choose a keycap of your favorite color, and put the ABS or PBT keycaps on the laser bed.

Load your design into LightBurn software, adjusting its size and position to fit you ABS & PBT keycaps. The two materials, ABS and PBT, have different parameters, so make sure the laser marking parameters are set correctly.

Missing the focus is one of the biggest reasons for laser marking failure. So don’t forget to click the AF button for auto focus. Of course, manual focus is also effective.

When two red dots are displayed on the ABS & PBT keycaps, it is out of focus. When the two light dots overlap each other, it means in focus.

Manual focus

Press the frame button and check if the visual red light indicate the right area to be marked. The frame should be located in the middle of the ABS & PBT keycaps. If not, move the pattern positions until they align.

After checking, close the laser door and begin Aurora 8’s operation.

Stay near the machine throughout operation to monitor for any unusual sounds or alarms. This vigilance ensures safety during laser marking, as the energy is potent. Avoid looking directly at the laser beam, even with protective measures in place.

Once laser marking is complete, carefully open the door and get your personalized ABS & PBT keycaps. Laser marking does not produce toxic substances, and you can use it after a simple cleaning!
