Information
      An autumn themed design, intended to go on pumpkins, as the example picture shows.
Instruction is focused on F1, but as we just use the blue diode any machine can be used. If you follow the pumpkin example your machine should be able to handle the curved surface.

Step1: How to do it:
Preview
  1. Place your pumpkin under the laser. Feel free to use anything to keep your item placed solid. As you see, I used the included cutting plate with great success. Also a stable base is the RA2 in roller config, but just use it to position the item. We need multiple passes later. You might consider removing the base plate and put your F1 sideways to go for larger pumpkins.  If you find a suitable way to mount the pumpkin on the chuck you can go to the max. Allways use extra eye protection when you can not cover your object completely!!!
  2. frame design as desired. Don't worry too much on curved surfaces, F1 is quite tolerant on focus
  3. set focus slightly below highest point. Best results are of course if you set focus exactly between highest and lowest point.
  4. burn the project. Power settings are on the careful side, to avoid burning the item.
  5. Use repeat function (double click start button) as desired. Youe will need at least 3 passes.
  6. Be creative and feel free to use the design on other fruits or objects. It is pretty detailed and allows for some sizing up.
