this part is when you go to illustrator and go to print and scale it 1.75in by 2.75in
This when you had to create an outline and have a hole for the key chain part and the outlines are supposed to be in red so the machine cut it out.
This is after I added some pics and put my name and that was my finished project on illustrator

Then you print then you go pick the type of material so you click plastic then extruded acrylic then go to the UPC software to operate the laser cuter.
Then I put the acrylic on a straight part in the laser cuter then made sure the laser lined up on the acrylic
This is in the middle of the process of getting engraved and cut out
The finished product

During the project the problems that I faced was editing the images to make them not pix-elate so it will show up good for the key chain.
