1/8"(3mm) Maple Plywood

Shared by @eleanormcmakin on Atomm

Important safety notice

Settings are starting points — always run a test cut on scrap before your final piece. Follow your manufacturer's guidance, wear eye protection, and ensure proper ventilation.

You will need to wipe down the edges to remove the char but this is the perfect setting for a nice dark engraving without going too deep. Adding a touch of oil (the tiniest amount) also goes a long way in enhancing the result (not pictured).

Same material on xTool P2. Engrave stays the same regardless of thickness; cut changes with thickness.
