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.

The material is a heavy Cardboard, Coated with Printed pictures on it. Originally a Donut Box Lid from Lickin Good Donuts in Mobile Alabama. Heavier than heavy Cardstock or poster board but not quite as heavy as cardboard. I don't know the thickness so I just said 1 mm in this but I used the 5/64" (2mm) printable paperboard setting and reduced to 1 pass and 85% power and air assist at 100%. Worked Perfect!

Same material on xTool M2. Engrave stays the same regardless of thickness; cut changes with thickness.
