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.

Using an XTOOL S1 40W. This is the top layer of a two layer project. Size is 2 1/2." Maybe a coaster, kitchen magnet or something else. Edges are black but no scorching on face. The letters dropped their centers so I need to edit the nodes or choose a stencil font. Sixteenth (1.5mm) material may be a better choice for this project to let the colors of the back piece show through or maybe just engrave the name.
