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.

This is the very unorthodox settings that I use on my 10W M2 for engraving silicone bands. I kept reading "low power, high speeds, 1-2 passes,” buuuutttt I found that high power, moderate speed and 6 passes gave me excellent results, but it does take anywhere between 13 and 24 minutes per band... Fair warning, the completely opaque bands work best, no bubbling. There may be slight bubbling/texture with the ones that you can see light through (affected colors for me are very dark blue/navy, hot pink, and minimally on lime green), it is just the nature of a diode + silicone with any sort of light transparency, I think...
