These were my first pen engravings. They were all done in the jig (credit / shoutout to Samcraft on YouTube for the jig file) but only 3 or less at a time. With the exception of the 'Mark's & Síle's pens the settings are identical for all of them and the only difference with those two is they had 2 passes instead of 1. There was no recommended settings for these pens, but there was for ones that had an LED torch, so I started there and after a lot of testing , these are my preferred settings: Power: 45% speed: 80mm/s passes: 2 You should know that these settings are significantly different to the recommended ones (30%,80mm/s, 1 pass) but I found my settings gave a 'cleaner/brighter' result. Mark.
