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.

This is a sign that 3d printed for a friend. I then engraved my LOGO and a message on the backside of the sign using the xTool F2. These are the best settings I have found when conducting material tests on black PLA filament. I used the cross hatch mode found under advanced settings.
