First I colour engraved the stainless steel with an absract pattern ~10 layers with variable settings. Defocus 4.5mm. I then made a shape from clipart and drew an outline for cutting. The clipart was engraved focused on top of colour engraving then the outline cut out. They are approx 2 x 3 cm in size takes about 35 minutes each. Settings 100% power 5mm/s 60 passes 40Hz stepwise descent 0.01mm every pass. If it doesnt go all the way through just add more passes.
