Colorful geometric sea turtle on a metal dog tag #UV

Think of it like the initial unboxing setup; never skip this step, no matter how tedious it may seem. 

Run some random dummy test patterns to ensure the laser is stable and ready.

Place the dog tag directly on the machine's base plate. Set the laser focal height to 4.6mm (do not use any additional risers; my dog tag itself is approximately 2mm thick).

Enjoy your results!
