I just engraved Retardoface.

And what did you?

Yes it helps a lot for the camera to light it with expanded 405nm goodness.
Hard to match the perfect reflection angle to see it in daylight how you can do with your eyes.

 

[lpstealth]

nice what kind of power is your laser?

 

[Xer0]

dunno. its one of these overspec eBay Pens, mostly measured between 30-50 mW here!

Cool, but it's Awesome Face, not retarded at all

 

[Greenmechanic]

For <50mW it looks like it has a strong beam. Maybe that card has properties that allow it to burn easily. Etching/Burning looks very deep in the photos.
You sir ,have a much steadier hand then I do.
I have a hard time writing smaller then 4" high letters on my 24"X24" GITD screen from 5' away.
I'm turning into one of those shaky old men you see at McDonalds:cryyy:LOL

I copied the Name from PL, where its called Retardo

Thanks Greenmechanics. It's one of these "talents" i developed in childage, could write micro text with a sharp pencil and so. but now in my old 22 years, i vae to be very calm and relaxed for that. no way of doing this when im in my usual rush for college-housework-etc

The card is white but printed blue with offset. seems to "eat" 405nm very good. i etched a bit on a black cable too, works good. think my unit is very very overspec... can cut tape too!
