Yeah, that looks great! To make the filling process cleaner/easier I use this masking paper from Johnson Plastics. Works like a champ even with low tack so it comes off easy but not too easy. Simply engrave and leave the masking paper on and push the fill into the engraved areas and give it a few minutes to dry and it’s golden.

Do you remember the settings you used for this aluminum pen? I’d like to do something similar, but don’t know where to start with testing. Thanks!

I’ll have to check tonight when I get home.
Quick reminder:
Glowforge requires us to confine discussion of manual settings in their forums to the Beyond the Manual category. The current preferred practice is to either move the entire thread to Beyond the Manual or, to start a new thread there and, link to it from this one.

I"m jealous. I just got my lathe 80% unburied from the move a year ago.
don’t have power to the lathe yet but the wire is very close 
Sorry, I seem to not have noted down the settings… But I think I remember them - I’ll post them in “beyond the manual”.
