Yeah I got the ideas of doing the gradient engrave from @PrintToLaser and @johnse in this post from a while back. I’ll have to ask if they’ve noticed anything different from the engrave passes going vertically ( I ) instead of horizontally ( – ). I feel like a vertical engrave would help “drag” the ligth along the path where as a horizontal would make it diffuse out quicker and not let it get bright at the top.
