Engraved my 2020 MBP, see what happened!

Finally!
I decided to engrave on my brand new MBP with my hands on my heart hoping that nothing goes wrong.
For the height measurment i followed this post and it helped me a lot in determining the exact required height to acheive best outcome.
I copied the settings from GF dashboard material (Speed: 1000, Power: Full, LPI: 450) and prayed to be perfect .
Now this is the moment you are waiting for after about 45 minutse or so.

I’m happy that it went perfect and grateful to all the posts out there.

That turned out great.! The design is very pretty and is aligned perfectly.

This is sooo good! I may need to buy a macbook just so I can do this to it!

Looks great. I’ve always been so scared to try this… Especially after seeing what happened when @geek2nurse tried it!

MacBook Pro engraving -- What NOT to do

One of the first things I planned to do with my Glowforge when I got it nearly two years ago was to engrave my MacBook Pro. Unfortunately, however, the pattern I purchased and tediously adapted for that purpose ended up being too big to load into the GFUI, so I used it for my iPad instead (although I chickened out and used veneer instead of engraving it directly). When I discovered recently that, thanks to all the improvements since then, the larger file will now upload, I decided to FINALLY do…

I remember this post, i was hoping not to go through that experience. I hope she managed to recover her MBP.

Actually, i try to study my project well before trying the real one. I learned this the hard way

I’m impressed…what nice work!

“You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din!” I don’t think I would ever have the testicular fortitude to do that to my Apple products

@wenning08 @ptodd

Thanks!

[f.alrumaidheen]

It’s actually better than in the picture.

[f.alrumaidheen]

Thanks for your kind words, it’s always nice to experience something new even if it destroys you (financially)

And it does look good!

I love it! My big fear is that it will come out misaligned somehow. How did you align it so well?
