Lacrosse Ball

Hey, has anyone tried engraving a lacrosse ball with their glowforge?
If so what settings did you use. Did it turn out okay?

I doubt it - regulation lacrosse balls are 2.5” in diameter and the maximum material thickness for the Glowforge is just shy of 2 inches.

If you have a small one or something, they can be made of silicone, polyurethane, latex rubber, and various types of vinyl.
In the US they’re generally rubber or polyurethane, which is laserable.
Vinyl is not laserable, and can release a gas that will eat parts of your machine.

Polyurethane seems more prone to melting than anything else, but there are good settings for rubber (here’s a link to one):
