Practicing on cheap wine glasses with my 20w xTool diode. Have tried few configs, either very little engraving or crack with good engravings. Not sure what is the best speed/power combination. Any help?
Any size or width constraints ? Should I avoid certain font types? Should I avoid fill?

      What’s probably happening is that they heat generated by the laser creates too much stress for the object…
      You only have two options… faster speed at the same or same speed and lower power…
      The heat will be stored in the object until it can be dissipated…
      What are you using for the laser to heat?
      Most of these dpssl are visible light, so you have to use that to heat something else to transfer the heat… What do you use?
      This isn’t limited to just glass…
      I have 1’x2’ slate floor times that I use in the fiber laser…
      I did a Mayan calendar on one of them… wasn’t too bad…
      The wife delayed dinned for a few until my job completed… We were eating dinner and hear a loud pop…
