More laser experiments today, this time involving varying the laser power using a depth map. Big thanks to nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqtc82zp9nyaugn6hm086ssk2rmycxgmsvqjd3y5la500rndgj8s9q83l75f (nprofile…l75f) for finding this tool that can convert an STL into a depth map (either SVG or PNG): https://kbralten.github.io/STL_PNG_Depth/index.html

The black acrylic worked the best I think. Will be fun to test more deep engraving when I get some more (which should be tomorrow). Also need to figure out how to stop discolouration on the wood, especially on the deeper one.
