This engraving plastic works as well in my laser as any other I have tried. It comes with a plastic protective film on top. You want to leave that film on when you cut and then carefully remove it afterwards as it will keep your material from getting all sooted up. Raster engraving will not leave a smooth surface. I've tried the stuff from Trotec laser and I didn't get a smooth raster finish with that either. What does work is cutting, and it's cousin - vector engraving (which is just cutting, but with less power and faster so it doesn't go through). The top coat on engraving plastic is REAL thin, so you'll likely find that the fastest movement and the lowest power your laser will do will be enough to leave marks. THE MOST IMPORT THING IS SAFETY!! I run a Middle School makerspace. The most important part of onboard training (Which i do for each and every tool in the space, for each and every student that comes in) is how to work with a tool safely. Lasers work by cutting things with heat, so a risk with laser cutting is always FIRE. I've had fires start when cutting cardboard, paper, foamcore, and rubber. You should ALWAYS have a fire extinguisher next to your laser cutter. You should always check before you start cutting that you know where said extinguisher is. You should NEVER leave the laser while it's running. Watch it work! Also, you might keep a spray bottle full of water near the laser. Most laser fires can be extinguished with a few swirts of water and that's a lot easier to clean up than a fire extinguisher. You will need the following upgrades on your laser to use this material: 1) FUME EXHAUST: Folks, having an exhaust to take your fumes outside is super important no matter what you are cutting in the laser. Cutting WOOD in the laser results in ultrafine (<2.5pm) particles that are hazardous to your health. This stuff is ABS plastic, read up on burning ABS - it will release formaldehyde which is REAALLY bad for you! Don't skimp out, get a fume exhaust system in place. 2) Air assist: ABS is known to be a fire-prone material when laser cutting. Having an air assist is really important for blowing out most fires that will start when cutting this material. Again, don't cheap out, an air assist costs less than a new laser cutter or house.

Wenn man einen Laser hat möchte man auch Schilder gravieren! Daher gehört für mich dieses Set eigentlich zur Grundausstattung

You get what you pay for, good product. Just make sure you removed the protection film before engraving ;)
