Any tips or suggestions on what the method is for labeling buttons on a black plastic project box? Its small box 120mm x 60mm and it has a few buttons that could do with labeling.

Im going to run the code on my machine at some point this week and test it.
that appears to be what i am trying to achieve. You have faced the stock and then the tool path has started from the correct height after the facing operation.
