Hi, i've been trying to find the most effective and easy way to create a nice colorfilled engraving, but so far i'm not all to enthousiastic about the results i get.
When for example i engrave a number "2" of 30mm high at 254 dpi the engraved surface is not very smooth. When i fill this engraved area with a thin layer of paint the "un-smoothyness" stay's visible through the paint.
I tried to engrave deeper in the acrylic but that didn't do the trick either.
When i try to fill it with acrylic paint it's almost impossible to avoid the paint to spoil on the area's which should stay the original color.
I've tried al kinds of settings, various speeds, powersettings, different dpi settings, masking tape ( takes forever to remove if you engrave a lot of small letters).
I've tried different kinds of acrylic both cast and extruded.
So i'm hoping someone in the zone can give me some hint's on how to approach this.
