The first test subjects for engraving were glass and anodized aluminum. Since I don't have an exhaust system connected yet, these two materials create virtually no smoke.
Below is a rastered image on black anodized aluminum created from an already low resolution color image. The large square is 20mm wide. The horizontal lines are caused by the rough surface of the extrusion.
