Laser engraving soap

I laser cut Queen Elizabeth 1st into Ivory Soap on September 20, 2026:




The wood support was unnecessary
as the soap did not melt and drip into the laser cutter


I laser cut at 100% speed, but different powers:
  • 20% power -- too light
  • 40% power -- perhaps Goldilocks
  • 60% power -- deeper, but messier result

RESULTS
Speed 100
Power 20, 40 and 60


Speed 100
Power 40
-- the Goldilocks combination?

Speed 100
Power 60
-- too messy


None of the white Ivory Soap cuts turned out very decent.  I probably need a harder and/or darker soap.
