Trouble engraving dice

A friend let me borrow his xtool F1. I’m trying to engrave acrylic dice. I ultimately I want to engrave these just deep enough that I can paint the die, wipe away the paint that isn’t in the recesses, and do custom dice.

I keep playing with the settings, but I end up either barely scoring it, or like the picture, melting it.

Any help would be appreciated.

We just passed 12 weeks, all the scans and blood tests are good, it’s real. I’m gonna have a son!

I’m asking for two things here. First, especially over the next 6 months, what can I do to prep, and for my wife, that the books and articles don’t mention? I feel kind of useless right now, and am looking for ways to step up, both in supporting my wife, and getting ready for the kid.

Second, what items did you not have when your child was born that you wish you did?
