Just a few before and after pics of my M3 Touring conversion. Still debating whether to put the roof rails back on.

New to laser engraving and just ordered a Haotian 30W Raycus Fiber laser machine with lens 110 & 210 lenses, and D100 rotary.
I will primarily be using it to engrave anodized aluminum at a 0.003 inch minimum depth and also because of the rotary personalizing tumblers.
Anyone have any good references material or sources I should start reviewing, watching, etc so I can start getting familiar as I wait the machine to arrive?
My head is spinning trying to figure out best option for a fiber laser primarily used for NFA engraving - budget ideally 1500 - 2000 USD. Originally I was going to stretch the budget to 2500 USD with a Monport GT 30W but starting to read here that the company isn't the best for support and quality. Can I get away with just a 20W? I really don't want to spend more than 2000.
