That's some decent offset fill result. I have been testing out offset fill myself but struggling to get a nice result out of it with my Ikier K1 Pro 24W (nearly same as Aterz L2 24W). I'm guessing the 'line interval' parameter is a big factor for this engrave pattern.
Also curious about the 3mm wood you're using in here. Is it plywood (multiplex)? If so, what kind of wood (poplar, birch, etc...)?

[@3dPrintCreator]

Hi, from you using the word Multiplex, I am guessing you are from the Netherlands.
If so, at the Praxis, Gamma and some other shops where they sell wood, you can get "Timmerplaat" or Lumber.
That's the kind of wood I am using for almost all my laser cutting and engraving.
I have no problems cutting 3, 5 or 8 mullimeters thick lumber with both the Ikier K1 or the Atezr L2 (they are indeed nearly identical).

[@nialzinth]

Almost correct, I live in Belgium. I did try Gamma but they only have either thin (3mm+) hardwood multiplex or thick (1cm+) softwood multiplex around here
Ended up finding a somewhat local wood store which sells 3mm poplar multiplex. A first material test did very well. Cutting through in a single pass at a good speed is what I am looking for and this did the job so far.
