Great job. I need to learn this technique. Those are beautiful and stand out so well.

Thanks, I used a diamond spring loaded engraving bit. I had the speed turned to 50 IPM to help with the detail.

How do I get rid of the line that I blown up on the wings? This area is where it will stop and go to another place and start and finish at those spots areas.

Check your Z clearance under Material Setup, it may not be high enough to accommodate the spring in the engraver.
