In my journey to create a fountain pen, I also tried to Laser Engrave Ebonite to give the outside of the pen a cool look and also to make the Section have more "grip". I tried to stipple somehow the section and engraving patterns to the Ebonite. I tried to do this with the XTool F1 Ultra Laser Engraving System.
August 2025
I test engraved some rest parts of Ebonite. The idea would be to make patterns on the round fountain pens and also on the Section. The Section should have more grip and the outsite of the Pen should be just engraved with a Pattern to make it just nicer.
I have a professional 60W MOPA Fiber Laser Engraving Machine with EZCad for Metal Engraving, but I also have an XTool F1 Ultra for other Materials than Metal. I decided to try out the Engraving with the XTool since I already done some Engraving with the Chuck Tool. I also have a Chuck Tool for the other Machine, but EZCad is not "my best friend". So in a first attempt I engraved on a rest piece of Ebonite and it came out quite nice. I just engraved straight.
