Phil,

Have you actually tried that (make it work with paint?). Maybe I had the wrong paint, but in my case the paint that was hit with laser changed into hard coal, and could not easily be removed. For me the laser engraver was a waste of money (though it was fun to build), and upgrade to better accuracy.
And I think it is not rigid enough to change it into an engraver.

P.S. It also tried the laser printer transfer method, and also failed. Hence I am making sea of holes PCB's manually. And since through hole is vanishing, I think JLC is my only left option.
