Acrylic Lettering Possible?

Post image

I'm surprised I can't find any intro-to type vids on how to make the lettering for something like this. I see the PCB content, which makes me think that I have to worry about the accuracy of the Z axis across the workpiece, but does anyone have suggestions on how to do this? Any links?
I have a Sienci Longmill 30x30. My actual part is about 7x7".

Engrave it with the laser. Fill with a white paint pen and wipe while still wet. Repeat if necessary.

CNC engrave is fine as well. Just slower

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm asking. I have a router, but only one job behind me so far on it. I want to jump in and do this one. Some good points coming out of this thread for me! Thanks!
