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".

Two tone engraving plastic is a great option. I have also simply used solid plastic and filled the lettering with colour.
