I tried the laser etched PCB with the same laser and the same settings, I could not get it to etch through the copper. No clue why. Always impressed with the Opulo guys, but wish it was reproducible.
I tried with the same laser and settings as well, and couldn't get it to work either.
I think the issue is that if there's a tarnish on the copper, it will work okay. The problem is when you polish the copper. It turns reflective and will not absorb the energy of the laser.
A 5W UV laser or a 100W MOPA laser will give better results. I'm thinking about a 200W version for black friday.
