Laser Engraving Top Cover Viability

Hi folks,

I wanted to see if anyone had ever laser engraved their framework 13 top cover.

For reference I’ve access to a Glowforge Pro that has a 45 watt laser and a RetinaEngrave PS24 90 watt laser. As far as I’m aware (How Many Watts Does a Laser Need to Engrave Metal?) 30 watts is enough so I imagine the 6063 Aluminum of the CNC top cover should be good enough right?

Would love to discuss more, thanks!
