You can absolutely kill your self engraving the wrong material.
Look at the xtool m2, it comes with a air filtration system and also can print onto engravings

Good advice.
I have a full exhaust setup that sucks everything outside, but it’s good to be extra cautious with these things

Even with an exhaust setup, pvc creates chlorine gas which only takes a little breathing in to kill you. Filter plus exhaust

Duly noted.
I’ll stick with PLA/PETG only if I get a laser.
Much obliged!

No worries! Laser engraving is fun, but it doesn’t burn through stuff so much as vaporizes it, most home hobbyist level companies don’t do a good job of warning you of the dangers. PVC = Chlorine Gas and ABS = Cyanide gas are good rules of thumb
