If that is one of those engravers that vibrates, you may be inducing cracks in that plastic that cannot be seen to the naked eye. Cracked caps need to be tossed in the round can immediately. If you're having such a hard time determining which terminal is which, use some masking tape to write on which can be peeled off later.
