Laser Cutting Acrylic at Home - ENGRAVE AND CUT ACRYLIC SHEET

In this video I share with you my experiences of laser cutting and laser engraving acrylic sheet. With ideas for starter projects. I love using my laser engravers and it opens up a whole world of opportunity to create bespoke and personalised items, for personal use, gifts or to start a business maybe.

My favourite lasers are D1

I make all my crafts for personal use and for fun, I do not sell my air dry clay projects.
Please always wear the correct protective equipment when using lasers as they can be very harmful and toxic, these are just ideas, please seek professional advise for further required information.

Thank you for watching,

Aren't you beautiful! Your voice is so gentle and tips really useful. Am now feeling much more confident I can do this.

Hi Sarah, great video.

The laser cutter that you are using in this video is using a “diode” as the means to produce the laser beam. Due to way the diode produces the laser beam it will not work at all on clear acrylic or white acrylic as you have seen in your testing. If you were to use a co2 laser it would work perfectly on both clear and white acrylic. Other than that I think you did a great job at producing clean cuts and I like the designs you made. Nice idea making test pieces to keep for future use!

What is a good inexpensive desktop laser cutter for cutting/drilling Plexiglas/acrylic sheet? Mike in LA, Calif, USA

[PositiveVibesChannel-ryis]

Hi its nice . Can you please let me know which free software you are using for laser cutting .

[kellyjean]

Thank you! This was a very helpful video

Thank you for this video, I started with Blue, didn’t see this video until after the fact. It didn’t cut no matter the setting. I have the XTool d1 pro 10w. My challenge is finding a good company to buy acrylic from here in the US. XTool is out of the popular colors.

Interesting idea for a small business. Is the native software difficult to learn? You said Adobe Illustrator but I don't have that, would Inkscape or another open source vector graphics software be usable in your machine? Great tutorial. TFS!!

Hi I have a question about what are the settings for cutting acrylic and plexiglass. I use lightburn. Thanks

[ricardmollon]

Thanks for the video Sarah!
I have a question on the LaserPecker 2. Have you tried to engrave on transparent acrylic? If so, could you show the outcome?

[sparkydoodles]

Can the laser pecker 2 cut acrylic? I noticed you were using the XTool to do the cutting. Thanks great video!

[waleedantar]

Hello, can you tell me how can I cut the transparent acrylic ? speed and power for S9 laser ?

[yalelixvega]

Hi, I'm looking for buying my first laser cutter. The Xtool D1 can cut colors acrylic? I want one for make jewelry like you show us in this video. Thank you

[maryknelsen]

Thank you for this video! I also just got an XTool but cannot figure out the settings for acrylic 😑
Would you mind sharing your settings for cutting acrylic?

[pradeeprajiwale]

Nice and Creative. Which software you used for this?

[BlkKeyCptl]

What is the thickness of sheets you use?

[danskifpv]

Have you ever tried cutting and engraving kirinite scales? They're about 10 quid for 2 scales of 1/4 inch thickness so not very cheap. Just really wondering if it's possible to have 2 slabs of it and make a USB stick case by engraving it inside to fit

Enjoyed your video! Please let me know what problems you've had with your x-tool.
