Making a backlit LED acrylic sign with Co2 laser

In this video, I'll show you how to create a simple yet professional laser cut backlit acrylic sign without using any glue. This step-by-step tutorial will guide you through the process, and you'll learn how to add LED lighting to create a cool neon sign. Perfect for businesses, events, or home decor. I also show a couple of bonus projects using two-tone acrylic.

Note: You could add acrylic glue to the back of the sign to reinforce the parts if the sign will be moved around a lot, and the glue is transparent so it won't affect the look of the sign.

Laser Projects. That's really handy having two toned acrylic. And that's a cool laser cutter. Adding that to my dream workshop ideas list.😊

Matt awesome project and love the way you put it all together in this video. The difference between the standard LEDs and the Rope style was night and day thank you for sharing that! Laser Projects!

I work at a company that does a lot of projects using acrylic and we solved this issue using frost, opal white (the name vary with the brand) or even ilumisheet. It ends the huge variation between dark and light portions of the sign.

I haven't messed with acrylic much, other than to make a 3- layer thick blast gate for the inside of my cabinet's exhaust vent. We converted one of our spare bedrooms in our now empty-nester home, and my son is coming over to help make it a complete studio to do laser, vinyl, and sublimation crafts. I really like these LASER PROJECTS!

I have this square LED fixture in our laundry closet. I disassembled it when I bought it so that I could retrofit the original light fixture from a 75w incandescent to an led. When I disassembled the fixture, I noticed they used similar LED's strip to what you have initially, but used a sheet of non transparent paper (kind of like tracing paper) and a sheet of glass to diffuse the light so you don't see the individual LED's. Just mentioning this as I know sometimes we get in a bind and have to work with what's on hand. This was an awesome project! Thanks for sharing.

Laser Project: Thank you for showing the way that something may not work and how you corrected it. It's much more helpful than the perfect only shots.

Laser projects. Love watching the process (mistakes are just learning opportunities) and seeing the end result. Have my sights set on a better laser, just not quite there yet.
