How did you manage to leave the power at 70 and not crack the acrylic? I did it on mine here at 50 power and it cracked everything

Thank you so much for this video, the photo looks great! however, I have an Ortur OML3 so I use the settings in Lightburn. Do you know what settings in Lightburn correspond with the Xtool settings you mentioned? Thanks

You two are fantastic, always make me smile with your enthusiasm, and a lovely couple to boot. Maybe think about a CNC machine too. Lasers and CNC are a great combo. CNCs can cut anything so forget the laser. On these sign, I cut on my CNC with a crappy Chinese end mill which leaves the edges relatively rough. This makes the overall effect much better believe it or not. Keep it up.

Best wishes, from Australia.

You absolutely can cut Acrylic on a 10w diode laser - just not CLEAR - I use orange, red, black, white, and all kinds to makey 100's of keychains on the same setup you have.

When engraving on the backside of a clear material, the image would be inverted so that things like words on, say, a shirt aren't backward.

Thank you for this video. I made my first acrylic picture and it turned out awesome of my late puppy Sadie.

[billieb]

did you focus on the acrylic or on the cardstock?

[finbpue]

[themunce]

Question? Did you focus on the card stock or on the acrylic? Thanks for the tutorial!

[purepele]

This laser can engrave acrylic mirror backside?

[edmelzark]

Question, I noticed that your name was Mirrored on your shirt, why??

[ValYo]

Hi there! Is this a 10W laser you tried it on? I just got the M1 Ultra with the 20W and would like to try. Thank you!

[BryantWoodcraft]

I have a D1 Pro 2 10W. Set up the image following exactly what you did on imagr. Ran 70% @ 65 mm/s grayscale at 80 lines per cm. It popped like crazy quite a bit throughout the job, and left these blowout bubbles for lack of a better description. Any suggestions on where to improve? I sincerely appreciate your thorough videos. I’ve only had it a week so just kind of stumbling through the learning process. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

[Parthasarathynarayanan]

Do you need to mirror the image as you are printing in the back?

[NerdTrigger]

Nice tutorial. Jst want to ask, there's no need to apply anything on the surface of the acrylic?
