Lots of great information, you make it so approachable!

[MileyonDisney]

My biggest takeaway from this video - sticky sheets. I use it for my mold-making process, didn't think of using it for laser. Thanks!

[drkline]

I use spray on contact Cement. It gives you a little bit of working time to get the piece positioned. When fully assembled, I place something heavy on top of it for an hour or so.

[AmandaFoster-peop]

Creative Fabrica is a great place for laser files

[swishair]

wow, some great designs. Love the sticky -adhesive paper. I been using the 8 x 11 sheets. Super job again Nick. Thanks for all the cool ideas, I just gotta find the time to make them. 😀

Those are great! Would love a post on how you separate the layers!

[danhalpert]

Great video. I'm interested in how to separate the layers in LightBurn or something like that. Thanks.

[timothyhenderson]

question can this method be used for portrait's if so could you do a vid for it

[CraigLafferty]

I"m thinking spray adhesives. There are different grades, but I have not done this before so I fee that there is something I'm missing.

[karlosp]

Great video, just wondering, whilst I realise this is all XTool based, do you think that this would also be possible with a Creality Falcon2?

[MesterulLup]

Any tutorial's on how to create the file using Photoshop?

[pauldziewit]

Can you share the link for where you got your mandala designs, in particular the eagle? Thanks! Great video.

Где можно посмотреть все эти изделия???

[joshduehr]

So essentially Intarsia, but with acrylic.

Thanks for the video! Great tip about the double sided tape! I am just about starting and was planning to use some wood glue but tape seems much better idea for larger projects. I am confused about the inability of diode lasers to cut acrylic sheets. I just got the printer from creality (diode 22w) and it has specifications for cutting and engraving acrylic sheets. So it possible on diodes? Thanks!

[arihantjain]

How can i design my own art ?
I am not a designer but i would like to know if its possible?

[if.i.dusse_somyself]

How do separate the layers in the design process?

[rickpouley]

Great information..
I just have a quick question about the double sided tape..
Does this add a large cost to your build?
Thanks..

[angrygaragemechanic]

Where'd you get the eagle design?

[FredSchmitthammer]

Getting layers to line up is very difficult. Any tips?
