Can A Diode Laser Engrave Clear Acrylic?? [YES, but not without this]

Have you ever tried to engrave clear acrylic with your diode laser with no luck? Well I've run a few tests and have managed to get a pretty good result within the first attempt.
Here I show the process the I used to allow my diode laser to actually engrave/ etch clear acrylic. It was fairly simple and the results are amazing.
So, watch the whole video and try it yourself. You will be amazed by the results. I Promise!

    Don't use acrylic as you have to remove it with alcohol or acetone, both of which can damage the acrylic.

    Ooh, I wonder what would happen if we painted both sides of the acrylic?

    You may want to see how even this does with edge lighting the acrylic. Even fine scratches are likely to scatter light, making the etch more visible, even without fillers.

    ive seen some where they put a metal sheet under and dont paint the acrylic and comes out, maybe worth doing a side by side to see which works better?
