I have cut orange transparent Acryl mean wir 90% 100mm 5 times, and have a really sharp cutting with air Assistent. And the reason, why you can cut any material an any not is the interaction from the light frequency of the Diode laser, wirth the colour of the material. If you have a resistance, you get temperature and you can cut. Everyone who work with a Diode Laser should this know.

I think you need to use a CO2 laser to cut white acrylic. I think it’s more to do with the wavelength rather than the power

Ah, the magic of KZread pause/screen capture/zoom makes for zoomed in clear views. 😂

This video is an excellent resource! I have a specific project I'm working on. I am making a control panel out of black acrylic. I'm leaving the paper on because I am using it as a stencil for a company logo. The laser will only cut through the paper.. Once it's finished, I will peel various portions of the logo and paint it different colors. I've never tried it before, so I hope it works! Thanks!

Is there a reason you don't paint the inside of your enclosure? I painted mine flat black and I get no reflection please let me know if I did something I shouldn't have😁

Have you tried cutting/engraving any glitter acrylic?

Hope you don’t mind but I’m thinking of coming to Clanton to see you in November to see your event set up if that’s OK. I’m just about ready to start Production. Faster than I thought considering I’ve had my Comgrow Diode 6-7 weeks and 8-10 days for the CO2.

Is the focus jig available in the esty store? Will the jig sets work with the comgrow z1?

Hey, I have a 5 watt optical power diode laser, trying to cut acrylic with it but it just melts the edges .. suggestions? I have the acrylic pretty darm close to the laser cover, less than a 1 mm gab.

Camera looks very good on my 27" monitor - opened up to full screen. Hope that helps.

Best description about cutting and engraving acrylic. Thanks

Bro - you’re video are EXCELLENT - and your honest advice is PRICELESS !!! MAD PROPS TO YA !!

Hi, I came over from Chestnut Hills Farm. I didn’t know that some of your videos would mess with my epilepsy. This breaks my heart, as I love seeing things made, from people who are passionate about their art.

Don’t sweat it! Most, if not all, of us trust you! I know I do.

Camera, awesome quality improvement! 👍

Here! Loving your channel!

I had that same crackling sound when I did a lighted piece of clear Acrylic. I was told it is actually cracking the acrylic during the engraving due to too high of either the slowness of the cut or the power of the cut. With mine I got burnt spots too. I was using black tempura paint to get the engrave.

Camera works great!

I’m not use to working in mm/sec , I did mm/m but tried your way and it seems to go a bit faster ! On my black 3mm I went with 3@75 , 4@80 and 33@75 and it cut great ! I should make more patterns for keychains, I have 2 now ! Lol

Another GREAT video. Yes, would like the link if you can find it and use it to help you and the channel. Thanks!
