I hit a big wall. Inkscape won’t let me edit the font. It looks like the background is extremely small and I can’t make it bigger
I use the same two programs to help make projects. XCS does now offer the ability to curve text, which is really nice. Simplifies quite a bit. Additionaly, Absolute coordinates is also now available, ( I haven't mastered the spoilboard, but workin on it).

The XCS updates have been great! The text curve and weld features have been game changers.
Can you cut mirror gold acrylic with the m1? how many passes did this do?
@MonkeyWoodworks

I cut black acrylic on my M1 with 1 pass. To my knowledge, you can not cut mirrored acrylic because it is basically clear acrylic with a mirrored backing.
I watched your other video when you painted the wine glass, would that work with clear acrylic? Or only for engraving. And how about blue painters tape instead of paint?

I have a video in my M1 playlist showing how to etch clear acrylic. I have not tried the blue painter's tape method.
Thanks for the video..can you cut the acrylic with the blade instead of using laser ? I have the x tool m1

I don't think so. I'd check the xtool website to see what you can cut with the blade.

The acrylic I use is listed in the description of the video. The M1 settings used are the default settings in XCS for black acrylic. I used the same settings in my first acrylic video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fZWO0817qa7KctY.html
