Great video. I'm waiting on some mirrored acrylic to arrive. I did some tests on two tone (multi layered) acrylic samples. Unfortunately, you could see lines in the filled areas. Is it likely that I'm running it too slow/strong? Any suggestions would be very welcome
Hi , I love this video! If’s not too much to ask, where did you buy the mirror acrylic sheets?
Really good information.

I have a 50W and used your settings on mirrored acrylic, but not getting the same results. It seems to burn the edges and not cut through all the way. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Great question! Feel free to message Max here: instagram.com/laserbeastlab/. :)
Maybe your machine is not aligned!! Try doing the correct alignment, that’s happened with my machine
Did you figure it out? What was the problem. I'm having the same.
Can you autofocus from Lightburn?
I buy Houston acrylic too, I didnt know I could cut with the plastic cover on, omg does that protect it from getting the laser marks? 🙃

Good morning
I bought a Polar Omtech and
I would like to engrave first names with very fine writing on my gold acrylic which is 3mm thick,
what setting to make on lightburn?
Thanks for your help
Did you work out some good settings I can test? Recently bought a Polar but have mainly used it for cutting and hoping to try engraving again next week. I tried on some two tone acrylic but had lines in the filled parts. Maybe I ran it too slow/strong? Also, air assist on or off? Any help would be much appreciated
@@StePhillipsI just brought the laser manually closer to the plate

Hello, friend!
Could I do this by diod laser Atomstack x20 pro?

how do you cut without getting poor edges. The grey back gets slightly burnt and causes hazing on the clear side.
power 10 -15 mA, 2 pass, speed 12mms, slight air assist, what am i doing wrong
