    If you plan to make a lot of acrylic signs, get a car polisher. I go over mine when done and you can get all the scratches out very quickly, even pretty deep ones if you are patient enough.

    Whatever I do it engraves at laser Tree 10W recommend 6000 speed and 40% in the acrylic lights acrylic but not enough to show up when the light is turned on, Does the thing only work it total darkness?, the acrylic is a very tight fit into the black box so not sure it goes all the way in. using poster paint black on the top surface placed on a metal grid. any suggestion welcomed

    • @LaserNoob
      @LaserNoob  5 місяців тому

      The acrylic should be snug. But it will really only be best in total darkness. I don't use a laser tree so I can't help with the settings. I also run everything in MM/SEC so speeds settings are very different.

    • @LaserNoob
      @LaserNoob  Рік тому +1

      Just water. The scratches came from 2 things. Using paper towels which is a no-no. And #2 Stacking them on top of each other. Another no-no.

    Did u take the protective cover off before using the marker or leave it on and marker over it?
    Also can you engrave a photo? Aka, something not so simple.
    I can engrave your design with my 1.6 watt snapmaker laser but can't seem to get photos to engrave (they engrave but look like a big blob and not an actual photo).
    Btw, Snapmaker 2.0 is 1.6 watt at 40 mm/sec and 100% power for basic engraving for anyone with one.

      I don't really use GRBL, but I did take a look at it. Mine has the 3 zeros after the decimal as well. But I also have decimal spaces in Lightburn as too.

    On acrylic do you have a problem with scratching?

    • @LaserNoob
      @LaserNoob  2 роки тому

      Yes! I always leave the protective film on the uncoated side until I'm ready to etch it. Then clean it with a very soft cotton cloth. Even paper towels will scratch acrylic. After your done etching, I suggest putting them in a soft protective sleeve. Personally, I use transfer tape. But I have a ton of that on hand for when I work with vinyl.

  • @barrymaxwell9008
    @barrymaxwell9008 8 місяців тому

    Not sure if you cover this in your follow-up video, but I think you focused on the top of the acrylic instead on the surface that you are actually engraving (the bottom). You should actually focus on the card underneath. This assumes that the painted/coated surface was the bottom, not the top. Also, isopropyl alcohol will damage the acrylic, causing crazing.

      @michaelkeymont501 2 роки тому

      The answer is ALWAYS to try both ways and learn from whichever one was a “failure”. You’ll spend more time thinking about it than simply doing it would take.
      That said, I just did something similar, but it was on wood, and I engraved directly onto/through the black spray paint that I covered the board with. It smelled a little, but not too bad. The laser pretty much completely burned the paint away, along with a little bit of the surface of the wood, leaving just wood underneath. I think it would work similar to acrylic. The paint just serves to be something for the laser to hit instead of passing through. When it hits the paint, or marker or whatever, it causes the heat/fire to occur on the material, which leaves a mark.

      @@LaserNoob hi you said this took you 20 minutes, well I followed your steps and no way does it take 20 minutes. at a speed of 40. definitely no way after an hour of etching I cancelled the job and decided engraving on acrylic is to time consuming. i didn't even get to half way in the spiderman text. i did a canvas the other day at a speed of 2000 and power 15 and the took 7 hours. this acrylic I was doing would have at least took 14 hours plus. unless you showing an unedited video that the design you did was 20 minutes and then I apologise for doubting you. and I am using an xtool d1 10w pro and just because of the slow time for doing acrylic I went straight online to buy and research a co2 laser. 20 minutes, hmmm. that remains to be seen.

    Disclaimer I'm no expert . I found for clear frosted marking on clear materials glass/acrylic you can use Montana chalk paint. Spary it on and run your engraving over it 100% power and 1500-2000mm/min. For acrylic you want less power I use 80%. Edit I used A 10w diode laser btw.
