👍👍👍 A big help, thank you. I've been trying to find this for quite a while. Why XTool can't or won't provide this in their information is a mystery to me. Thanks for sharing!
You’re very welcome glad you enjoyed the video I really enjoy engraving and cutting this acrylic. I have a bunch more ideas that I will use this materials for. They make great Christmas ornaments check out my DesignFind projects ❌🔥
For my first engraving project I tried to do an inverted black and white photo on black granite. I gave up after many tests as the white portions were very dull. Do you think engraving on black acrylic would be easier with better results? It looks like your white areas were more vibrant than I was able to get on granite. I have 20 watt XTOOL D1. Thanks!
Just make sure you have the letter on engrave not score or cut and your all good they should show up blue in XCS then dark right before you start project.
I used XCS settings for 3mm Black Acrylic and slowed the speed down a bit more so 💯 power and 3mms. The edge are very clean I cut out the shape of Nova Scotia with a lot of very fine cuts
Great video! You've got a new subscriber from the other side of the pond 😊

How about auto-measure? Did you made any config with the riser?
I don’t have my riser installed just yet.
I added text from xcs to my design, do I have to invert the text to engrave as well? Because there is no option to do this on xcs.

Couldn’t you cut and engrave on the same job?
Yes always engrave then cut on same job, I had forgot to and was able to after thankfully
Could you please send me a link to where you bought this black acrylic?
I just updated the video info.
Here’s the link 🔗 ca.xtool.com/products/1-8-black-opaque-glossy-acrylic-sheet3pcs?_pos=1&_psq=Black&_ss=e&_v=1.0
Why does that look way faster than 200mm/s?
The video is not sped up in anyway. It does look quick using XCS settings.
What were your cut settings on the black? What did the cut edge look like?

Hi, I can't engrave aluminum and brass....could you help me? thanks
For those kinda of materials I suggest upgrading your laser module so IR. With the S1 the module can easily be swapped out for your needs and projects
Engraving settings?
XCS 3mm Black Acrylic Engrave Settings Are : 40% Power & 200mms
