XLNT TECH 10 Pieces & 10 Colors Cast Acrylic Opaque (no-Transparent) Plastic Sheet 8 x 8 Inch (.118 Thick), for Signs, DIY Projects.

A great way to get your feet wet with acrylic for laser cutting. Easy to work with, cuts well. Havent tried etching yet but it seems thick and sturdy enough to etch well. Not a great value for larger projects or production, but an affordable way to get several colors to try.

All the other colors absorb light so you have to use a coating to etch and even then it has bad lines

Do not use with diode laser. Does not cut, just melts.

What I needed

Just what I wanted, OK

This was my first time using this type of product so I’m not a pro but it worked well with a beginner on the glowforge so it has to be a pretty solid choice.

If you are planning on cutting this acrylic with a Diode Laser, you are in for disappointment. I have a Congrow 20 W module on an OM3 laser, and it had a great deal of trouble cutting through these sheets. The black cuts like butter in one pass but the other colors need some tweaking. I set my laser at 100 speed and 100 power. Some colors cut in 2 passes and some others in more. You end up with a ruined piece of acrylic. This is the second time I order these sheets; I returned the first time because at the time I had the 10W module that comes with my OM3 and it did not cut at all. I was expecting the Congrow to do the trick but Nah. Is not worth it and this material in not cheap. Best bet is to go with Extruded acrylic as opposed to cast acrylic.

Great assortment of colors at a reasonable price. They cut perfectly in my 30w Co2 laser. 55 power 4 speed and 1 pass. :) I will be buying again!

Product is good quality but title size is NOT accurate Actual size is 200mm x 200mm NOT 8”x8”

Great starter pack for learning how to work with acrylic before investing in large pieces. Cuts beautifully with Glowforge (155/Full)
