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

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

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

What I needed

nice looking opaque colored plastic, however warps and bends when laser engraved and not suitable material. Probably good for other types of craft projects.

Tried several different settings on my laser and on the highest power. It just doesnt cut. Very disappointed. I will NOT be ordering these again.

Returned because the sheets were very small- read carefully at the dimensions there were other listings with larger dimensions

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.

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.
