Cutting Acrylic with XTOOL M1 

Same. I wanted to make my own scrylic standees but looks like you need a printer that prints on the acrylic and a laser cutter... I wish I was rich

Wow how exciting! Yea the diode laser still can’t cut clear even with the paper masking on it.

@@AmyMade Oh that’s so weird. I would think it could since it’s brown but I don’t have a diode so I’m completely unfamiliar. ❤️ I’m going to be offering acrylic blanks in my shop soon, I can’t wait!! Also blank wood kits. Currently, I only sell the SVG for my files. I’m excited to expand my little business! ❤️

Yea the diode laser goes right through transparent material without cutting. However you can engrave if you put a layer of marking tape or dark paint on it

You can cut Acrylic through the paper but sometimes the paper gets difficult to get off the Acrylic easily, especially if the Acrylic is is old or not freshly made. The paper will keep the Acrylic from attracting the smoke and then having to clean it off. A 100 watt CO2 laser or fiber optic l;aser shouls cut acrylic easily. The cover paper adhesive gets very difficult to remove with periods of storage time. Years ago I used to able to get scrap Acrylic pieces of sheet of various thickness and sizes and colors from a local supplier for our local high shop class students for projects, just for the asking! Now there are no more high school shop classes, just another sign how bad our education system has gotten, no shop, no home economics and sometimes no art or music classes either. Amazing how sports (the most useless of extra curricular activities for most kids) always survives and of all those others just disappear often. Sad!!

@@johnkemas7344 That’s what I was thinking too but only owning CO2 lasers, I wasn’t sure. I figured the paper may make a difference but again, wasn’t sure. The paper is hard to get off no matter how old it is lol 😂 I’m always struggling 🤦🏼‍♀️ I love using acrylic for a lot of my projects. I use white a lot for my keychains and sublimate on it! I agree about shop classes in schools. I was just talking about that the other day, about how I’d always find my boyfriend fixing his car in auto shop during lunch! Bring back the shop classes! Teach kid’s responsibilities, every day life stuff! ☺️

I used the 3mm xtool acrylic sheet!

Absolutely not , I tried and failed lol

Thank you, I got the ouyzgia brand 300x300. A standard kitchen aluminum foil was used to protect the base plate.

Many thanks Amy, I’ve just placed an order on Amazon for the exact same honeycomb laser bed that you have & at a reasonable price of £40.99, including an aluminium protection plate, so really happy. Regards Jeff

Unfortunately no. That’s just not how diode laser works

@@AmyMade ah ok tysm.

No. Only solid red, yellow green brown and black

To prevent burning

Hi, if I use paper over gold acrylic, it will work ?

I got the M1 xtool. I bought some arcylic wood but it did not cut through. What I doing wrong?
