I absolutely love the fact that you included all the times you messed it up. I appreaciate that more than anything else. I learn A LOT about things to prevent.
Just wanted to say thanks for the channel... Seems like every time I'm trying to figure something new out you've got a fun and informative trial and error video to answer lots of my questions. Dipping my toes into the smelly world of acrylic now so this vid has been massively helpful
The video should be titled "How to make a balls of it, but with extra steps"! I enjoyed the Warts'n'all approach, mistakes provide powerful lessons. The Logo disk at the end looks brilliant.
Love the acrylic cut, especially the red engrave. I recently brought the creality 10w laser cutter and failed very badly with my acrylic project. Seeing this has given me hope to try again, I'll be trying to mirror some otlf those settings! Sadly creality have the worst customer service and after care so that linked cut info is very valuable
Ok its official, you made me buy a new shop toy! Thank you! Hopefully its pretty easy for a guy to pick up as a virgin laser user. Can't wait to see what we can do with this thing. I appreciate your videos brother and look forward to learning a lot from here and other places of the same topic.
It is good to see that your exercise equipment is getting used! rofl. It would be really cool to do a layered acrylic piece with LEDs between the layers so you can see each layer clearly. It might improve the piece and the depth effect to have spacers between the layers too. Maybe 3 mm between each layer might make the whole thing cooler. Guess I need to get with it and try some acrylic stuff!
I'm REALLY thinking about getting a laser cutting machine and have been watching videos to learn and I really enjoyed yours. You're very entertaining and fun. This XTool brand seems to be pretty popular and I've read some good reviews on sites that did comparisons.
Do you mean clear or clean? A diode laser cannot cut clear acrylic. If you are talking about "clean" engravings and cuts on darker acrylic I would have you reference this for power and speed: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/664971419506966538/943584320055025744/Material_settings_file_for_xtool_material.pdf Cheers!
if you want to cut, you can try to focus the laser on the surface of honeycomb than on the top of the acrylic. Works well for me - I'm using ortur laser master 2. 100 speed 70% power 2 passes
Hey love your videos. I just got my Xtool and without your vids it would still be in the box. can you send a link for the material report list. I cant find it. Thanks in advance
I watched your video but I am getting completely different results with cutting and engraving. I can cut in one pass at only 80 power but when I tried to engrave at 30 power like you did, mine is very, very faint. But when I go up in power, it’s just blurry. I’m not able to get the pretty white engrave that you got no matter what I try. And I’ve been trying for 7 hours now!
Thank you for another informative video, appreciated. On an unrelated topic, I have watched two of your videos on tumblers, in one of them you mentioned the use of Dry Molly to be wiped off with lacquer thinner, then I used alcohol and it works, to later find out that water works just fine and perhaps a little better. I drenched a magic eraser with water and rubbed a little hard few times and then voilà, it comes out right off without much of dirt, almost like a film leaving very little dirt as it does lacquer to rinse behind. Have learn from you so this is just a little contribution from my part, I hope. Thanks again.
Hi! I have the M1 I know it’s not exactly the same machine but I really want to engrave acrylic.. I’m in a debate of whether the acrylic needs to be covered/protected in anything?? Or can I engrave directly to the acrylic?! Lol it’s the acrylic that came with the machine when I bought it
I returned recently my xtool 20w pro. It didn’t cut colour acrylic and tried so many times to get the engraving to work also. The smell of acrylic burning is so toxic it gave me a headache. I had to sometimes run a 5 pass to get it to cut the 3mm acrylic and you could really see and smell the burnt melted acrylic. Might be an ok machine but definitely not for cutting and engraving acrylic.
Thanks for your videos...I just got my x1...I am in the garage no windows, but I let the door up. I am in the south so it's hot...my cuts keep melting badly bubbling...what am I doing wrong?
I dont garage, does this type of material cutting make very bad smells to do inside a room of a home? Would an extractor of some kind be needed? Thanks in advance.👍

Could you recommend me a good “fairly cheap” laser to cut acrylic with? I have a super cheap $150 machine that cuts wood fine, but it doesn’t do anything for acrylic. “Unless I’m doing something wrong setting wise”
If you want to cut all colors of acrylic you really need to invest in a CO2. I think xTool has one of the cheapest CO2s on the market: www.xtool.com/products/xtool-p2-55w-co2-laser-cutter?ref=RyzFeVwU5QGEQ& But it's still gonna run you about $5K

Where…how…when do you use those magnets? I know this is an old video and the link to the Amazon magnets aren’t available, but do you have more info for them for me to search?
Make sure to buy the N52 magnets in a thin thickness. I use them up close to the cut line and they are thin enough to prevent the laser head from hitting them.... These powerful magnets are your best friend as long as you don't inadvertently try to let the laser beam hit them. I have heard that the laser heat hitting a magnet will/would be dangerous - some call it a "rapid unexpected disassembly" 🙂
Another awesome video, entertaining and educational as always! I'm really digging how well those acrylic cuts went and the logo (also that shirts hilarious). Thanks for the great content!
I have a quick question, can you cut clear acrylic with the XTool D1? I just tried and it did nothing to the acrylic. I know there is something about colors of the laser as well as the acrylic, but I just don't know. Still learning.
@Build Dad Build before I go waste more money on acrylic, it can't cut cut blue either, right? I want to say thank you for the help you give everyone. It keeps me using my laser and not getting discouraged.
Hi Nick, I have a question, perhaps, out of context of the video. Have you ever cut black adhesive with your xTool D1 10watt? If so, what settings did you use to cut the first (sticky) layer of the adhesive? Thanks
This changes so much that I've heard. I read that you could only cut black acrylic with a blue diode laser!? I love working with acrylic anyway for so many things and I've got the Atomstack X7 10w so I'll definitely be giving it a whirl.

Hey, love your videos, so much to learn. Can you post a new link for the magnets you purchased. The one in the description is not working anymore.
Can you try plyglass and the xtool I’m curious if it burned or just engrave with material
You can engrave on plexiglass with a transfer agent similar to acrylic.
You can not cut clear plexiglass with a diode laser.
Cheers
So no discoloration or burn with xtool.
Someone wants something added to there plexiglass then want to use a light strip to show it off
Do you think you could do clean acrylic work (earrings, etc) using the 5w D1 instead of the 10w?

Sounds like you may have a focus issue. Try running speed and power and see what settings look best.
basic. depends on type of acrylic for a good engrave. Cast or extruded. Cast for myself seems to work best.

It only cuts certain colors. And you have to use cast acrylic or it will melt instead of cut.
Any recommendations on if something like this would work on a acrylic/plastic tumbler? Or what might work on them? Thanks and love the videos.
I'm honestly not sure. I'd have to run tests.

What about the smokes? You don't have any ventilation, isn't it bad to breath these fumes?
Yes. It is bad to breath smoke.

You've got to dial in your settings. You're either going to slow or using too much power, or both.

Awesome!! I just got a bunch of acrylic to to try perfect timing for this vid!!
Sweet!!
Why my sculpfun s30 pro can't even a tach some milky white acrylics, is it some special acrylics or what?
Diode lasers only work on dark colored acrylics.
I dont garage, does this type of material cutting make very bad smells to do inside a room of a home? Would an extractor of some kind be needed? Thanks in advance.👍
Yes you need to use a smoke extractor.
I have the Xtool D1 Pro 20W laser. I'm trying to engrave on acrylic. Could I also do 30% power at 55 mm/s? Or should I adjust it a bit?
You need to run a speed and power grid and determine the best settings for your laser.
@@BuildDadBuild That’s what I figured. 😅 Does Xtool have one of those on their site or do I need to find one?
@@KingersWorld www.o2creative.co.nz/laser/lightburn_basic_generator.php
