You can not! It has a diode laser. The diode laser has some limited capabilities but a lot of people cut wood and paint it white! I know its not a solution for clear, but just a suggestion that could be an option for your plans!
Thank you so much for your video. I went to TH-cam and search for videos comparing these two machines, honestly I like yours, the best so far since you went into a little bit more detail than some of the other crafters. I’m going to follow your channel now, after watching this video! I just started my business last year and I’ve been trying to decide between these two machines.
Hi!! No, the spark does not cut mirror acrylic due to the diode laser. I’m not 100% about the glitter acrylics. Check out Houston Acrylics they have a diode laser tested section that works with Glowforge Aura and Spark
finally one that can fit in my NYC apartment lol
Do anyone know if you can cut glass on the aura???

I would 💯 get the Aura, because of the feeder!
I love having that option as well!
Which machine would you get?!?!
Thanks for the comparison. I saw the spark on-line, but after seeing your video, I think the Aura might be a better fit for me.
Thank you for watching! I’m so glad the video was helpful! 😍
It’s a difficult decision! Great job!! 🙌🏾
It definitely is, but both are great! ❤❤

Thank you!!! 😍😍 Also congrats on your business!
Can you engrave stainless steel with the Aura like tumblers?
Hii, no, the tray is narrow so it can’t engrave cups or tumblers!
Thanks for the video. I'm going to get the aura
😍😍🤗🤗 i’m excited for you!
Hi I am new to laser and engraving which 1 can cut acrylic?
Both machines can cut acrylic but only cut certain colors! Be sure to check out which colors here:

What size acrylic does the spark use?
The spark can fit the 12x12 sheets in it but it won’t cut the full sheet. The max cutting area is 8.5 x 11!
I love your video!
If I would like to engrave pelcil, can I use the spark?
Yes! I engraved pencils and created a pencil jog with this machine. Works perfectly!

I have the spark I would like to know if I can use any Glitter or mirror acrylic?
