I use the LED in a zigzag pattern directly behind the acrylic, and use baking parchment paper as a diffuser. You only need 1/4 to 1/2” of space to break up the individual diodes, and it handles high heat
Have you ever tried sanding the perimeter of the acrylic, except for the bottom. It encases the light within the piece. I do that on Al my bottom light signs.
This is awesome! I purchased a P2 specifically for this reason after I dove into 3D printing and realized how hard it is to get clean lines to shine light through. Hoping Acrylic solves this issue. Definitely subscribing. Make more of this:)
Very informative. Just like you I got my P2 a few weeks ago and even though I have a strong understanding of CNC I'm finding that there is a whole new learning curve with Lasers. :). This week was learning acrylic also. Thanks for posting your work ! Scott
I’d love to see some acrylic ideas for the F1 and F1 Ultra
Lemme see what I can come up with!

Very good tip! Going to try that out!
Well thought out presentation with a boat load of detail. It’s clear that you researched and tested it before putting it all together. 👍👍
Thanks very much. Appreciate it!

Oh cool thank you! Yea there’s a world of fun with acrylics!
Beware of heat creep with LED strips with dense diodes
Good advice!
The science of crafting. Love your channel brother
Thank you! Cheers!
