Black Opaque Glossy Acrylic Sheets, 12 x 12 Plastic Sheet with 1/8 Inch Thickness, 3-Piece Black Opaque Acrylic Blanks for Laser Cutting & Engraving Home Decor, Wall Decor

The xTool black acrylic is a thin, very translucent plastic sheet. It is 1 mm thick and slightly under 11 3/4 square (297 mm) for the sides. The sheets and thin, but semi-rigid. Theyre more of a smoky gray than black. It is highly translucent, and you can clearly see details behind it almost as if it was as colorless piece of acrylic. There is a high degree of light transmittance, and it is not as dark as most of the ad pictures, perhaps closer to the second picture that shows a light gray. While that is not ideal for diode lasers, the thinness of the acrylic and the even dark coloration allows it to be cut at higher diode power outputs. This works great for decorative art pieces, stencils, building models, etc... but if you plan on making a structural part such as gears, you could cut identical pieces and layer them together at the cost of losing translucency. Overall, it is a thin acrylic. It is very clear, and the color is a lot lighter than expected but it is laser cuttable both by diode and CO2.

I used these and some red ones like them to build dividing walls under my cabinets so the under sink chemicals werent open to the pots and pans under the countertop. I cut them to size and glued them together and was able to get a nice finished product so Im happy.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this. I was able to cut it quite easily with my laser cutter. It was a nice clean cut and made my product work very well. I wish I had taken pictures of the keychains that I made. The cuts were clean and looked great!

Works perfectly with the D1 Pro 20 watt XTool Great quality, with wonderful results (my projects were gifted before I remembered to take pictures, but everything turned out great!

Comes well packaged. Has film facing both sides. Color is exactly what I expected.

I wasnt sold on the prospect of acrylic this thin being used ed with my diode laser, but the listing and instructions seemed to think otherwise... After ruining more than a few sheets with warping using both the recommended speed from the manufacturer, and trying faster cuts with more passes, Ive ended up with nothing more than piles of scraps. Incant really blame the material, as acrylic usually warps with increasing thermal loads; but again, its strange theyd advertise it for use in such a case. For other projects this seems a perfectly suitable acrylic, and the price is comperable to others here - Id just avoid lasers.

Works great with xtool easy to handle

So, Ive used a few different XTool materials on my Xtool D1 Pro and this one is high quality just like the other ones that they make. The sheets are packed well, come paper covered to protect them from damage until you cut them and are great. However, many XTool customers probably have their blue light diode lasers and not one of their larger tube lasers. If you have the diode laser, you WILL NOT be able to cut this acrylic, at least not at 10W or lower. I HIGHLY doubt that the 20W can cut this either, but I dont have one to test with. XTool just announced a 40W that maybe could cut this, but again, I have my doubts and no way to test (though it would be great is XTool would do the test and let us all know - or if they want me to do the test just send me a 40W ;D ) The 10W diode WAS able to put a light engrave on the frosted since there is enough interaction to melt the plastic a little bit. I would assume the 20W and 40W would be able to engrave more deeply, but again, I couldnt test it as all I have is the 10W. If youve got a laser rated to cut CLEAR acrylic, you should be able to cut this frosted acrylic. But if your laser says no clear acrylic, this one, despite being frosted, probably isnt going to work either.

Ordered new to avoid scratches and this. But received someone’s previously failed cut acrylic.

I got this for laser cutter projects. The yellow is a nice color and the material came well packaged in a box with a bubble-wrap bag inside around the acrylic. Each sheet has brown masking material. Cant bet this for your laser projects under 12 -- I prefer cast acrylic and it cuts very nicely. My only constructive feedback would be that it would be nice if this vendor would offer more colors.
