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 sellers web description says 12 x 12 Plastic Sheet with 1/25 Inch Thickness but actual size of items I received was about 11-11/16 inch square, or 297.5mm in metric - well short of 12 inches. (See uploaded image.) The thickness was 1.0mm as measured with a digital caliper, which is close enough to 1/25 inch as described. Otherwise the acrylic sheets looked great, and arrived well packaged in bubble envelope inside a protective cardboard box. Im giving it 4 stars due to the inaccurate size descriptions.

I ordered the 12”x12” by 1/5” sheets. 1/5” was thicker than I needed however the next thickness down was not available as clear transparent. Delivery was fast and the packing excellent. Inside the Amazon box was another custom sized box, and the sheets were inside a padded sleeve too. Each sheet was covered on both sides with a protective film. These will not get damaged in shipping. If you are using these for cutting and shaping for your own projects you will be very happy. I was actually intending to use them as-is for display purposes and liked the well finished edges and rounded corners shown on the images in the Amazon description. However, in reality , the corners were not rounded and the cut edges had not been finished in any way. It’s hard to see in my pictures , but it is clearly different to the last two images in the advertising material, I am guessing they used a computer generated graphic rather than the real product and I felt it to be a bit misleading. The edges were an issue for my use case, but really the clarity and quality of the surfaces is more important for most use cases , hence 4 stars rather than any less.

Perfect acrylic sheets

Worked great with my laser cutter! I had to paint it with black acrylic to be able to cut it.

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

Great quality! Cuts great. Very shiny.

One of the biggest disappointments I found with my diode laser cutter (XTool D1 10 watt) was that it couldn’t cut clear acrylic - the beam just passes straight through. But that was offset by the fact that opaque colors were easily cut. These sheets are ideal for multiple uses, although I mainly use them to verify cut files before sending them out to a service bureau for cutting in metal. I find a cut speed of 2mm per second and 3 passes works great to cut completely through the material with my 10 watt laser. Engraving can be done much faster. This is superb material for use in lasers. The cut is extremely thin, allowing for very efficient usage. It is substantial enough for most uses, but lightweight and flexible. If you have a diode laser, this is the right material for you.

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.

Cuts well on my laser. Scratch protector sheet on both sides

This acrylic is much better than expected! :) Its a great thickness, great quality, arrived protected with no scratches, & is perfect for use in laser engravers & cricut type machines. Id definitely order again & recommend it to others crafters. :)
