XLNT TECH 10 Pieces & 10 Colors Cast Acrylic Opaque (no-Transparent) Plastic Sheet 8 x 8 Inch (.118 Thick), for Signs, DIY Projects.

Great starter pack for learning how to work with acrylic before investing in large pieces. Cuts beautifully with Glowforge (155/Full)

My application for this material was as a cabinet faceplate for an electronics project. I have found a lot of information online about using a diode laser to cut acrylic plastic, much of it contradictory. I used a Sculpfun S9 laser cutter/engraver with 455nm (visible), 5.5W diode laser and Lightburn software. I conducted a series of tests using this opaque, 118 XLNT assortment to determine which colors were suitable for laser cutting. I found that the Black, Yellow and Dark (Kelly) Green were most easily and quickly cut (50% power. 60mm/min, 4 passes). The Vermillion, Red and Light Green colors could be cut with a little more power (79% power, 60mm/min, 4 passes). As can be seen in the photo, there is a little dimpling around the openings, but this might be reduced by further optimization. However, I was unable to cut the Orange, Light Blue or Dark Blue acrylic sheets. It looked to me as if for those colors, the dye in the plastic turned white when hit with the laser.

Product is good quality but title size is NOT accurate Actual size is 200mm x 200mm NOT 8”x8”

Paid about $37 for these. That is 10 8x8 sheets of cast acrylic / lucite squares. Now, you are limited when it comes to color, but my Mira 7 does great with it. They pieces are already covered on both sides and my laser handles it well. Also, the outer sheets do not leave a gummy residue as some acrylic sheets do after using in the laser. I would definitely buy these again.

All the other colors absorb light so you have to use a coating to etch and even then it has bad lines

Returned because the sheets were very small- read carefully at the dimensions there were other listings with larger dimensions

Great assortment of colors at a reasonable price. They cut perfectly in my 30w Co2 laser. 55 power 4 speed and 1 pass. :) I will be buying again!

Tried several different settings on my laser and on the highest power. It just doesnt cut. Very disappointed. I will NOT be ordering these again.

Love the color variety and all pieces were packaged well and arrived in great condition. Using for craft projects with my glowforge and the acrylic has cut beautifully with the laser. Will purchase again

nice looking opaque colored plastic, however warps and bends when laser engraved and not suitable material. Probably good for other types of craft projects.
