Don't have a laser matic, but i have a blue 20w diode. What are your thoughts on this? From your previous video you made, it has me excited about working with acrylic. Definitely have liked and subscribed!!
@ValleyForged4 ай бұрын
Any Diode should work. You may have to run a few passes if depending on thickness etc...I would try one or two and see how it goes. Try to stick with ones Craft Closet says are diode ready.

Awesome thanks great idea. It is binding the material to the steal to make it durable?

I'm have trouble cutting transparent acrylic with my 10w diode laser , i've tried differant settings and adjustments and still can't cut ! Is my laser not strong enough ? I can paint the back side reverse the image then it comes out wonderful as a picture but still can't cut through it ! It will cut 6mm wood easy and 6mm opaque acrylic no problem nice clean edges buit transparent , frosted and glitter give me trouble !

As I said in the video, you cannot do transparent or mirror (even with a 50w diode). If that is what you want to do, a Co2 would be your laser.

So you can cut 1/8" acrylic with the 30 watt LaserMatic. Do you switch the engrave to 10 watt? Also, what do you set for the depth on the LaserMatic? Do the edges cut smoothly? Thanks.
@ValleyForged6 ай бұрын
I don't switch to use the 10w, the 30 works fine for me. Edges are good, somewhat like wood. Depth? I just use the gauge that comes with it. As I said in the video, 1/8 works great.

Thanks. I was going to buy the 20/10 LaserMatic, but might step up to the 30/10.

Whet settings do you use to cut the acrylic? And engrave? I have the same Roly. Even with masking I’m getting some burnt edges
@ValleyForged6 ай бұрын
Usually 300speed 100 power. I never go lower than that, so more passes if it does not work

@@ValleyForged my wecreat 20watt diode laser auto setting is speed 5mm for black acrylic but I want to use glitter acrylic. using 300 speed makes me nervous because it's so much faster than the auto setting of 5. I just want to make sure this would also apply to mine before I do it. thank you.
@ValleyForged6 ай бұрын
@@twofrozenbananas5922 You have to test to find settings for your laser. Try a small circle first. Also, I am guessing your settings are MM per Second, my settings are MM per Minute. The 5 might be correct, or at least closer to correct.
@twofrozenbananas59226 ай бұрын
oh okay, that seems to make sense I think my settings are mm/s. I have a question, do you have better luck with silver glitter acrylic that is masked? my acrylic does not have a mask on it so im assuming that's why its not cutting all the way through?
