The green acrylic looks so cool. It looks great even with the light off!

[@azyrox3272]

You’re awesome!!

[@LisaPottsDesigns]

This is awesome! Love how it's different from most LED signs I see.

[@TroytheMaker]

Thanks a Million! I just sub to your channel. I was sleeping on the new stamp feature. 👍🏾

Awesome!

This is so amazing! I'm making this! Thank you for your consistency and always being willing to share designs!

VERY cool and thank you for showing the details on the glue!! that was so helpful. My son is looking for a cool light up sign, so this was a great help in getting me started!!

[@TroytheMaker]

Glad it was helpful!

Your videos are awesome!!! I will be doing signs for husband’s gameroom bar and my coffee bar and want the signs to glow. Will be using this method. 😁

[@luismv7336]

Good job I’ve been looking for your video on that peace sign

Really awesome Troy. Gonna try something like this for sure.

[@TroytheMaker]

[@josephculbertson3555]

Thats soooooo cool Troy...Great Job

[@TroytheMaker]

Glad you like it!

[@davidb.2355]

Now that's what I'm talking about!! I was really wondering how that green acrylic was going to look like..thanks for showing that.. I ran into that problem with the glue also, so I sometimes use clear glossy tape on the edges to keep the acrylic together. Great Video! Thank you Troy!

[@TroytheMaker]

Thanks for the tip! I need to try some clear glossy tape.

[@get-uncomfortable7186]

Love this !!!!

[@ArmbrusterWoodshop]

Great video Troy

[@TroytheMaker]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@CC-Chr15]

Looks great. With the black acrylic you could even do an infinity mirror with a graphic in the middle, looking like it'd floating. Amazing job! :D

[@TroytheMaker]

I appreciate it! Thanks for the suggestion. ✍🏾

I made it it’s nice I’m going to make another one and I’m gonna give you a shout out and then have everybody come to your page if they want to see more projects that can be done on a glow Forge

[@egbertlewis5857]

That cool i would like to do one

[@TroytheMaker]

Go for it!

[@galicea02]

So cool!!! I just tried to make some acrylic game controller stands and used the acrylic liquid adhesive and omg it left drip marks and you could see where it adhered through the acrylic. So frustrating I wasted alot of colored acrylic. I guess I will try E6000 next time.

[@TroytheMaker]

Thanks a Million! I just got a tip about using some clear glossy tape. Never tried it, but will definitely experiment with it.

[@big_kapp4425]

Man I'm bout to stop putting my money in my merc and buy a lazer you killing it out here

[@TroytheMaker]

Haha. Don't do the Merc like that.

[@Lomaxmotorsports]

Hey Troy love the channel. Think about engraving the clear acrylic on the back next time so the front of the sign is smooth. Would have to mirror the writing but it comes out looking nicer.

[@epicetches4155]

Agreed. That’s how I do glass plates.

[@TroytheMaker]

Thanks for the tip! I have before. I be forgetting little tips and tricks from time to time.

[@ChrispyBraddah]

Great work Troy! The sign is amazing. Had a question for you about kerf. Do you make adjustments for kerf when taking your print to glow forge?

[@TroytheMaker]

No. I don’t do kerfs.

[@Webdevhamzabinzia]

Hey, your sign looks amazing. Great work. Just need to ask when you are laser engraving the work harder on transparent sheet how it looks white with black background? I didn't get that point. If you clear me this would be really appreciated

[@TroytheMaker]

When engraving on clear acrylic it looks white through the screen but it is really a frost color.

[@beehr4468]

I emailed you Great video !!!

[@MsDeejr]

Troy thank you for sharing! Love your work! Do your sell your files?

I want to make replica of my badges can you show how to do that.

[@gresev2588]

Great video, Troy! Quick question: Which version of CorelDraw 2020 do you use? The CorelDRAW Standard 2020 version? Thanks again for your videos!

[@TroytheMaker]

Coreldraw 2020 full version, but subscription base.

[@DiscoverRajivVlogs]

Subbed...

[@kevinyayza69]

Omg! Someone ordered me one exactly like this but not sure how much to charge, how much would you charge Mr. Troy? And thank you so much for the tutorial it is so helpful!

[@TroytheMaker]

Thanks. Depends on the designing process and size, but starting at $75

[@Xiao_PP]

Cleveland looks different IRL

[@joanm_86]

Hi, this is awesome job! whats type of glue you recommend for acrylic?

[@TroytheMaker]

I use acrylic solvent amzn.to/38ZWNL8 and E6000 amzn.to/3eYxb55

[@Eclipseman2001]

What do you do to avoid the edges on acrylics cracking when you cut it with the laser?

[@jasonivy4435]

Do you have to use the black back piece behind the clear acrylic? Or Can You Just Use The Clear Acrylic?

[@TroytheMaker]

No, you do not have to use a black acrylic back. I just wanted it to shine as bright as possible.

[@tinabrown4786]

I have a question. Why add additional black background to the clear. Since the box is black why do you need to back the clear with black? Seems the clear with out the black background would be sufficient. Thanks for the idea. I will try it.

[@TroytheMaker]

Thanks. I added the black background to make it the thickness to slide inside without flopping around.

[@tinabrown4786]

@@TroytheMaker ohhh okay... hmmm. I think I will try it a little different. I will let you know how it comes out LOL...

[@blucreatemolds2204]

What if you did the black on the front and cut it and then clear backing so the light only shines in the letters?

[@TroytheMaker]

Dope idea! I love it!

[@nicholevillanueva7639]

Would the concept be the same for a wood frame with acrylic?

[@TroytheMaker]

Yes and probably look better. I just like acrylic.
