Make a Curved Text Acrylic Cake Topper

[@olgab19]

You have no idea how much you’ve saved me. I’ve been looking for these videos alllllk week

[@MonkeyWoodworks]

Glad it was helpful!

[@olgab19]

I hit a big wall. Inkscape won’t let me edit the font. It looks like the background is extremely small and I can’t make it bigger

Super quick, easy to understand tutorial - Perfect, Thank YOU!

[@MonkeyWoodworks]

Awesome! BTW, the latest version of XCS now offers a way to curve your text directly in XCS!

[@andyanand9459]

Happy Birthday to your Loving Dad. As Always thank you ever so much for the useful Tutorial. Fabulous Job!

[@MonkeyWoodworks]

Thank you so much for the kind words and the well wishes!

[@karenbusby709]

Thank you for the video, always learning from them! Happy Birthday to your dad!!

[@MonkeyWoodworks]

Your welcome and thank you!

I use the same two programs to help make projects. XCS does now offer the ability to curve text, which is really nice. Simplifies quite a bit. Additionaly, Absolute coordinates is also now available, ( I haven't mastered the spoilboard, but workin on it).

[@MonkeyWoodworks]

The XCS updates have been great! The text curve and weld features have been game changers.

Thanks for the video Michael. I have not attempted acrylic yet with the M1. Could you let me know your supplier and the settings you used. 12:39

[@MonkeyWoodworks]

The acrylic I use is listed in the description of the video. The M1 settings used are the default settings in XCS for black acrylic. I used the same settings in my first acrylic video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZK9op54rrCXeNU

@@MonkeyWoodworks Hmmm I obviously did read all that I should have. Thanks for letting me know.

Can you cut mirror gold acrylic with the m1? how many passes did this do?

[@MonkeyWoodworks]

I cut black acrylic on my M1 with 1 pass. To my knowledge, you can not cut mirrored acrylic because it is basically clear acrylic with a mirrored backing.

[@cd6941]

Thanks for the video..can you cut the acrylic with the blade instead of using laser ? I have the x tool m1

[@MonkeyWoodworks]

I don't think so. I'd check the xtool website to see what you can cut with the blade.

[@cd6941]

@@MonkeyWoodworks thanks! I will check.

[@tetenana2986]

I have been trying to cut with arcrylic but no success the sheet keep It keep burning

[@MonkeyWoodworks]

What color are you trying to cut?

[@fredthegreg]

I watched your other video when you painted the wine glass, would that work with clear acrylic? Or only for engraving. And how about blue painters tape instead of paint?

[@MonkeyWoodworks]

I have a video in my M1 playlist showing how to etch clear acrylic. I have not tried the blue painter's tape method.

[@fearlessbeauty119]

Which font is that?

[@MonkeyWoodworks]

I believe it is called Caprica Script (free for personal use)
