> 24 hourThese are not clear FYI, but in case you are looking for a clear see through panel. If you are looking for one that has a foggy look to it then these are for you. Remember it has two plastic coverings you will want to remove.

> 24 hourI used these and some red ones like them to build dividing walls under my cabinets so the under sink chemicals werent open to the pots and pans under the countertop. I cut them to size and glued them together and was able to get a nice finished product so Im happy.

> 24 hourLike the other XTool acrylic Ive ordered, this came well-packaged (cardboard, bubble wrap inside) and all of the pieces were flat and chip-free. It cuts well. Not sure if I like the etching on black - doesnt really stand out - but this is a problem with all colored acrylic. Unlike the clear that I ordered (which had plastic film on one side, paper on the other), these had plastic film on both sides. I prefer paper, since its one less layer of plastic to melt and I find it easier to remove after cutting, but this is a minor problem. I used it to make some control panels - the holes and slots cut perfectly for switches, lights, etc. The etched labels didnt work so well - Ill have to figure out something else there. One advantage over cheap acrylic is that the odor is significantly less - I can actually open the compartment a minute after cutting without feeling like I was going to get knocked out. All in all, perfect for laser cutting on my K40 - Ill upload photos of etching after I get some results that I like.

> 24 hourThese acrylic sheets work really well with my Glowforge! I just used the Glowforge settings for the medium clear acrylic and it worked just fine. These sheets did come with cut and engrave recommended settings which was nice, but it was easier for me to just use GF settings. These sheets are masked on both sides, though it isnt easy to tell right away as only one side is masked with the usual brown paper type of masking tape and the other is masked with a clear film that is pretty difficult to remove. It does come off with some picking though so dont give up! :) I did notice that the paper masking seemed to burn fairly easily as the masking has a lot of bubbles in it, and wherever theres an air pocket, flame can show up. As you can see from my images, I got a fairly substantial flare up which kind of spooked me. I decided to try flipping the acrylic and cutting from the other side just to see if that helped...do NOT cut on the side with the clear film! The resulting cut is fine, but the engrave looks awful as the plastic film just kind of melts into it. Somewhat expected, but I still wanted to try it just for grins. See the 3rd photo to see the results of this experiment. The piece on the left was cut with the clear film side up. The one on the right was paper masking up. The only other thing I was a little bummed about is that the frosted aspect of this acrylic isnt a very dense frosted effect. Fairly light and see through and only one side actually is frosted, the other side is just plain clear smooth acrylic. I was hoping for something with a little more frostiness but thats okay, not a huge deal for my needs. Otherwise, really great product for a more affordable price than the Proofgrade stuff!
