Black Opaque Glossy Acrylic Sheets, 12 x 12 Plastic Sheet with 1/8 Inch Thickness, 3-Piece Black Opaque Acrylic Blanks for Laser Cutting & Engraving Home Decor, Wall Decor

This is a lovely blue cast acrylic. So why did I give it only 4 stars? Its the description, not the item. I am seeing this with other sellers as well, and it upsets me. In my opinion, a 12 square should measure 12 on a side. At least they did not call it 1/4 thick like others do. This measures 11 3/4 x 11 3/4. So if you are doing a special project that requires, say, a 12 circle, this is not for you. And if you need a particular thickness, this measures on a micrometer between .185 and .190 (depending on where you measure, which is normal for acrylic). From the tolerance charts for acrylic that I have found on Google, this does qualify as being listed as 1/5. As long as you know what you are actually getting, this would be a beautiful product to work with.

The xTool black acrylic is a thin, very translucent plastic sheet. It is 1 mm thick and slightly under 11 3/4 square (297 mm) for the sides. The sheets and thin, but semi-rigid. Theyre more of a smoky gray than black. It is highly translucent, and you can clearly see details behind it almost as if it was as colorless piece of acrylic. There is a high degree of light transmittance, and it is not as dark as most of the ad pictures, perhaps closer to the second picture that shows a light gray. While that is not ideal for diode lasers, the thinness of the acrylic and the even dark coloration allows it to be cut at higher diode power outputs. This works great for decorative art pieces, stencils, building models, etc... but if you plan on making a structural part such as gears, you could cut identical pieces and layer them together at the cost of losing translucency. Overall, it is a thin acrylic. It is very clear, and the color is a lot lighter than expected but it is laser cuttable both by diode and CO2.

Flat, unscratched, and red. Cant complain.

These 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.

Comes well packaged. Has film facing both sides. Color is exactly what I expected.

As long as you manually set the height using the Set Focus feature on the Glowforge software, it will cut fine using the medium clear or medium black acrylic settings. These were all nice and flat with no warping. I saw some people had issues with the edges being rough or not cleanly cut, but mine had nice enough edges. I took one star off as the measurements are not exactly 12 x 12 x 1/8 but I did not need mine to be precise for what I was using it for.

I got this for laser cutter projects. The yellow is a nice color and the material came well packaged in a box with a bubble-wrap bag inside around the acrylic. Each sheet has brown masking material. Cant bet this for your laser projects under 12 -- I prefer cast acrylic and it cuts very nicely. My only constructive feedback would be that it would be nice if this vendor would offer more colors.

Wasn’t protected on both sides and arrived with circular etchings on all pieces so half the sheet on all is unusable. Acrylic is not cheap so it’s frustrating to get it in this condition

Highly impressed with packaging. Secure, strong box, bubble envelope, edged precisely and smooth, pristine, pure color throughout these opaque sheets.

These are coated on both sides to protect the plastic, with my 10 W diode laser (w-Air Assist) they cut cleanly with only 2 passes. Making quilting templates for my wife with these and will order more as needed. Arrived on time and in excellent condition.
