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

These 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!

I really like this for use in my K40 laser - it cuts and etches consistently, seems to have less of an odor, and has an interesting frosted finish on both sides. The frosting makes it a little tricky to use - since the edges are shiny and transparent, any inconsistency or irregularity of the edge is readily obvious. This is. very interesting aesthetically, but shows off your mistakes! One of my favorite features is plastic liner on one side, paper on the other. This way I can cut the paper side (protecting against fume deposits on the surface), and not have to remove it (or use blue tape) or melt another layer of plastic. I havent figured out how to take advantage of the frosted finish yet, but I look forward to finding out.

Like 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 opaque red - 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. 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.

This acrylic is much better than expected! :) Its a great thickness, great quality, arrived protected with no scratches, & is perfect for use in laser engravers & cricut type machines. Id definitely order again & recommend it to others crafters. :)

I ordered this to use for multiple purposes one being with a cricut maker. The thickness works well since the cricut has its limits, but against my laser I would go thicker. You can compare the 1/25 to shrinky dink film. The price is not over the top where ill be using it for engraving practice.

I purchased this to use with my laser. Good quality material, good thickness and a pretty blue color. It came very well packaged, especially careful to avoid scuffing and marks which is easy to do with acrylic. Will buy again for any projects needing acrylic.

Its good with my 20 W diode laser.

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

Do you know the meaning of opeque...if you want to cut with diode laser DO NOT BUY IT I ve atomstack xtool urthur non worked even with 20w laser
