- xTool sent out a box of assorted acrylic to use with the xTool P2. Having this machine has opened up doors with acrylic use as a product in my shop. The P2 is very well suited for acrylic cutting and engraving.
For templates that I have made, check out my Etsy shop. I build files for projects and tools for laser engravers.

Thank you for showing on each of the types of acrylic. We really appreciate your time and trials.
Glad you like them!
Love your videos you just speak in an easy everyday person kinda way so we can relate.
I am just an everyday guy.. Thanks
Excellent needed this info for my P2
Glad it was helpful!

Yea, I just never think of it
Would it be possible to try some cuts of the acrylic on the S1? So we know what would work and what wouldn’t.
Black acrylic is about the only dependable acrylic for the blue lasers. You can cut others but the results aren't great.
I do have this question would you say the p2 is like 3-4 times louder then the s1? I just got mine and it’s like wow what is going on. Fan noise is the issue and that dam fish tank air pump. It’s so bad it rattling the case and making it even worse.
Maybe twice, I don't pay it a lot of attention though. I usually have multiple machines going. The rattle is a bit annoying..
Do you put a gap between the honeycomb and the material?
Generally, no
@@TheClackShack thank you, and do you remove the paper and film from both sides?
I am trying to trace a shape on XCS to cut out acrylic earring pieces, but the trace gives me a double line. Is there any way of just having 1 cut line? Thanks
You should be able to ungroup and delete the line. This isn’t always the case but maybe it will work.
That camera means you don't really need to frame, so forcing you to physically press a button on the machine doesn't make sense. It's a good machine overall, though.
The button press is the one thing I would do away with for sure..
It keeps you from starting burns remotely and not being there to observe, at least initially. I agree that it's annoying, but I can see why they might do it. Remember, there are a lot of stupid people out there, and lasers can create fires pretty easily.
@@DavZell I understand why they do it but also do not think this could be a negative to people like myself who do not need safety to be regulated by others. A simple software override with a warning would cover them from the liability.
@@TheClackShack You're very creative... just figure out how to automate a remote controlled solenoid! :-)
@@DavZell I have it figured out, just don’t wanna mod a new machine
