Hi.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Very informative, and it's been very helpfull with my laser 😊engraving. Cheers.
Brilliant tutorial mate, loved it, thank you very much 👍
great tips on the q tips and sandpaper around the top edge, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
i get my laser tomorrow so this helps :) Thanks.. More tutorials on xtool s1 thanks
Oh your going to love it
I got the items that you have and the score came out very nicely. Unfortunately I think Amazon’s vendor changed either the acrylic size or the base size as the acrylic doesn’t fit into the base as it woobles. Just not a tight fit as yours does.
Quick question if you place a wet towel down first and burn the image you wouldnt get the brown marks in the engraving saving you time on cleaning .... just a thought
Have you by chance tried taping or painting around the outside edge to make the engravings brighter? Paint would give a better spot to grab it to clean when the time comes.
No have not tried that. Just did the sandpaper trick
I tried using 45 power and 300 speed, didn't really do anything. not until 80 power and 200 speed did I get anything on the acrylic. this is whith the 20watt version of the S1. should I need go to 80 power for this?
Thank you so much for your quick response! unfortunately, it is an xcs file format which I cannot/do not know how to open in lightburn
Sorry I am a total newbie on Light Burn. I just started using it last week so I am slowly figuring it out but have a lot to learn
Import using XCS and export as an SVG
I just want to make sure my brain processed the visual information correctly… haha! Did you speed up the recording during the engraving process?
What software
How did you get it to engrave perfectly without using black paint behind it?
it's in the video black paper i used mdf because i had no paper but simple plack paper is all you need
How do you make the picture look like that so that it can be scored?
Awesome job, very helpful. But I missed where did you get the acrylic
The link is in the description of the RUclips video
Great example and art. So no prep of material, no paint, soap, what was your average setting for the burn and I understand it is different. Is because it is a 40w?
Power 23 speed 300 was on score not engrave but you can do either. and yes no prep just a dark back ground and focus has to be on the background not the acrylic
Great video. Thanks.
Curious what the reason is to focus on the board and if it matters where you start the kaser to do so or if you just need to place and start it anywhere on the board?
The laser can't see the top of the clear acrylic the beam on 450 NM passes right through so by focusing on the board we are tricking it a bit and its engraving on the back side of it because it can focus and hit the board or paper no problem and since they are so close where the are in contact with each other it works-Hope that makes sense?
Good information! Can this be done with the m1 xtool?
@@cd6941 i don’t own an M1 but I suspect you probably can the M1 is I think a 10 watt machine so I would definitely test it to get the best settings and to see if it will work.
You talked about putting the link for the unicorn on here where is it

Hello, I tried this on mdf, and it works, but it gets brown soot deep into the engraving and I can't get it all out. What type of wood are you using? It looks textured? Thanks in advance.
Black paper works best
Hi, thank you for the video! can you please tell/show me where the file is?
Its on xtools site project site

What were your settings?
Power 23 speed 300 was on score not engrave but you can do either and it's always good to test your unit they all vary so I would do a material test for the very best settings for you. I recently made another 2 of these the same way with a different design for some more nieces kids
The link for "Acrylic in all shapes for the above light " takes me to the Amazon sign in page and when I sign on it just takes me to my account page. Do you have any update on that particular link? Thanks. Do you have a link to the site you purchased those other acrylic pieces from?
I’ll check it out

Made a video on it the links are in the description of the video
@@ALXSHARPEN Thanks, I found that one right after I sent that comment to you.
May I ask what your settings are? I tried 15/450 and it didn't come out very good 😢

Speed 300 power 23 lpi 100 and it was on score
Thank you
Sorry for the unicorn?
Thanks man, this is the best tip i ever get. It`s so great to skip paint doing this, and the cleaing is so easy.👍👍
I use 250mm/s and 30% power on score, and 300/20 engrave. (4mm clear acryl )
Thanks
No problem
If you are using shop air to dry the acrylic, hopefully you have an oil-less compressor or at least an oil trap in the line. Oil would make a terrible mess of things.
Did you see any oil on it ?
No, I’m sure that you are aware that your shop air is clean. I just wanted to warn folks that may follow your directions that they should be aware of a potential problem.
Can the S1 40-watt cleanly cut through 2mm of acrylic?
Yes and thicker but mostly solid color acrylic it’s excellent at cutting black the one it can’t cut at all is clear acrylic it also isn’t great at blue or white I have cut red , yellow, Green, orange and a few other colors and some really cool colors ones with it. Here is a cool site where you can get acrylic that diode laser can cut. I will post the link.

great place for cool acrylics that diodes can cut
refrr.app/nVPJZ5HrSR/77833
if you need to cut clear acrylic you need a CO2 laser like this one from Xtool the P2 www.xtool.com/products/xtool-p2-55w-co2-laser-cutter
One down side of CO2 is the weight this is a desk top one and it's around 100 LBS pretty heavy not easy to move around by yourself
