First time using acrylic for a project like this, and delighted with how it came out! I scored everything aside from the logo (top right) which I engraved.
I’m semi tempted to score some surf boards on the front, for a two-tone effect - would welcome your thoughts.
Do it and see how you like it.
I think that would look cool. Or make it 2 layers doing the surfboard in a complementary color!
That looks WAY cool!
If you’re going for iterations, you might also try defocusing the score at the top (around Dylan) which would thicken it, and scoring your logo that way (to make the process faster)
Could you explain further what you mean by defocussing the score line please?
Manually enter a focus height significantly different than the actual height. This post is about defocused engraves, but the concept is the same. Guide to Defocused Acrylic Engraving - #2 by bill.m.davis
Yeah what @dklgood said - basically if your material is 1/8" set the focus within the individual step to 1/2" and force the laser out of focus - you’ll get a wider, shallower line.
