This is in response to @nunzioc asking the difference between the two when engraved. Here are two similar engraves. The one on the left is extruded, the right, cast. Extruded cuts a bit more cleanly, but engraves poorly compared to Cast.
Ignore the paint on the left one.

That’s a stunning difference.
Same color acrylic?
It’s quite stark.
Thanks for the illustration.

Yeah, both clear 1/8". You will see a good bit of variance in extruded acrylic, like the photo I showed of the other piece in the other thread whitened a bit more than this one. Thats why I just try to stick with cast for engravings. Extruded is great for constructions though.

And the one on the right smells 10,000% better when cutting.
Still smells horrible. Cut the other is THAT MUCH WORSE
