Has anyone tried cutting out old CD cases with the Glowforge?

Here’s a thread that discusses it. It’s usually extruded acrylic so less desireable with a laser.

Cd jewel case material engraving and cutting

Continuing the discussion from What are the most unique materials you plan to use?: We have had a good discussion on the CDs themselves. What about the cases? A cheap source of material. It is polystyrene. What I note is that it burns being a hydrocarbon and leaves CO2 and water and soot. Flammable too. Anyone with laser experience use these?
