Light up signs - how to make them

So my wife was looking into buying a light up sign and I was like you know I have a laser and could make that… so I end up making it lol. Anyways here is how it turned out and I am going to add a tutorial on how to make it down below (hence why I am adding this to the tips and tricks category).

Photos of the different colors:

I don’t suppose this would be able to be done on a Aura due to constraints with the laser power?
Has anyone tried on a Aura?

Thanks,

The aura I don’t think can do clear acrylic.

@wenning08 is correct…the Aura cannot do anything with clear acrylic.

Not with the clear as folks pointed out, but the Aura can cut the other translucent colours…

Heh heh, I immediately thought of the Star Trek episode where Spock explains to Dr McCoy that his childhood “teddy bear” was alive and had 6-inch fangs.
