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,
Greg

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

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

Thanks folks, appreciate the feedback!

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