Just got the spark- can’t get acrylics to cut. Brought ancrylic off Amazon… trying to do a gold mirror… what is thickness and manual settings to make this stuff cut… 1/8 thick. Please help or can you tell me what and where to buy acrylics that will cut and engrave
Thanks in advance

The spark uses a blue LED laser to work significantly better on some acrylic colors than others. It won’t work on clear or mirror which is mostly clear.
EDIT: spelling and grammar

From the Spark product page on glowforge.com:
Try Glowforge Spark-compatible Proofgrade materials for smart settings and perfect results. For best performance, choose thin Proofgrade materials, and avoid clear, white, translucent, or blue acrylic.

That exact same seller on Amazon should be fine - or acrylic from anywhere, just avoid those colours.
