It is proofgrade acrylic, right in the store.
And based on this responseâŚthat sad fact is about to changeâŚi didnât realize they did this.
Flat black Krylon spray paint. I love the mask for painting projects!
Oh shoot! I thought you guys had some two-tone PG. Itâs been a while since I hit the store.
(Got me all excited thereâŚ)
Cool. I like that part about, âIf you call Customer Support, they might make you print one.â ha ha
OooooooâŚI like this in clear acrylic a LOT!
Yes⌠Thatâs why I added my own voice to your question. I wanted the answer too. For the same reason.
Itâs opaque bile green (markings colored with Matte Black MTN 94 spray paint). It was a sample that I picked up at a trade show. I had also grabbed a sample of what I thought was florescent orange, based on the exposed edge that I could see under the maskingâŚ
(Snort) Hahaha, âBile Greenâ! Best laugh so far.
So⌠whoâs going to make the reversed version so it can be engraved on the back side of clear acrylic? Or is it all vectors so it could simply be mirrored in the GFUI?
Thanks for reminding me about this!
Here you go: Pasghetti Measurator
Looks toatally legit. Canât wait to see it cut.
Got lazy. Just tried the 2 color acrylic that I had from Inventables. Didnât bother trying any fancy settings and didnât measure the thickness. Selected automatic black acrylic and pressed print. Just wanted to see how the 2 color would shine through, wasnât worried about the detail.
Edit: originally posted a picture with what looked like melted edges on the acrylic under magnification. Then I realized there was a very thin clear mask over the green acrylic. Very hard to see or feel. Peeled right off and the edges look great.
Now I kinda wish I had bought some of that fancy stuffâŚ
I never realized quite how deep the cuts were until I saw the shadow cast from that angle. Is that the same depth for all the lettering, as well?
Itâs definitely got real depth to it. In my experience with 2-layer acrylic like that, itâs⌠say⌠similar to old-school engraved nameplates. Like these things:

ha ha ha haâŚthis made me laugh!
This finally showed up in my GFUI, it is going to be another âIâve got a scrap and 10 minutesâ thing. I love these sort of projects. Very little goes in the garbage around here.
I think I should use my sparkly acrylic for this!!! (Must make time tonight)
