Blue Diode Laser - Shadow Boxes - Mirror Versus Acrylic - 2024

Are you looking to save both time and money on your next Blue Diode Shadow Box Mirror project , then you might want to explore our method of using clear acrylic as an alternative.

In a past project, we crafted a "Fat Tire Ranch" backlit shadow box by etching the silver layer from the back of a mirror. The entire etching process, including both the back and color stages, took 21 hours, whereas using the Acrylic method reduced the time to just 6 hours.

Welcome to Gary's Imaginarium Channel.
Where we will take you "From Dreams to Reality" using 3D printers, CNC machines, Laser engraving and lots of cool electronics projects.
