I bought this machine to do some wood carving, but was intrigued by the ability to carve plastics. Went to Home Depot and bought a sheet of their hobby 18x24x1/4 inch clear acrylic sheets to play around with. Need to do some more tweaking with the graphic, but I wanted to post my first run. The "good" version of this will go in the transom above our front door.

Just used the standard carving bit. The image was a little dark around the edges, and cut too deep so some of the edges on the carving a blocky. I blended out the edges of the image to make a smoother transition. Going to run another this weekend.
