Now that I have more black acrylic (3mm thickness), I decided I'd try for a deep engraving. On the plus side, this is _definitely_ deep. On the minus side, I got significant warping. Is this just me trying to carve too deep into too-thin material? I ended up doing about five passes, plus a cutout.
Anyone who knows about #LaserEngraving or #LaserCutting - I would love some advice!
