I just started a print on the laser cutting using a clear acrylic sheet I got from Home Depot, but wanted to be extra sure I’m using the right type before proceeding.
I made sure to test it to make sure it would snap cleanly rather than bending (to avoid the type that creates chlorine gas when cut), but there was still a faint white residue on the bed after I did a test run on the full spectrum laser.
Is there anyone at the makerspace now who would know more about this?
I just don’t want to accidentally create harmful vapors or cause any damage to the laser cutter.
Thanks!
