One of my Recent projects. It started out life as a 3D Printed base and 3mm Acrylic 90mm wide blade.

The plan was to use a simple 100mm piece of LED tape in the base. It will take 7-10mm wide tape and generally 6 LED's be they basic single colour ones through to RGB ones. (Waiting on some of these RGB 100mm strips and controller )

I still have plenty to learn about Engraving Acrylic in particular photos but the early results look good. The engraving BTW is very light at 8-15% of my 40W and 300mm/s.

Possible uses heaps. Nightlights, Trophies, Commercial .....

Nice work Tim

Looks good- you might try experimenting with increasing the focal length as that will tend to melt [flow] the pattern from the laser scanning.

Got the delivery of RGB strips and controllers in the mail today. $3 for pushbutton or $4 with a remote
