I’m getting edge scorching on 2 mm cast acrylic. Share your settings if you’ve found a reliable combo. I’ll compile a cheat sheet for the lab.
How is this design?

We’ve locked the floor plan. If you’re bringing larger work, please reply with vehicle size and arrival window so we can coordinate the side door.

If you’ve got a sharp eye for composition or color balance, drop a note. The sketch board closes at 5 PM today.
The thread includes a 20° duct mod if anyone wants to test it. Happy to share the model file after a few more runs.
