MAKING A CUSTOM MIRROR ACRYLIC TURNTABLE

Рет қаралды 4,205

Күн бұрын

This week I am working on a collaboration project with Adam over at @prettydone on Instagram for making a custom mirror acrylic turntable. He is a local artist who drew the designs for this custom turntable art. This custom artwork is a cool and unique way to think about mirrors in the house and home decor in general.
Which is better, the sneakers or this turntable?

Really enjoy seeing custom work like this. The end result looked great even with the masking still covering the true mirror finish.

I love uncovering it but I didn’t want it to scratch before he picks it up.

Good Job, first time in a long time that you didn’t make a template first, free styling it .🙌

I actually scored the template onto the backer.

Nice job! That 3M adhesive is such a headache saver when gluing, especially with acrylic. Regular glues would end up making the piece look like a crime scene!

Ideal settings for 45watt?

@MakerExperiment 2 жыл бұрын

I’m honestly not sure. I’d see if your machine has recommended settings. If not, you can start at the same settings I use for 60 watt and adjust them to work for your machine.

@8:40 I think it is superglue with needle? Where did you get it? Thanks

It’s weld on 3 which is an acrylic solvent. Here’s a link to it on Amazon. amzn.to/3ZodCYL

What do mean black backer ? Is that a pad or piece of black paper? I’m sorry I just bought lazer machine I’m still learning. Thanks

It’s a piece of black acrylic that’s 1/8” thick. If you’re new to lasers you may want to consider joining my community.

nice, blue circle doesn't look centered in the opening though

@MakerExperiment 3 жыл бұрын

It was tough to align and it’s slightly out of alignment. It’s also not fixable with mirror acrylic because if I tried to peel it up and replace it, it peels the mirror coating off and damages the material.

@rwhipple73 3 жыл бұрын

@@MakerExperiment youch! Yeah I get it for sure! Something like that I’d probably use a sacrificial piece of material to use as a template to help get perfect alignment. I’ve been thinking about using coroplast as that sacrificial template since it’s cheap and laser safe…..

@MakerExperiment 3 жыл бұрын

@@rwhipple73 I usually use cardboard. This one I etched the placement template onto the backer. I just misaligned the piece and once that tape sticks with mirror acrylic, it’s game over.
