Bambu Black Acrylic Batches are varying

My first box of black acrylic etched super nicely with all power levels the texture is flat and has a nice matte finish..

i bought more and now the results are totally different… 40% power is dark where it was light on the other batch and the texture is rough like sand.

Has anyone else noticed this. Hoping I can get the original type back :frowning:

You should move this to the Filament category.

It’s not filament. Is there an acrylic or laser cutting category?
Anyway, I got out another box and it is light night and day difference… this box is like the original box I had. So theres definitely a difference between batches FYI.

Sorry, I did missread your message.

A lot of their materials for laser engraving/cutting differs between batches.
But it shouldn’t make that big differense in the process.
You are using 10W laser right?

he differences are drastic. frustrating I spent hours trying to find one thats good. Went through two boxes. Yes 10 Watt laser… I have to etch swatches out on each sheet now to confirm it’s a “good one”.
