These 2 settings cover cut and engrave 3mm Clear Acrylic on the Ortur Aufero Laser 2 (10W diode laser). Cast acrylic engraves more cleanly than extruded; for cutting, a single clean pass at the right speed usually beats multiple passes. Some settings use multiple passes for a cleaner cut: pin or tape your material flat before running to prevent shift between passes.
