  1.  UPGRADING YOUR CORE COLOR  If you’re upgrading your acrylic sheets core color, make sure you’ve selected the 12” X 18” sheet size and UPGRADE core color on the first three drop downs (any thickness is available). Pictured below You’ll need to make sure you select your print style if it is an available option.  HERE are all the details on that. If no option is available, we print it STANDARD- that means full color with a full white layer/bleed- the background will always be the pattern or white.  Next, click the “Upgrade core color” checkbox.  This will bring up a drop down menu for your upgrade options. Please make sure that if you select a 1/16” thickness, you only select from the 1/16” upgrade options, and similarly for the 1/4” thickness options. They are divided out towards the bottom of the core color options.  2.  ORABOND Orabond is a double sided adhesive tape similar to 3M 467MP. It's a thin, laser safe material that we apply to one side of your acrylic sheet. Once you cut your material, you peel off the silicone backed liner on the back of your acrylic/orabond, and press where you want! This is a hardy adhesive that doesn't offer a ton of give once stuck.  This is great for adding layers to signage, acrylic jewelry, and more!  3.  CUT SHEETS IN HALF:  Unless you notate in the checkout notes section, we cut your sheet in half to the next smallest size of our stock acrylic sheet sizes.  For example, a 12" X 18" sheet is cut in half to (2) 12" x 9".  An 18" X 24" Sheet is cut in half to (2) 12" X 18" Sheets. A 24" X 36" sheet is cut in half to (2) 18" X 24" sheets. A 24" X 48" sheet is cut in half to (2) 24" X 24" Sheets. 4.  PRINT BOTH SIDES: If you'd like your patterns printed on both sides of the acrylic, please choose this option. Please note that our clear acrylic are printed on “both” sides by default so there’s no need to choose this option for clear. In addition, we don't currently offer double sided printing on half sheet options. If you choose this option for 12" X 9" sheets we are unable to offer a refund on it, or print both sides.  Click the box for the processing time acknowledgement and you’re ready to go!  Of course if you still have questions don’t hesitate to reach out! 

DIY Custom Acrylic Shelf for Your Mimaki Printer Stand ✨ Looking to elevate your equipment setup? This week at CMB, Nick built a custom acrylic shelf for our Mimaki printer stand, and it turned out incredible. Not only does it add a bold, personalized flair, but it’s also a functional upgrade that anyone with a laser can recreate! Materials Used: 2 sheets of 1/8" Matte Black Acrylic (for top and bottom layers) 1 sheet of 1/4" Matte Pink Voltage Acrylic (for the center layer) Orabond (double-sided adhesive) Step-by-Step Breakdown: 1. Measure & Cut We started by measuring our Mimaki stand and cut each acrylic sheet to 35-5/8” x 29-5/8” – the perfect fit for our shelf insert. 2. Apply Orabond To prep for layering, we applied Orabond to the backside of each sheet. This makes final assembly quick, secure, and seamless. 3. Design & Laser Cut We cut the outline design out of one sheet of matte black acrylic – this serves as our top layer. Using the same design, we cut it out of our matte pink voltage acrylic – this becomes the middle accent layer, adding a bold pop of color. On the second sheet of matte black acrylic, we framed, scaled, and engraved the same design. This sheet acts as our bottom layer, adding depth and detail. 4. Layer & Assemble To assemble the shelf: Start with the engraved black layer as your base. Carefully align and place the hot pink layer on top – the design should line up perfectly. Finish by adding the cutout black layer on top, sandwiching the hot pink acrylic between both black sheets. The result? A vibrant, dimensional shelf that looks like one seamless piece. Why We Love It 💕 This project is a simple yet impactful way to customize your workspace and show off your laser skills. Plus, it’s a great excuse to try out layered acrylic designs and experiment with color pops. Whether you're upgrading your own setup or making something custom for a client, this method is beginner-friendly and totally scalable. 🛠️ 🖤 Want to recreate this look?Grab the Matte Black and Matte Pink Voltage Acrylic Sheets from our shop, and be sure to check out the full video tutorial to see the process in action!
