    I still think the one with purple led is my favorite.
    I've been trying to vectorize some images for some other guys projects and it's just not working. I'm not sure if that's the difference between the 50 dollar program or the $2500 program but I'd hate to find out its not

    2x4 feet is the largest. Haven't tried painting the back black on the acrylic, that may look pretty cool.

    You are taking images and "tracing" em with a design program like autocad/solidworks?

    I've done it both ways. Tracing them takes a while. I use a program called raster to vector. If you start with a good quality image it will pick up the majority of the lines and all you have to do if manually edit some to finish

    Can you machine any piece of acrylic? If so, I have a side window from my computer case I'd LOVE to have something engraved in so I could add some LED lighting to it for the same effect as you're getting with the signs and stuff.

    Yep. All I have on hand is .472" but I can get 1/4" and I think 1/8" also
