just did a lil engraving. but im having trouble getting it to catch light. thers a light right under it. perpendicular to it of course. egrave deeper?? i only did surface engraving so that may be the reason. anyway....

i just HAD to do something as a tribute to the orange box lol

what did you use to engrave it?

For maximum light defraction your engraving needs to have right angles perpendicular to the face of the acrylic.

Crude drawing:

----|___|----

Where the channel is actually a portion (line, radius, etc) of your engraving.

yeah i know. i been modding for a while:P i just didnt want to use the engraving bit and wanted to see how this would turn out. looks like im going back for the real bit.

i did it with a stone grinding bit. looks decent considering it felt like i was drawing on ice.

I had the same problem on Lexan with a dremel so I went out and bought a sand blaster, a very small one with 220 grit blast medium. I will let you know how it goes.
