Crystal Clear 3D Prints with Laser Cut Acrylic

Laser cut clear acrylic panels and 3D printed parts come together in this project to cover each other’s weaknesses. We'll get the best of both worlds without the need of tricky printing settings or super precise modelling.
For the puzzle prop above (for my escape room) I needed a very durable and visible design on top of perfect transparency. 3D printing wouldn't work as I couldn't get reasonable transparency (readable text underneath) and laser engraved clear acrylic would just not be visible enough. The good news is that I don't have to pick one or the other. Porque no los dos?
So I laid down a laser cut acrylic panel on my 3D printer's bed, designed the part and melted some PLA on top of that acrylic. (dramatized for entertainment purposes)
