depends on the type of acrylic - extruded acrylic (which is mostly used for its ability to get a smoother, more flame-finished laser cut) smells like DEATH, imho. do not want. ...while cast acrylic (which, though more expensive, is always my preference, as you can get a more refined/even looking raster engraving, and still a decent looking cut) has a sweet smell when lasered, similar to the candy-like bouquet wafting through a nail salon. always good to have a nice filtration setup though, so you're not stuck in an acrylic fume-cloud all day.
