Hello! Is neje 3max with A40640 module capable to cut 3-5 mm acrylic materials? I tried to cut acrylic (plexiglass some people say). I saw videos cutting clear acrylic but I couldn’t even engrave the surface.I use clear and also white, the same result, nothing happens. Is it possible only with black colour?

      Clear acrylic is transparent to the visible blue diode light so cannot be engraved or cut with your laser. White basically reflects the light and so won’t cut or engrave.
      Black is likely the easiest to cut but you may find other generally dark colors that can absorb the frequency of light and cut accordingly.
      CO2 lasers will cut acrylic without fuss which is likely the type of laser used in the video that you saw.
