This video will go over my method and settings for etching onto clear glass sheets using the Atomstack A5 M50 Pro diode laser (5.5-watt) and the lightburn software.
I'm using thick black posterboard/card stock on top of a standard honeycomb bed under a 1.6mm glass sheet. I think the results turned out really nicely without the need for paint or complex prep and clean-up. This is pretty much the identical process to my video on etching clear acrylic, just with significantly different power and speed settings.
