Video Not Working? Fix It Now

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. 00:00 Start (Material tester glass sheet and sample etched image) 02:54 Lightburn - Material Test project explanation 06:22 Lightburn - Project setup 07:38 Layer Configuration (Speed, Max Power, Image Mode) 09:04 Laser Setup (Honeycomb, poster board, glass material, 2mm spacer) 10:09 Etching Process 11:50 Glass Sheet immediately after etching 12:40 Finished Product after cleaning Glass Sheets - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R8Q5PBF Posterboard used for backing - https://www.michaels.com/product/22-x-28-poster-board-by-creatology-10525550
