    I'm a designer. I love doing oddball lasered business cards, from wood, cardboard, sometimes clear acrylic to attract attention. But I always use the stock 2" x 3.5" size, as do most designers.

    I use a toaster oven to heat and form acrylic. It's fun and not difficult. Acrylic softens and becomes pliable at around 170-190 degrees Fahrenheit. Let it heat slowly and don't overheat.

    You're right.
    In my case, it's the stock 2" lens, and the air assist is as it came from the factory. It doesn't seem to be easily adjusted.
