Oh, how disappointing!

Yikes!! The good news is you have the files and experience assembling - and the weekend is here.

OK, so I didn’t want to say anything earlier because that’s really great work, but…
… now you can focus on perfecting the layer alignment errors you had when assembling the original!
It’s an opportunity!

If you slightly engrave the design of the layer above on the layer below they will snap into place easier and depending on the Glue job may be stronger, If you then engrave a round piece of wood like oak then if it drops is much less likely to break.

Dang it! I knew it was off!! Do you mind pointing out what you see? Brutal honesty is how I roll!

Great idea! I have been scoring the outline and leaving the paper one to help with alignment.
I will try this suggestion! Thanks!

That is what I did here and the upper layer is over halfway sunk into the lower layer, and even the very thinnest bits are strong as a result…

I didn’t really want to like this post. What a shame…you must have been so disappointed.

Looks good to me. Your alignment looks spot on!

Along the lower edge of the E? In the first pic, I thought it was just the angle of the pic, but from the side-angle, it looks like those layers are not spaced correctly.

I too looked at this with slitted eyes for clarity and see the same thing.

Looks great, good luck on the second one. I also live in Round Rock, just a block north of OSP, and my pup and I catch games whenever there’s a dog day.

Great job on the first pass (sorry about the breakage!) Hope the second iteration comes out even better!

I had similar problems with letters
I ended up taking the base-plate into my XCARVE
engraving a 0.5mm well for each letter
leaving a “button” in the middle so the letters “snap in” nice and tight.
Also, Using Acrylic cement and scoring the backs of the letters allows them to “fuse” together. One could play hockey with a piece that is cemented, locked and inlayed.
PS: that crack is fixable!

a little go’s a long way…
Might want to take a peak at this too: “Novus 7100 Plastic Polish Kit”

That looks really cool, Rahmin. I’d be proud to display that anywhere.
Curious why you chose not to cut the inside parts of the “E” on your blue layer. From the photos it looks like you went through the extra trouble of adding the red triangles back in. Is that just a trick of the photo, or is there a design reason for that?
A second point of consistency…there are three circles on your logo: one above the “E”, and two flanking the cow-catcher. The top one (white) has the 3d “notch” in it, but the bottom two (silver) do not. However, the cow-catcher slits all have the 3d “notches” included. My eye would prefer to see those notches inside the silver circles. You could even cut those out of white acrylic, if you wanted to stay consistent with the trademarked image.
Overall, outstanding logo, thanks for sharing!

I was totally wondering that too! So glad someone asked.
