Don’t tell, but if you put more than $100 of material in your shopping cart, shipping’s free.

Wow! Amazing work sir. I’m particularly loving the idea of engraving both sides of coloured acrylic so it shows through. Very neat.

That’s what it gets for making you wait so long for it!

Wow, if these are your beginner projects, I can’t imagine what you’ll do when you’ve practiced up a bit. Mind blowing!

The orange acrylic piece will be part of a ledge lit sign. the back layer is some fluorescent acrylic from Inventables. This was just etched from the back. The detail is really incredible.
Then i just added a second sheet of clear and etched that from the back as well.
The Make things logo was just an etch of some thicker acrylic i had around the garage. When etched from the front it was fairly rough. I still need to try defocusing the laser to smooth that out. I just hit it with some gold spray paint. The gold paint on the rough surface really made a fun glittery finish.
The ATAT and the octopus where part of a fun experiment. I was talking with a friend about the possibilities of doing linocuts or wood block prints. After we searched the internet quickly for some examples we just used the camera to scan the iPad screen.
This worked even better then i thought. It was great for a quick test. It would be really nice to have a few more tools available in the UI for editing the scan and adding simple cut shapes, but i’m sure that will come with time.
