Laminated acrylic to make the shanks of these rings then lasered after laminating. The Punisher one has a layer of clear between the black, not just open space. Engraved then solvent welded the toppers to the shanks.
It was so much faster and easier to cut these with a laser than making them by hand like we did 25-30 years ago in shop class!
I’m kinda glad my workspaces/ work surfaces are so beat up it’s unreal. I’d be upset if I had a nice fresh white surface with a big red streak of liquidy-melted acrylic smudged into it.
Pretty risky to show up without licensing in place. I mean, some of those people are charging for autographs, they wouldnt blink at snooping out IP infringers.
So far my longest job was a 1 hour engrave and no, I have not had any issues with the temperature. Thermostat is on 78, actual air temp is at 76 in this room.
