The 'BUILT BY' Space Invaders grill.
« on: October 30, 2006, 05:14:08 pm »
Ok,

I have quite a lot of enquiries regarding the pic below.



I build machines for a crust and that is how I brand them. It is cropped because it has my website address below and I am not sure if I am allowed to advertise it here.
It is an 80mm fan grill (same size as standard PC one) cut from Stainless which I screw over the fan hole.

You guys are asking if I could make some for sale.

Sure no problem, BUT, I don't want to have to change it for each person.
I am going into the workshop to fabricate some more glass clips soon so if someone as an idea of what I could cut then fire away. Remember it has to be something everyone likes.

Maybe we could have 2 designs but thats it.
So if you have an idea, maybe Pixelhugger or Ad_nuff or one of the other art gurus want to step up, then shot your ideas to everyone.

Some of the token ideas are cool so maybe we could utilize a couple of those?

You can get down to some pretty good detail but remember you have a positive (satinless) and negative (cut out) image. Could probaly etch on there as well but if we can keep it simple then it keeps the cost down because its all charged by the distance the laser travels.

Turn on your thinking caps and fire away!

Wow! This could be EPIC!

I must put some thought into this.

I bet this will end up in a situation that needs a vote. :dizzy:

I am not sure why you wouldn't be able to include the website address in your picture.

They let us post our website in our signature.

Saint said its ok, so I will add a few more pics to my site and post it up.

Some forums don't let you promote your business ( I got told off a couple of times when I was new and didnt know).

Saint and the gang have always been very tolerant of my blatant capitalism.  :)
