Well, yet another laser engraver in town fell through today. That makes 4.    :banghead:

If anyone has, or has access to a laser cutter/etcher, a small amount of ⅛" black plexi, and would like to help me fabricate the two simple I/O panels I need for my build, I would really appreciate it. As long as you aren't planning on quoting me an arm and a leg.

What about an elbow and shin?  :cheers:

Have you tried a trophy shop?

Seriously, the last place wanted to charge me almost $200 for three pieces.  :o

Damn - forget arm and a leg- that's the whole torso they want there.

Neph's idea of a trophy shop is a good one.

I had a local trophy shop laser cut and engrave all the NephRing plates. Prices were reasonable enough to keep costs low.

Do you have all of your artwork "ready to go" or is that part of the work you need done?  Looking for regular line-style engraving, or actual ablation type engraving?  If the latter, it takes time to process the artwork to achieve a nice result and sometimes some trial and error.  What do you consider "an arm and a leg"?

PM me with your details.
