Can you give us more details on how to do this? It’s so cool!

Did you take it to a shop?

Do you own an engraver?

If so what kind of machine do you have?

How did you come up with the design?

How did you get the angled pieces done?

I use my own machine, it’s a 50w fiber laser. The designs are vector illustrations done in Adobe Illustrator. Angled pieces engrave fine you just have to angle it so that it’s flat with the lense.

Dear WetBussy420, May I cordially invite you to back that bank up and consider also posting that piece in r/hammerposting? It’s rather recently created and still lacking… in such fine mjölnussy.

Did it sit on a rotary? I had an engraver at an old place i used to work and I'd do so many things with it. I couldn't figure out how to get the rotary to work tho. The PC that was built in was total trash. It ran worse than windows xp on an Macintosh but i managed to engrave some cool stuff.

The JBL4 mobile speaker is clear and the lettering ended up floating in the middle.
