greetings-

I was able to get the 10x20 plaque converted into a bmp and then into a dwg and dxf files. Copy of the bmp is attached.

A local shop that said they could laser cut me one but the price is higher than I would like. They said there would be a discount for multiple items so i thought I would see if anyone else (especially 2nd owners) would be intereseted.

Note: The end product would be the silver plaque without any lettering, I am planning on having that done separately.

if your would be interested in one, plz reply so i can get a rough count.

I would be interested, please count me in if it goes ahead. I'm in the UK.

Throwing a NUMBER out might help folks decide. Even if you can only tell us the single-unit (costs too much) number it gives us SOME idea. If you share the number of units that hit discount points and said discounts, it would REALLY help.

Does that ONE piece cost $100 and if you order ten the price drops to $12 each, or what?

the manufacturer is telling me a high cost for a prototype (about 200 usd) but then it would drop depending on how many more I would get. I was thinking an initial run of 15 units for now with cost to buyers of about 125 USD (not including postage).

How thick aluminum do you want it cut on? I could ask my friend to give it a try on the CNC cutter. It is not laser and personally, for such an easy task I don't think laser is necessary. PM me we can chat more about it

 

[VJ020]

We have cut a mock version out on wood already and it looks great!!

We can cut them on aluminum, carbon fiber, wood, and plastic. Thickness and size of the plaque can also be decided as you like

 

[Josema]

I want one

 

[VJ020]

With the paragraph or without? We'll wait for VEGAS08 to reply

 

[VJ020]

Please ignore the top. Couldn't find a big enough piece of scrap wood around. Evidently some of it got cut off from another project illustrated in yellow.

 

[duc.man]

ill take one for number 343 pls just want it to look the way it came from factory

 

[VJ020]

I'm talking with Marty on engraving the whole paragraph out, which would turn out nicer.

The original version is most likely done through pad printing like the company logos you see on free usb thumb drives.

 

[Declan#884]

I'll take one for number 884 pls I also just want it to look the way it came from factory

 

[VJ020]

Engraved? Or printed

 

[Maxsam]

I would put in for one as well. It would be better if we could get the writing done as well.

 

[VJ020]

well there are a couple options
1) Print the writing on a clear vinyl and apply it on to the substrate
2) Pad print directly onto the aluminum surface
3) Engraving directly INTO the aluminum surface and filling it in color


Can we get a vote which method you guys prefer to have the writing done?

 

[Michel]

Thanks. Never seen an engagement like yours!

Very welcome.

All the best
Michel

 

[Declan#884]

I'm not particularly bothered, so long as it looks like the original.

for myself, I would want option 3

 

[Dave]

I'd have one - whichever option is closest to the original

 

[u moto gp]

I would also be interested....option 3 sounds better quality...but price is the decider
