So as i have been playing around with different layouts i have been having good results with some of the engraved signs.
Depending on the picture i can digitize some of them to look pretty damn good.
Just trying to get an idea if its worth scaling up and doing more,
Not all pics work great. but a good pic and i can get great detail.
Right now ive been doing 12" x 16" and smaller but can go more than twice that size,
lots of options for the led edge lights depending on the application.
and just for reference i figure the 12x 16 with wooden base that can do multiple colors would be close to $100
Would like to get peoples opinion if it's something they would like.
Here are couple of examples

I tried to get my wife to do this on her laser but she never was into it so it never happened. I should just take her laptop and do one of mine for myself. lol!

I’ll take one. Not sure what files you need.
Need a pic of the boat. the cleaner the images the better, dark pics are hard to get detail also what else do you want on the sign? ill digitize it and send you a layout. if you like it then ill engrave

ill play with it this weekend when i have a chance, but most likely the lower side of it being so dark might not come out very well
also the size of the images doesn't matter. ill make it fit whatever size we need

Can these be used?

Maybe the Eliminator logo across the top, then the picture, then the boat name in its actual font?

I can email the hi res version of the action shot.

I’ll take one for sure.

Count me in. I can Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle. White and purple and blue 21 Daytona is my daughter’s boat. ( Chasing Dad ) and the white and yellow and blue 22 Daytona is mine ( Fast Enough ) please let me know what you want to make these. I think they would be awesome. Thank you, Joel

$100 seems too cheap for something custom like this. Could easily see $200-$250.
yep probably but I'm learning and this will be a good test run. see how much time it actually takes me to get final product. first ones took me a couple hours each but I think ill get that cut way down, and I already bought the software needed to vectorize images to something that I can use on the cnc

I'm down. $100 seems cheap. You can't get much with a $100 these days.

So the 12" x 16" ones are 1/8" thick and they work really well with the 12" wooden base. and you have different color options. it just plugs into a usb. you have one button inline on the power cord to switch between colors

Going to a 24" x 48" size i would probably go with 3/16 or 1/4" thick

I would say that for the 24" x 48 " just the acrylic engraved is going to be $200

Then need to look at the edge lighting. are you going to have it sitting on a table. or hang on a wall? those are different setups and prices.
plus if you have specific color you want that is cheaper than having muti color options.
