Gotham City Police Picture
Anniversary gift for my batman encrazed girlfriend. It took 8 hours and 21 minutes to laser engrave everything. I think that has to be the longest running job without a disconnect, although I was super worried as when I started the air filtration unit the serial disconnected. Thank god it didn't happen mid run. The engraving is 14.5" x 15" and utilized most of the SO3.

That is impressive, thanks for sharing. I always wondered how long something like this would take to run. Sounds like the laser is similar to 3D printing in how long a larger more intricate print would take.

Amazing. Is that wood? Can you link me to the laser? Can it also do aluminum? (I know nothing about them)

I would link you, but the website is down.. . . This is the kickstarter. Last I knew Nick quit his day job to work on this project full time, but there has not been very much progress so I would not recommend going this route. I can recommend jtechphotonics having dealt with them, and knowing they have great customer service. If your more of a DIY guy, check out DTR's Laser Shop
Aluminum, Yes/No. That is a loaded question. You can take the Anodizing off, leaving the bare aluminum. Use a endmill for cutting though
