Laser Engraver + 15 Min of Free Time
These are my EDC. I thought it came out well. I put my last name on the other sides. 1200 dpi looks much sharper in person.

That’s pretty cool. I would like to engrave a few things, but I’m not interested in setting up the tech to make it work.

I'm looking forward to this answer! Big Grin

Having changed jobs, I don't still have easy access to my laser goods....




God bless America.

Laser engraver is an Epilog Fusion Pro 48 (it's a work machine, not home Frown ), but I am the one who owns it and trains people on it. It does really impressive work (for a ~30k machine!); I could have tightened it up a bit more if I hadn't rushed. It can do up to 1200dpi and has both a CO2 and fiber laser.

The flashlight is a Malkoff; I believe it's an XPL-1, but it's been a while.

It's all about balancing priorities, man!

New truck...or a laser engraver...

Pay mortgage...or a laser engraver...
