Did the machine do that black on the logo or did you fill it in? It looks like it's liquid oil! Seriously man, absolutely stunning etching it produces! LOVE IT
So the etch on the back only ate through one coat of the powdercoat unlike on the front. Which gave it a really, really cool look. You can't see it, but there's green speckles in the black on the logo. I clear coated it and added polyurethane to keep it sealed. UGH. I fucking love this machine. Hahaha

Second question- would it be okay to send over multiple pieces to try on different parts of the enclosure if I lay out a diagram for you? Just have a few ideas in my head and want to see how they come out!

I could etch each side of the enclosure if you want! I usually test the etch on a piece of aluminum before I hit the enclosure.
I'll do that for you and let you choose the one that looks the best. Sound good?
Purple it is!

Ok guys! I must apologize as I didn't send out samples! I'm sorry. I made a bunch but haven't had the spare cash to ship. They are going out soon. Thanks for you patience!

No worries! You were kind enough to do this all for free, the least we could do is be patient
Man, now I'm considering purchasing a laser engraver - not too many places in Australia are willing to engrave pedal enclosures reliably and for a decent price!

Best bet for you is probably China unfortunately. Mine was hand made in the United States, and I would HATE to see what the shipping costs would be on one of these. It's was ridiculous for me and I'm not that far from the builders.
It's definitely awesome though.
