I just tried my local print / sign shop with a small cnc letter maker...
Pretty happy with the results !
If you can think of it... they can do it.
My poor Rhino-trans now gets some recognition

I think it's pvc but it's quite dense and strong.
I happened to want black anyway but it comes in UV colors also.
It's on my buggy so it's going to bake in the sun. ??
I don't know about inside an engine compartment.. such as an engine
cc plaque ? But I would think it would take quite a bit of heat. |

| You can use my CNC, Tom! Looks like a 1/8" bit was used on 3mm pvc. Looks nice - just keep in mind that pvc isn't UV stable... you should ask what that material is. |

Nope, Not me. I don't do stuff like that. I can see other things though.

I wasn't accusing anyone here. I always sign my name (Tom) at the end of my posts because Kathleen has also been know to post. So we put our name at the end so people know who wrote the post. TJ (Tom), I know how sensitive you are about copyrites! Once again, Tom (me).
