redlinegraphics 0 Posted January 28, 2014 So I've gotta get a Zippo lighter engraved and not sure if there is a good site or someone on here who can do it? I can email a picture of the design if needed. The other option is would it be better to etch it? Or is etching it possible? I've got access to sand blasters so that's not a problem. Any help would be great thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coaster36 327 Posted January 28, 2014 Thats a hell of a lot of detail for zippo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redlinegraphics 0 Posted January 28, 2014 Well that's the other thing is if it's even possible. Would etching be better or would etching it be better, looking for all options here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coaster36 327 Posted January 28, 2014 If you were to etch that, do you have a way of cutting something that small with that much detail? I think my graphtec would struggle with that one. Laser engraving is probably your only option. It will probably be expensive for a one off but if they are willing to pay, im sure you can find someone online.

redlinegraphics 0 Posted January 28, 2014 Yeah ive got a graphtec but I doubt that detailed. She found someone at work who's father actually owns an engraving company so were going to see what he can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted January 28, 2014 Laser engraving would bust that right out. Don't know the cost and you'd need a vector file just like a cutter would. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OWJones 1,981 Posted January 29, 2014 Here it is as a vector, you'll probably want to tweak some nodes first... Mayan Petroglyph.eps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rlvied 292 Posted January 29, 2014 If I had to do it I would use photo resist. I have etched glass smaller than that. Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
