Studio-N Report post Posted April 15, 2017 experimenting with belt/strap; emobossing rolls. This was a prototype done in aluminum ('cause it's what I had available today). the production pieces will be done in brass. putting all that school knowledge to work. I think I learned what I needed to from this piece so the next ones should be even better. still even this prototype is usable. I should point out I tried before in delrin, but the material was just too slick (hence the texture in the background). Kinda what prompted me to go to school. cheers!

bikermutt07 Report post Posted April 15, 2017 A fella could sell a gazillion belts in the Great Republic with that roll. To sell them where I live they would need to be crawfish and fluer de luis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Studio-N Report post Posted April 15, 2017 I understand. this was just an easy design to prove in the machine toolpaths. Texas rangers and Walker Texas Ranger entered my brain and festered. Anyone who have seen my postings or website know I have an eclectic (ok, just weird) taste of stamps. Some of those will definetly make the transition to a roll. These take quite a bit of time to develop. I don't really plan to get into the 'custom' rolls unless the price is right. The evil empire use to charge $300 back when they did custom rolls and I can see why. This was probably 5-6 hours of development time. Now that it's done, I can make copies and amortize the cost, but for one-offs that 5-6 hours of cost needs to come from somewhere. cheers and Thanks.

billybopp Report post Posted April 15, 2017 Sweet! Yeah, several of your stamps would make great embossing rolls. I can see a marijuana roll selling well, particularly in Colorado! Can't wait to see what you come up with. Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The laser is only 0.002" thick. The smallet bit I can get away with is 1/32" 0.032 so a good 15 times larger. 30 times on a 1/16. I'm just waiting on some more materials to come in to try some other designs. (punisher is gonna happen for sure) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
