Hiyas,

I contacted a local engraving and cutting place about getting some epic blast markers created-

I need to fill up a whole plastic sheet to get them cut, so I have a limited number of sets of markers for sale if anybody is interested?
The small markers measure ~20mm across the base, the large ~40mm across the base (These fit together in 2 parts to create a 3d marker). These should be available in clear orange acrylic, 3mm thickness.



I have either:
5 sets of 16 small / 4 large markers for AUD $18*, or
2 sets of 33 small / 8 large markers for AUD $35*

*Price subject to change upon final quotation from the workshop.

Until the minimum order is filled up to get them produced. Please PM me if you're interested, these are at the cost price to get them done!!

So, what's wrong with these? Too expensive?

I wanted to make my own, and I can make them cheaper, so yes

Dude! This is fantastic idea!  :))

Buuuut...what is the chance of having Epic 40K-style blast markers? Looking like explosions, I mean. What are the chances of getting something awesome-looking like those?

Possible? Feasible? Talk me through it.

These are cut from 3mm plastic, so anything that gets made has 3mm depth

They wont have colour print on them, but etching detail is a possibility (they are laser cut and etched)I think that juwst having the simple shapes cut is the cheapest option.

These are the simplest shape I could do, I was thinking of doing a more 'rounded section, then spike section, round section' explosion shapes that has the middle cut out, and mix/matching them or doing a second set maybe?

I'll do a second shape version (and pack more in to the sheet) and see if I can get another quote.

I see where you're coming from. Yeah, in that case, I think the design you've come up with is great.

Stick with that design--throwing in a new design now just muddies the waters for you (glad I could help out like that!).  :whistle:

Great for pets!

Ok here is design #2



I like this one better? It will have a cross join at the top for the two pieces to make them 3d.

Large= 35mm across
Small= 20mm across

What do ya think?
