Gunna have a go at this on plain acrylic first.

On a side note for OCUK ;D

I would love an Overclockers UK Mug!

Thanks PV for putting this guide together, much appreciated. A quality etching will make a nice addition to my project, all the details count

Thanks, I'll try this with my Phantom 410. I want to remove the mesh, increase the size of the opening and put an acrylic window on it.

Three words:

Stained Glass Window.

For some reason, that sounds epic.

do you what that would look like with a light source at the bottom illuminating it?

And also how complex an image do you think could be done? im thinking also for my case a profile of Toshiro hitsugya from an anime i like ? or would that be too complex.

i think it will like good. I'll give it a try as soon as I get the whole mode done

show us a pic .

lines are easy to do. "coloring" is the most difficult process

I myself am interested in trying some etching in my upcoming project!

Using a bleach character too, Kisuke Urahara, i plan on doing a simpler etch just two tones.

planned etch pictured below

This will be difficult to pull off but i'm hopeful i can get good results.
any advice would be appreciated!
