I am also offering an 8"x10" lexan engraving. This piece is reverse engraved (ie, engraved on the back side so the front stays smooth) and is shipped with it's protective plastic still on. As with the wood products, this will be be bubble wrapped and shipped via USPS flat rate priority mailings.
Prices: Large Beech: $28.00 Small Beech: $23.00 Lexan 8"x10": $19.00
Payments should be made via PayPal to datacop@gmail.com
Would it be possible to get it in Lexan but on a (12mm) 1/2 in thickness or close to that ..... if you can PM price including shipping to Levis, Quebec, Canada G6V-9T6

Thanks Danyel
I've not been able to source any Lexan locally in that thickness
Not sure if this would work or not, but thought I would ask.
I would love to see one in Lexan / Acrilic / Plexi-glass that is a bit thicker. Maybe 1/4" thick. I would like to put it in a flush frame of sorts, and put LED's in / behind that frame even with the lexan. With the way it is cut on the CNC, I wonder how well the LED's would light up the engraving.

I was thinking the 8x10. Could you try to stick a light on the edge of one that you have there and see of the emblem illuminates? I was thinking on fabricating this somehow into the car under the hood. With some small LED's around the edge, and a frame of sorts to hide them. I don't want to to look half "donkey" so I will need to raise the area with filler or something somehow, so it is all flush. The thicker the lexan / plastic the harder that will be to do to make it flush. How thick is the lexan that you are using now? at least 1/4" would prob be needed to embed some small LED's around the edge would be needed. If you can just test to see of the emblem illuminates on one of the thin ones you have, that would be great.
I am thinking on putting it in the center hood area, the large open area in this picture, and then filling in the area around it to level it all off somehow.

Doesn't even need to be LED's to test it. A flashlight, shop light ect, just being shined into the edge of the lexan would work. I just don't know with the CNC, and the rough cut it makes would light up the logo or not. Not "rough cut" as in a bad job, just the nature of the way it grinds out the logo is all.
If you can't quite figure out what I am looking for, here is an example. This is a custom door, with the lights hidden in the frame of the door. As the light travels through the plexi-glass, it only illuminates the etched parts.
This is a rough sketch of an idea, on where I would like to put it. It's definately gonna take some fabrication work to cover the edges of the lexan and such....
If this works, I bet you will start to sell a few more of them

Got a picture for you John. Just a pen light shined into the side of one of his lexan pieces. Working on an upload. I got this wanting to something similar to the door you posted with LEDs just haven't gotten around to it.

If you can go just a little bit deeper with the CNC in the 1/4" lexan than you do with the .08 sheet, I definitely will take one. Just let me know and I will get the $38 off to you.

I can.. for the .08" I used a 50 degree V bit.. for the 1/4" I'll use a 60 degree bit so it will be deeper and the "reflecting walls" will be more defined.

The question I posted was to do the LED version.... but to light up the logo correctly you will need LEDs top and bottom .... or side to side ... 1/4 inc will be too thin for the LEDs needed for insertion and correct light dispersement
