Excellent work. I tried to find it on the blog but just got lazy and thought I would post here instead. What type of laser cutter are you using?

Richard,

It's a VersaLaser VLS4.6 CO2 laser (US manufacture if your looking for one), from Universal Laser Systems.

cheers

Looks like Armorcast oil well. Less cartoony though. Yours is much better IMHO.

Thanks for that. I did try to make it fairly realistic, if somewhat simplified.

Also, if I manage to sort out getting it into production, it is a lot bigger than their one and will hopefully work out a bit cheaper too.

Damn, I'll be forced to buy three of yours then.
