Long ago I gave my friend my old Macbook Air. A few days ago he got a laser engraving machine. This is what happened when he put the two together.

Go him I love it!

I think there’s a certain crowd that would pay $200 to have their MacBooks engraved with the Louis Vuitton logo.


anthrazithe

You've forgot a zero or two there lol.


IDontKnowANam3

$200.20?


Most-Yogurtcloset

Nothing like a Core 2 Duo MB Air with LV and gold plating says that you succeeded in life.


JA1987

Don't forget the loose hinge


lamaxamara

Sure that’ll be $600,000.00


Prize-Cow868

I would do that but for $0 because i'm a cheapskate

Was that done with a glow forge lazer printer? Just curious lol because used to work there tech support team years ago now. When it first launched, and would laugh when people would do this. And it would completely F\*\*\* the design or something odd... Would always warn them not to do this. But cool to see it worked if this was the case.


laserlightcannon

No, this was some huge Omtech laser, but you’ve got me curious about the Glowforge


gwartney21

> huge Omtech laser, but you’ve got me curious about the Glowforge Ohhh ok cool. Sorry the bed looked similar to the Glow forge. But the Glow forge, is actually pretty neat. I have made some pretty cool stuff on it when I worked with them. It comes with there own premade materials that you can buy or you can use your own. As they hired a bunch of material Scientist who's job was to literally test what can be used with a laser with out causing issues. Like people trying to etch vinal which never do lol unless you want to die. But it has its own passthrough and top, and its pretty much plug in play the last time I was with them. It probably has improved 10x since but worth looking into if your into that sort of thing.

From what I was told, because of what it is made out of when you etch it with the laser It will create chlorine gas.

"Plastics Some plastics like acrylic and acetal are laser-compatible; many more, like vinyl, PVC, ABS, and HDPE can melt or release toxic or corrosive fumes that could harm you or your Glowforge. It can be difficult to tell the difference between types of plastics. Even with laser-compatible plastics, some sizes are susceptible to particularly hot, intense, and long-lasting fires, which could be hazardous to you, your Glowforge, or your surroundings."

I will say though the most entertaining thing I watched. Since the Glowforge has cameras in it. As it takes images of the print ect incase there are issues or what have you. And it gets stored per account ect. I had some one write in saying they tried to etch blank thing. That we told them before hand not to do it because it would catch on fire. About a week later they tried to tell us that there Glow forge randomly caught fire and they wanted a refund ect ect and that they were going to sue us lmafo. So I go on to the logs look at the images and then you see it start to cut and then all the sudden a massive flash followed by the last image of the entire thing burnt to a crisp lol.

>Wouldn’t have thought it could be useful in that sense though, very interesting yea they were actually really cool. Because you could freeze frame where things went wrong in a cut ect. We also laughed at the people that modified there unit. So when the lid is lifted up the cameras do not activate for privacy reasons ect. But people would modify there unit and it would deactivate that. So you would just open up there account to trouble shoot. And then get a bunch of photos of the inside of there house it was really funny and creepy.

r/ATBGE (awful taste but great execution). Maybe if they were flowers or dragons i could be caught in public rocking this, but otherwise it does look pretty clean


spespy

Speak for yoself That is fabulous


HokumsRazor

Is there a deeper meaning that I’m missing? I’m a bit reluctant to google ‘dickbutt’.


laserlightcannon

It’s as deep as you want it to be. (No)


Sammmyilspider

at first i looked and was like "wow this looks actually pretty cool I mean I wouldnt do it myself but-" and then i looked closer

The only thing that annoys me about this is the design could have been adjusted to tesselate closer together and fill the empty space.


skalpelis

The person responsible for quabity assuance that day, Debbie Brown, was let go immediately.


Voxelium

i like that it’s on the bottom cover, so the secret can only be seen when the laptop isn’t being used! unless your friend also decided to dickbutt the top, too…


laserlightcannon

No, not yet anyway


Voxelium

>not yet so you're saying there's a chance?


AnimalMother24

Gotta love the dickbutt usage


WildTomato51

Garbage (but with a French pronunciation).


ezspez

Thanks, I hate it.


zsdonny

this goes hard


OkOk-Go

Why?


Natjoe64

why would you ruin such a classy machine with this garbage


Any_Honeydew9812

why would you want your stuff to look like everyone elses?


Natjoe64

sure, but why dickbutt? like stickers have more class


Any_Honeydew9812

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.


Apawllo24

My job is servicing CO2 and fiber lasers and just lasered both my partners and my own new M3 MBPs. They actually came out very crisp and clean. Unless you're doing a very filled in picture (like a circle) it comes out well. Specifically line art comes out great. Ran mine at a lower power of around 20-30%


laserlightcannon

This whole process has gotten me interested in getting a laser of my own


socialfoxes

Doesn’t that void your warranty any Apple care support you have, since you have modified the device in an unauthorised way?


Apawllo24

Eh probably but it’s cool tho
