    I messaged a few YouTubers back when I first made these, she was the only one that said she'd make a video with them, big props for helping the small guys!

    Guess what arrived today? :)

    If I'm honest, looking back at the pictures in post 244, I thought the etching would be deeper and more visible since it looks like there's more of a discernible edge to them.

    At certain angles they look great!

    20220115_170222.jpg

    But if you go just off of that, it's a lot more subtle, almost disappearing.

    20220115_170009.jpg

    Was I "expecting too much" or is the etching on these shallower than intended? Either way, they'll do the job they were designed to do. :fistbump:

    I lowered the power a bit from what I used to use, that way the texture still shows and it has less of a raw look in the etching area. If you are wanting the etching deeper I can definitely do another set at higher power for you!

    I don't want to be a pain in the ass but I certainly wouldn't be opposed to one that was deeper.

    :sorry:

    No worries! Others may have had the same thought but didn't say anything, I'll up the power a bit and try to find the sweet spot where I get depth and keep some texture

    Not enough bandwidth on the internet to list.
    I want the TRD logo, too! I'll mention it on the PayPal transaction if that's satisfactory?

    EDIT: @sphinxbccp PM'd with request. PayPal transaction gave no option.
