Earl Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I just came up with two new ideas today that I should hopefully be able to have cut out here shortly=) I hope you guys like them. They will both be around 2"x2" unless someone thinks that is too big. Here they is, let me know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I like the state one better. 2' might be just little bit large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 That's what I was thinking=P Maybe 1.5" And I like the state one aswell. Could someone do a .jpeg to .dxf conversion for me. All of the free converters are blocked at work and I wanna get these made ASAP so that I can polish them.

rampelsauce Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 How about the state one with BMW Helvetica as the font? Possibly a roundel cut in the bottom blank space. Just putting it out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 The sky is the limit if I can find someone to convert these:P I found a site that will do the conversion, but I'm waiting on an email. I'm excited to make these for the people attending. I'll polish them up and add epoxy for color if anyone could like when I have a finished product to show off.

Earl Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 So the only legit site that I found that could convert the wisconsin image wants $12.50 to do it. Since these are free to cut, I'm going to go ahead and have it converted=) If the conversion doesn't turn out, then I will just have to eat $12.50 which isn't a deal at all. Lol I hope I can get these done asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 I just ordered a set of 250 (qty) business cards to start out with for placing on BMW's that we stumble across. I put a " You have been spotted by_____" area for us to put our name and number or our screen name. I can order more if we like how these look. They say they will be at my house in 21 days, so lets hope they turn out good and come a little sooner=P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.e46.330i. Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 did you get the keychain converted to a program yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I have them converted but now they are just tweaking it and the operator at work is being a weiner. lol I'm unsure if this one is correct, because I can't view .dxf file on my computer, but can someone see if it is made just like the wisconsin above? I can email the file to you if you can view .dxf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.e46.330i. Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 i could take it to work. i could get a laser operator to see what he could do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Do eet nick=) itd help a lot. I hope it turned out, otherwise I have to contact the company that converted it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.e46.330i. Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 okay. umm.. can you put it on a cd and i can come to your house and pick it up one day this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystere30 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 i want keychainsssssssssss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.e46.330i. Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 for me to get it cut out on a laser it would have to be converted to a program if you know what i mean. not a dxf file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 The program is just clicking lines and telling it what to do. Lol Is the .dxf correct to the picture that I posted, or did you not get a chance to look at it? I want keychains and badges too, but the OP at work by me won't answer back on my messages due to the drawing being wrong too many times.

nick.e46.330i. Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 this is what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampelsauce Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I'd take one if it was in BMW Helvetica. That font looks like a high school football teams font of choice. No offense, its cool, Im just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 ^Funny thing is that is what I was going for=P I like that retro sort of font that was always cheesy popular for letterman jackets or state sweaters. I can make one in BMW helvetica for you possibly. I had to pay to get that one above converted to a .dxf from a .jpg, and now the operator by me is being a huge douche. lol I'll try talking to him today. Nick, do you know what program you guys are using to view that? Maybe the operator here is using some crazy outdated program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Agreed on the highschool style font, looks wrong to me. I would love one in normal block font, or something that is a little more tame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 If I do a sort of helvetica font, I have to get someone to convert it to a .dxf again. But I don't want to pay for it this time=P lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.e46.330i. Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 [ATTACH]192[/ATTACH]how bout a keychain like this? and its already in a dxf file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Hey nick, does the operator just need to know what I want done? Such as what should be etched and what should be completely cut out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.e46.330i. Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 on the one i made? or yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Mine=P lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.e46.330i. Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 well. when you make a program for it, it would tell the laser what to do. just having the dxf file open and clicking on the line isnt a program for the laser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
