Like, Ditto. While I'm a long time modeler this is a place I haven't been. Even the oldest dogs if you will.

Lazer etching sounds intriguing.

But mine eyes are bigger than my tummy- so to speak. Grandiose plans for same- has yet to meet up with reality.

Haven't had much experience with lazer etch or where to find it. All of my builds have used brass photo-etch.

Glowforge; ugh.

Why is that? If you don't mind me asking.
