We found that the laser etching machine we own, which can etch in metal and wood, is also able to nicely etch into the black plastic back panel of our DE1XL/DE1XXL machines.
Hazard Coffee Company https://www.instagram.com/hazardcoffeecompany/ has three of our DE1XXL machines (actually, one prototype DE1XXXL too) and to thank them, I made a free sample, plus their logo looks super cool this way.
We're offering to make a custom panel for USD$99. The price includes working with our staff to get your logo, optimize the placement and size with you. Only currently available in black. Only currently available with the DECENT logo on top, until we get a new order of back panels, which will include some with no DECENT logo on them, so that we can then do anything.
The “print” quality is slightly “coffee colored” on the black panels (slightly brown) and also a bit “brass” colored. We can't unfortunately etch on our white plastic back panels, with the machine we have, as that requires a different laser. If there's some demand for custom black panels, we'll go ahead and spend the money on a machine that can do white panels too.
