Steam Logo coasters made with schools laser cutter/engraver

I am currently creating a project for my coursework in electronics and it involves using schools laser cutter/engravers (Gravograph Ls100 and Gravograph ls900) and basically the cut that i was doing in acrylic for my casing left a center piece that was excess and would be thrown away. I decided that this was a waste so i created a steam logo vector and engraved it into the acrylic. the results were decent however i had alignment issues due to a printing error so the logo is not quite centered but it still looks awesome.

Edit: Ive decided that because i have more acrylic pieces to cut, this is beta v1.0bTcTZOh.jpgt7SWIoB.jpgkXYGKxp.jpg

That's so fucking cool, you should really sell them! (and when you do, give LTT members discounts)

I wanted to do something similar to this a few years ago, only my DT teacher wouldn't let me use the laser cutter to do it... Never did like him much after that. 

 

Looks good.

My DT teacher is the complete opposite, he advised me on how to make it better and supported me doing it !

Acrylic sheets aren't too expensive. If you were only making like 4-6 coasters, I bet you could get by on a budget of $15. :)

Yeah it may be a good idea if i just say there for personal use however if i mentioned they were for resale they would not be happy as they are reasonably strict with selling things in school even food/drink.

Could try donating some of the proceeds to them? Or finding a machine that you could like rent.
