Even after all these years, I still love watching this
Great job and great video! Thanks for sharing!!
great job! enjoyed the process!
Wow. A lot of LOVE went into that...
Stellar!!
Un vrai travail de Pro. Très clean. Bravo à vous
Merci beaucoup Jean-Clair ;-)
Perfect ❤
Awesome !!
I am in love. Why did you wait so long to be born....:(
Lovely video, impressively end result but what would you charge for this because that's a solid days work at least. is this actually profitable?
Thank you! I made this video to showcase the capabilities of the laser cutter. I eventually sold the piece for 300€. Funny thing is that I've made an extra 300€ from add revenue from YoutTube, which made me rethink the real value of that particular piece. I now own a machining business in which I've invested almost 200000€ and I have to work almost 60 hours a week just to cover the expenses to keep the doors open. This video is making money 365 days a year and I don't have to pay anything for it. I've come to the conclusion that I'm now in the wrong business. I can't live with the revenue from my youtube videos but I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I have kept making videos each week for the past five or six years. 🤔
that's like a 800.00 sign...
So good
very good job keep it up
What kind of glue is that you rolling on the wood?
А почему Вы внутренний борт не покрасили в белый цвет? Рассеивание было бы гораздо лучше.
This is really awesome. Just seen this for the first time.
Do you sell these with out the light? I'm into electronics but love to put just red in there.
Thanks
Love is not for sale. It is something you have to earn.😋
Excellent 👍👍👍💐💐💐
Thickness of MDF Sir?
Nice work! Great result and carefully made. Agree that it would be good to credit the wrist, Robert Indiana who created the image.
Great idea, but cost a small fortune in material and labor. Use metal for your casing. The way interior lit signs have been made forever.
Curious about what you sell the finished product for???
İf you make it with a soft wood it will be able to bend with wetting and after heating then you may color on or polish else... with my love.
Beautiful! But the interior must be painted white for the light :-)
I understand you did this for demo reasons, but I make these sort of signs regularly but go about it a little differently. I have found that edge lighting the acrylic is the better way to about it LED and construction efforts wise. The only thing is you need to find external frosted acrylic insuring that the inner edges are clear throughout.
+Tuffenough4u thanks for the constructive comment.
These day you can just use a 3D printer to make it. A whole lot easier

@@MatsushimaLighting how long you will printing it ? let me say toooo long ;)
Love the video - Well done. Was a distributor for Trotec/Trodat - am sure they would love to see this one. What do you think the final cost of materials was? Jim U.
такие бы работящие руки да ко мне бы на дачу...
and how expensive its was to make ?
What is the wattage of your laser and what was type of material/thickness(mdf?)?? How many passes did it take? Thanks
It has a 80w laser tube. We used 6mm for the main structure and 3mm for the front and back. It was cut in only one pass.
love it. any chance i can purchase the cad file so i can laser this sign on my laser? im in Australia and just doing it as a personal project
Hi Paul, I'm glad you like it. You can download the CAD file following the link in the description. Would be nice if you can share the process of creating yours. :-)
Thank you so much. i will share my efforts. i am going to do my nephew's name as a light box for his upcoming baptism, i just cant work out how to do the outline to get that 2 or 3mm egde. im new to all this and struggle with the design part.
Paul Rosasqui may i help you dear
Amazing and beautiful
Just Awesome LOVE it, thank you for sharing.
really impressed!
Is it a 25w laser ?
Perfect!
Biasa aja, dan ngga hebat kalau bisa bikin gituan krna pake alat yg canggih dan boros bahan.
Awesome!!!!
i lick nice job
ii whant ma gaming sing i got led strip need a freamj to make it i whant a game over sing or somthing
OSOM , OSOM,
Hello,
I just saw all your video! They are brilliant, bravo.
Your workshop makes me dream I confess I am jealous.
Oh sorry I translate with google I do not speak english.
I have 2 questions if I can afford.
What are the CNC milling models and your turning machine? We see these two machines on your marathon trophy video.
Your Speedy 300 with all accessories, filtration, camera for position etc ... what was your budget? It must exceed 50'000 € not?
Thank you in advance and a very good year 2017
Fred
+Frédéric Marca Hi thanks for your kind words and sorry for the delay.
Our milling machine is the F1210-C hs and the lathe is the D-6000. Both are from a manufacturer called wabeco in Germany. Since we bought them, we've found that you can find the exact same models from other vendors. As for the price for the Trotec Speedy 300, the only thing I can say is that it's closer to 40k€. We didn't order the filtration system and we don't consider having the camera option a must have. Other than that having purchased the speedy 300 has been one of the best business decisions since we started in 2014.
Hope this helps.
Nice piece. Is it licensed by Robert Indiana? ;)
Travis Clark • Correct. I believe it’s okay to make for personal use, but to sell these would would constitute intellectual property theft. Probably some gray area if the person posting profits from viewership. Nonetheless, Robert Indiana should have been given credit in the title or description, imho.
Aside from that, it’s a great instructional video.
Travis Clark • Also, I just realized your post was submitted before Mr. Indiana’s death in May of this year (2018).
I'm so happy. Now I have love in my life.
Wow, that was just amazing
What program you use for this?
how much? how much? how much? 😍💓👏👏👏
rightly the planet is going to hell
Thought that this video is awesome! Thank you for sharing. I too have a Speedy 300, and find that my mind gets crammed with ideas like this, with endless possibilities. Question for you - how do you price these items? Watching how much work, effort and the materials used within your video, how do you price to sell something like this?
Thank you. The Speedy 300 is the kind of machine you enjoy working with it everyday, we've been using it since January 2014 and we are still in LOVE. For a custom made project like this one we usually charge 40€/hour to make the cad files, minimum 150€. Then we add 60€/hour when cutting with the laser. For assembly and finishing work we charge 30€ per hour. And finally we add the costs of the materials and shipping costs. Those costs may vary, for instance if your order is above 1000€ we don't charge for the cad process. Hope this helps ;-)
That's great information. Thank you. Yes, I love my Speedy 300 and compared with the Chinese laser machine we originally purchased, it is an absolute dream to use. All the best with your future endeavours!
I VERY LIKE!!! SUPER!!!
Any office in india
good job bro
Awesome, but if you made it like 20% smaller you could have used all of that "waste" material as well. Would make a massive difference in time and cost with little real effect on the final product. You could cut two at once!
Hi, the design is that big because we wanted to show people how large one could make the sign using the speedy 300. We usually precut the stock material so that we don't generate too much waste. Unfortunately when we decided to make the video that's the only size we had available. Thanks for commenting :-).
Cool :) I just bought one of these too, can't wait to start playing with it :)
Err...working* with it lol
Good job 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I appreciate this video.
This would make a great eye catcher in a retail shop or in a bar. And I'm looking at this and seeing an illuminted acoustic guitar in my future!😃
Woooooooooow!!!
😍😍
Well done !
Thanks for the share.
+Oliv' Wood Creations glad you like it. Thanks!
Parabéns!
Súper !!
What size materials does this project take?
Do you offer services to usa?
Thank you
The CAD files are free to download. You can find them in the description box. It shouldn’t be difficult to find a workshop with a laser cutter that offer you the cutting service. I think the hole project would fit in a full 6x4 sheet of 1/4” MDF. For the front frame and back, we used 1/8” MDF. The total cost of materials should be around 70$ USD including the led strips, MDF, frosted acrylic and paint. Hope this helps.
@@lnelab2573 I does help, thank you very much I'll post pics when I can.
@@lnelab2573 thanks. What are the size of the sheet I saw you load into the machine? I am hoping to do that love what you do project as well
Tom Gray we had those precut to 28”x17”. That’s the maximum size it can be loaded into the machine and that is what we had on hand when we made the video.
@@aokimade thank you. That was s great video
what leds name or type?
Rgb
mantep
أكثر من رائع
Well, I would make this but I don't have a laser cutter
There's this stuff called "money"-- if you save up enough of it, you can exchange it for things...
Bravo
Why the hillbilly music?
Easy when you very expensive equipment to do it for you, let's see you do this by hand.
you mean the philadelphia love park sign
we invented that
If I waste materials like you guys, I am out of business within a month!
My first reaction was, oh they are making 20 of them? I would like to know a good way to make the side pieces for this design tho. Any good ideas?
Lots of work and waste of materials and time
I appreciate your concern but when using a laser cutter you must take into account that there's no such thing as scrap material because you can reuse every remaining piece in future projects until you have almost nothing left. As a business owner you shouldn't consider promoting your abilities as a waste of time.
Awesome project. Don't stress ... people generally have nothing to say online. We love our Trotec Speedy 400 Flexx and this gave me some ideas.
Thanks, I didn't mean to sound stressed, just trying to clarify for those who haven't used a laser cutter before. After the Speedy 300 we bought a 120W CO2 Speedy 400, it's an awesome machine. We also have a Promarker 300 fibre laser so I can imagine the capabilities your Speedy 400 has. Would love to know what are you going to create after getting inspired by this video ;-).
yea while you make the channel part , you wast a lot of material and time, acrylic , gluing, cutting, sanding wuhh
