Purchased a $15 bamboo case from Amazon, and engraved the names of our grandkids on the back for SWMBO. Came out pretty decent for a first attempt:



Still need to get around to engraving the BGE handle.

    There's a market for that personalized product.  Great idea and delivery.

    I’d need a 4 (or would it be 5) axis machine to do the side cuts for the buttons.

    Sure. Just need to know which model phone she has and what you’d like for a design.

    Good ask.  I wondered why he wanted one with your kids' names on it.

    Yes, you need more axis machines now!

    John’s probably confusing a 5 axis mill with a 5 axis sex swing ( or is that 5 input? )

    I'm guessing you earned enough points with this sweet gesture, that you could easily swing the " I have no idea how this got here!" defense if/when a new piece of gear should find its way to your doorstep :smiley:

    You can go old school and manually reorient the housing in your tooling jig.  Will take longer and increase your touch labor, but it is possible.  Maybe hire a local kid to move the parts around.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    I don’t think I have enough Z-axis height on my machine to do that.

    One must know which lines are not to be crossed.  Then, buy an IP... which is mostly used to cook rice :smiley:
