Plexiglass printing

    Hello everyone.

    I'm really sorry if there was already a similar topic but I couldn't find any answer that could satisfy me.

    Now I know that the Title does not comply with "PC GAMING" but please take a min and if you can help me give me a hint.

    I am looking for a place near Cork, that can actually "Burn" or "Print" a custom text on/in a piece of plexiglass without charging me a fortune.

    I'm willing to build a new project pc for my wife with this case "MasterBox Q300L", unfortunately, or fortunately, there is no PSU shroud, and here is my idea to make a shroud from plexiglass, print/burn a text and make it as kind of personal PC case.

    Any help and ideas will be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Good idea but sadly not Cork but these lads could help.

    I think whatever they charge will be the going rate if they can do it.

    Would a custom sticker not have same effect? probably a lot cheaper.

    I have thought of a sticker but I'm afraid it'll start getting off etc.
    Looks like I'll have to rethink the whole build :(

    If you buy a sticker from a printer they would prefer if you got more than one :)

    Access do engrave, you will have to call them anyway as when you place an order via the website it ends in a phonecall anyway.

    stencil + spraypaint or sandblast could be an option

    but dont think a sticker would go anywhere imo

    Hmmm....

    TBH haven't think about stencil and spray...
    Any ideas about non-smelly sprays (Wife has asthma) wouldn't like the new project to become her nightmare.
    :confused:
    Thanks again

    You could always try Vistaprint for one offs.

    I used one of their window decals with my own design for a custom made control panel

    Looks like I'll go with a vinyl wrap on the plexiglass as it's either too expensive (70E) for the custom engraved or I cant make the size of the decal.
    So I'll go with vinyl wrap and I'll cut the artwork with the precision knife!

    Thanks for the help here.
