Could be good for knives and custom gun stocks/barrels.

Wonder if I’ll ever see an Ausvarmint logo on a rifle or knife...

It’s a toy. It doesn’t have the power required to mark steel.

I noticed the print area is constrained but that's too be expected with this design.

Could be good for knife scales and rifle stocks...

My big question is how long does a basic design take, noting it appeared to be USB powered and sections of the video may have been sped up?

Oh, and it appears to be a kickstarter program so they may not be in production yet....and I'm sure ABF/Auspost will have something to say about the laser power.

PS. Who wants to volunteer for an Ausvarmint laser tattoo?
