Time to start a list for Batch 3.
List format:
Use multiple order lines even if you want repeats of the same design.
I'm investigating an alternative fixing screw, so it's likely that this batch will be supplied with 30mm long A4 stainless steel Torx screws in place of the 35mm long anodised 7075T6 Allen key type. Extra strength (particularly in the tool socket) for an extra couple of grams.
Once there are enough orders to go ahead, I'll take payment
Types:
1 = engraved
2 = engraved then anodised
3 = anodised then engraved
4 = anodised then laser etched
If you want something other than simple lettering (or you're a typography tart who wants simple lettering done just so), create your artwork based on the attached template. Bear in mind that the template is at 1200dpi, but the rotary engraving process uses a cutter about 0.5mm wide, so any features smaller than about 20 pixels wide are likely to fail. The etching laser will actually create features down to 1 pixel wide at 1200dpi, but as that's about a quarter of a hair's breadth you won't be able to see them, and there's a conversion process between your raster image design and the final output which will reduce the resolution anyway. TL;DR - don't get too fine with your design.
