I finally got something ready to sell!

On ebay my shipping is “No International”, but if you want one shipped outside of the US, Email me with your info, and, as with ANY request, I’ll see if we can make it happen!

That’s a great idea & I will have to get me one. I like the one that says Hide all raw materials! hahaha.

I second the QR code idea.

I’ll have to get one off you in the near future (as $ permits).

3

Just for an artistic idea, laser an explosion hole into the shirt. Then put an arrow & say something like “this is what happens when you have a family member with a K40 Laser”.

4

That’s a really good idea, I’ve got to do some experimenting, maybe cut the hole and seal it from the back with iron on style tape…

5

I hate to show my ignorance of the high tech world, but what IS a QR code?
Is that the square barcode deal? If so How do I create one?, That would be a great addition…

6

An example of a QR code is something like this:

It looks like a bunch of random pixels. But it actually follows a pattern. You use a generator to create the QR code which then when scanned with a QR reader (e.g. your mobile phone via the camera & an app) it provides the user with a direct link to a URL. So, basically you can point your phone at one of these QR codes & it will automatically load the corresponding website that goes with that code.

7

@Scott_Marshall I will create one for the K40 URL, then I will share it with you once done. I have an addon for Adobe Illustrator that does it.

8

Thanks for the link Peter, I’ll be adding that on for sure. Seems it ought to cut in Transfer vinyl well enough…I could even add it to the existing shirts.

9

@Yuusuf_Sallahuddin_Y
Thanks, you guys are great.

I’ll see what’s involved in getting it into the Cutter CAD, I may have to draw it, but that’s not a big deal, once done, it will just copy into each drawing.

I’ve got a friend with a smartphone who can test it. I’m one of those guys with a four function phone…

10

@Scott_Marshall I’ve just created one & you should be able to access here. SVG format. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzi2h1k_udXwalhfRjM1ckdwZkE/view?usp=sharing

Although, let me verify that it works properly before you go cutting/transferring to shirts. I’d say you want to make it about 1 inch square minimum too, to assist with scanning, else people will have to put their camera within personal boundary zone haha.

edit: NOPE, that one isn’t working. Getting a message “the requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know”

11

@Yuusuf_Sallahuddin_Y
Can you send one in .jpg or .bmp?, I don’t have a lot of vector friendly software - yet… - never mind, I was able to export it. I’ll have to draw it over the image and then I’ll have it in a format I can put on a shirt or decal.

12

@Scott_Marshall Four function phone? You mean: ring, answer, text & hammer? Haha.

I’ve just tested the code on my QR reader & it is giving the correct URL, according to K40 group main url at the top, but it is not working when the browser loads it. Once I figure out what is going on, I’ll send a BMP version. JPG will get compression artefacts which could make it more difficult to recreate.

13

It should be OK, I’m going to draw in in large scale, like a square foot, then reduce it. I know it’s got to be square, so I can keep the aspect ratio locked as I go, once shrunk, it should be right on. Those readers must be pretty forgiving, especially if they’ll read off a shirt, which I’d expect they will just fine.

14

I think a funny warning on the back would be cool… “Warning: Do not look into laser with remaining eye!”

15

@Scott_Marshall Yeah, you just need to be within a certain focusing distance. I would prefer not to have people putting their camera within an arms length of my body, but for the purposes of trade fairs etc, 2 inch would probably be a good size.

There is a bunch of versions in there. Unfortunately I can’t seem to get it to work linking directly to the main page for the K40 Group (https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/118113483589382049502).

But I can get it to link directly to the members page (https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/118113483589382049502/members).

Everytime it scans & loads the link for the K40 group main page it throws a 404 error. May just be my phone though (I have a Lumia Windows phone).

16

@Scott_Marshall I’ve posted a specific post asking if people can test the QR code that links directly to the main page since it is returning 404 error for me. But the actual URL that has been put in the address bar on my phone is exactly what I see in the laptop address bar for this group.

17

+1 on the CO2 one

18

Check my new post with the cad drawn version, it should be dead on geometrically, if I didn’t get dyslexic by the end there, I’ll be seeing .500" black squares awhile…

2 hrs ago I didn’t know what a QR was, now I know more about how they work then 99% of the people out there. Gotta love Tech!

19

@Scott_Marshall Funny that you mention the seeing squares for a while, as I’ve done some artwork called Kufi Squares (& other’s that are based on the Japanese gago-in style artist name stamps) & they’re very similar to a QR code in that they’re basically made up of a bunch of squares either on/off in the grid. When you’re zoomed in super close to draw Kufi square phrases (in Arabic) clockwise in a spiral it can really do your eyes in.

@Scott_Marshall what would this look like on a t?
