CuriousOrange Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hey all I'm looking for recommendations on engraving Lego bricks. I've seen a few videos on Youtube (like this one and this one) and I'd like to have a go at it myself. Has anyone here done it and maybe has some advice to share- like which machine they used? A quick Google shows that the Roland EGX-350 is popular for doing this- actually I found this forum by searching for one for sale.

kobblers Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 I've engraved them in the past using a normal carbide ''A' cutter and then filled them with wax. Not one to boast but I built this from scratch as there are no plans, I even built the lorry from a picture of my mate's truck (I engraved the reg plate - that's how I know about Lego engraving). This thing is just like a real funfair ride as it comes apart into 10 pieces and fits on the back of the trailer it's mounted on and also into the other trailer at the back. Took me nigh on 3 months to design and then build - it was a nightmare figuring out the gearing and how to assemble and disassemble it. Rick.

beware Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 One of my customers exclusively engraves lego. You can make jigs with the bricks to hold the bricks in place well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Express Engraving Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 I`ve engraved lego bricks with my RMI UM-1 YAG laser marker. Direct contrastful marking, no clamps, no jigs, no movement, no contact between the object and the laser and most importantly no mess. 6 seconds per piece Easy peasy Just have upgraded to a bigger machine so I am selling my UM-1 for £6000 kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
