Cody,
I see the images. I'm not sure about others. I edited the post and made all of the images a link to the images as well. I don't know if this will help you, but it's worth a try. :/ I use Internet Explorer 7.0 on Windows XP.

I can see them on my pc at home, which is running XP and IE 6. My shop machine is running XP and IE 7.
Go figure.
At any rate, those are some cool ideas!! Thanks for sharing!

I am running XP nd IE7 and are having no problems.
I wonder if it is a level of security thing. XP at times is flaky even with two computers with the same updates, one does one thing, one another, duh.

I'm spending my Sunday afternoon at the shop today (doing some inventory stuff), and I thought I'd take a look today.
Like magic, the pics are there today.
I don't know why....nothing has changed except the date. :/

A picture truly does say a 1,000 words. When you said you bent the acrylic, I was picturing a completely different scenerio. I'm seeing the photos and what a great idea you came up with. That would work for a large variety of odd shaped items.
Like you, the dumbells are one of the few items I haven't taken on. What machine are you engraving these on?
Great job taking on this task. You should notify every baby gift store in your area (and beyond) that you can do these as you are one of the few that will.

What is funny is that I came up with the idea on my drive over to pick up a replacement for the one that slipped on me.
I'm doing these on a New Hermes IS400 Volume. Any machine with a deep vice and enough clearance and spindle travel will work.
If the vice doesn't have a V-slot, a person may need to route a V slot in a couple pieces of wood, or he or she may want to design the jig as more of a W, having three bends.

I couldn't tell from the picture, but if you are not using it, I would recommend thin strips of adhesive backed rubber or cork which will help keep the rattle and other similar items from slipping up/down while in the vice.... :D

Steve,
I agree with your recommendation. I would also add that the best design would be something made of metal, not acrylic. I just couldn't beat the price of acrylic scrap. :-)

Since I mentioned using Legos for jigging, I thought I'd include a couple of images of this in use. One attached image shows the jig before loading and the other shows a load of 24 2" cubes with laser tape applied before burning the masks. We set up a Corel document with all 24 locations calibrated to the position of the jig and we simply hit the button and did other things while the laser burned the masks. Total time to burn was 18 minutes each load. We burned, blasted, packed and shipped 100 of them Friday afternoon by 4:30.
You'll notice the Lego board is scorched, but that comes from using it in our sub-surface machines not the Epilog.
