4 great wedding ring carving ideas you need to know

Read our article to learn the best wedding ring engraving ideas that are practical and better than traditional rings. introduce A wedding is a celebration of love. That's true. What better way to mark this special occasion than to engrave something special, unique, and meaningful on your wedding ring? Carving your wedding ring will add a personal touch to the special occasion, and if you happen to have laser modules and engraver at home, now is a good time to use it for that reason. Here are four wedding ring carving ideas you can use with your laser cutter and carving hardware.

Special dates and coordinates One of the most popular ideas for carving is to include important dates or coordinates. This could be your wedding date, the day you met, or it could be another memorable day in your relationship. Another idea is to carve the coordinates of a special location, such as the place where you first met, got engaged, or your wedding venue. The use of laser modules ensures the precision and accuracy of such engraving, resulting in clear and detailed engraving.

Personalize messages and offers Another good idea is to carve a personalized message or quote that has special meaning to you and your partner. It could be a line you both love, a line in a song or poem, or even a quote from a book or movie that's important to your relationship. For example, if you and your partner have a favorite song, you can carve a line over the lyrics. Or, maybe your partner is a very influential person. If so, make a quote from a movie you both love that we think will make your ring extra special. You might also consider carving a phrase in a language that means something to you, such as "Amore eterno" (eternal love in Italian) or "Pour toujours" (eternal in French), which are very strong lines carved with laser modules.

Symbols and ICONS One of our favorite wedding ring engraving ideas is to add a visual element to your ring engraving. These can be symbols that are meaningful to your relationship, such as the mind, the infinity symbol, or even a custom symbol where you both have a special connection. For example, you could carve a heart symbol to show love, or an infinity symbol to show endless love and commitment. If you and your partner share an interest or hobby, you can carve a symbol related to it. For example, if you both love to travel, a small airplane icon might be a cute and unique carving idea. If you're both fans of a particular series or franchise, you can include a small icon associated with it as a subtle nod to your shared interests.

Initials engraved The emblem and initials are a classic and elegant way to personalize your wedding ring with a laser module. This method involves engraving the first letter of your name individually or interleaved into the ring. To do this, start by using graphic design software to create a digital version of the initial or floral word and experiment with different fonts and permutations to find the best-looking one. After all, this is an important day. Once finished, import this design into the software suitable for your laser engraver and cutter and follow the instructions of the machine OEM. No matter how many years have passed, the initials will always remind your significant other. conclusion Carving your wedding ring is a great way to add a personal touch and create a lasting memory of your special day. To make sure such gifts are made perfectly, laser modules and engraving machines come in handy. To get the best results from the above wedding ring engraving concept, we recommend choosing Ortur's latest laser engraving and cutting machines, LM3 and H10 laser products. Both come with a wide range of accessories (such as the Ortur Y-axis rotary chuck for laser modules) and have some serious futures. The quick focus stick gives you accurate jewelry carving, as well as a safe air cooling system with dual fans of up to 10,000 RPM to keep items cool and clean. You can also get guide blinds and a 20-watt powerful laser to do the job.

New toy for the gats - Steiner DBAL D2

So initial impressions - I knew about the problems specific to Steiner units going into this like the prolapsing plussy(tm) possibility or the general fat fuckedness of the D2 specifically, and knowing what to expect has definitely made it a bit easier to settle into The weight is the main and obvious drawback and the remote cable ports work just fine if you aren't gripping and ripping like a moron.

There's still a few things about these I'm not a huge fan of, but mostly just related to the lack of aftermarket There aren't really any alternative mounts for these short of modifying existing ones to fit The availability of spare parts (namely spare lens caps) is practically nonexistent And the fire button on the back, while in an incredibly convenient position, I find rather mushy, no nice tactile click, and it's such a small button with a high guard that it's annoying to press, especially if your fingernails are any less than freshly cut

THAT BEING SAID These are as close to a military FP laser you can get that you can actually take out repair services for and that makes all the difference for me The illuminator seems nice and crisp and has a pretty wide range of focus The fact that I can zero this thing in the daytime using the visible laser which the IR laser is slaved to is a great benefit Not to mention there are bolt-on front sight blades for these lasers to use in place of a typical FSB or folding front sight

tl;dr: Pros:

Powerful af for a civ laser

Good overall form factor

You can actually get customer service for these things

Cons:

fucking heavy lol

lack of alternative rail mounts

self-removing crane ports (if you're dumb)

For frame of reference, an ancient 1990's AIM-1/DLR somehow weighs less than the DBAL D2 lmao

[random2908]

You know, sometimes I’m grateful that my first summer in my graduate lab, at the impressionable age of 22, my main assignment was to design and build a full closed-loop water cooling system, with a chiller whose heat exchanger had to also be connected to the building cold water system (which, if you screwed it up, had enough water flow that you could flood the whole lab). And I gained familiarity with all the main types of hose, tube, and pipe connectors and how to install them.

I also learned the very important life lesson of, if all else fails, a blow torch can solve nearly any problem. I think I solved three different problems with a blow torch that summer.

No home plumbing I might undertake will match the disasters I ran into that summer.

Ukrainians Showed How They Take Down Shahed Drones Using Cheap Small Rockets - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/ukrainians-showed-how-they-take-down-shahed-drones-using-cheap-small-rockets-technology-org/

Ukrainians Showed How They Take Down Shahed Drones Using Cheap Small Rockets - Technology Org

The defenders of Ukraine showed how they hunt down Iranian Shahed drones launched by the Russian invaders. These drones have a long range and have been terrorizing Ukrainian cities since the end of 2022. Now Ukraine has tools to take them down and uses them to great effect.

And the Shahed-136 is going down. AGR-20 APKWS rockets make a quick work from Russian drones. (Screenshot)

The Shahed-136 is a relatively small target for larger air defence systems. Launching a large missile towards a small drone is simply uneconomical. Ukraine cannot afford to waste its best air defence capabilities on loitering munitions. Ukrainians usually hunt them with large anti-aircraft machine guns, autocannons and even simple automatic rifles. However, there are also cheap rockets that are perfect for this job.

The defenders of Ukraine demonstrated how an AGR-20 APKWS (Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System) rocket launched from the VAMPIRE system shoots down the Shahed drone.

👀🇺🇦 This is how Shahed in the Odesa region shot down with the help of “Vampire” pic.twitter.com/5tiBize256

— MAKS 23 🇺🇦👀 (@Maks_NAFO_FELLA) March 11, 2024

The APKWS is quite an interesting weapon. Although officially this rocket has been in service since 2012, it is not an entirely new weapon. In fact, the APKWS is a conversion kit for the Hydra 70 unguided rocket that transforms it into a laser-guided, high precision weapon. Generally speaking, a control module with fold-out control winglets is inserted between the rocket’s warhead and its engine.

The APKWS is one of the cheaper and smaller laser-guided rockets in the world and certainly in Ukraine. It is estimated that one such rocket costs about 22 thousand dollars. And it is possible to make a lot of them because there are so many Hydra 70 rockets. Ukrainian helicopters often fire Hydra 70 unguided rockets at Russian positions.

Another advantage of APKWS is its relatively small size. As the number in the name Hydra 70 indicates, it is a 70 mm rocket. The warhead is small, which is good for hunting the Shahed, because collateral damage risk can be significantly reduced.

The Hydra 70 is, figuratively speaking, like the Grad system for aircraft. A helicopter flies in, fires a volley of such rockets and they rain an uncontrollable hail on the enemy positions. The APKWS module turns the Hydra 70 into a guided anti-aircraft rocket. And the VAMPIRE launcher makes it possible to launch APKWS from the ground.

The VAMPIRE is a four-tube APKWS rocket launcher and a small sensor turret. The VAMPIRE is commonly installed on trucks and lighter vehicles. The same truck can carry ammunition to soldiers and shoot down drones or low-flying slower aircraft along the way.

Ukraine will likely need more tools to defend itself from the Russian drone attacks. Anti-aircraft guns are great, but rockets in many cases provide a more reliable defence.

EvolutionGear IS-EG NGAL Laser Aiming Module

For those of you that shake your fist to the heavens cursing L3Harris for not releasing a civilian version of their famed NGAL, you're probably at least tangentially familiar with EvolutionGear -

They do the OEM parts manufacturing for InvisibleSight, who offers a higher quality level of QC, but is infamous for their astonishingly long lead times.

EvolutionGear sells the 'cheaper' version of the IS-EG NGAL which you can buy direct from them if you wanna bypass the year-long inspection wait and don't need all the different options offered through InvisibleSight.

Before I get into the details of the unit itself, I'd like to clear up a lot of myths about EG - the common consensus about them is that they're known for not shipping their items, but from my own research, I really could only find an evidence case of one from a dude who was dumb enough to order during Chinese New Year and threw a tantrum when it took longer than expected to receive a tracking.

I opted for the more expensive UPS shipping option, and while it was kinda awkward having to wait for a live representative to email me a paypal invoice rather than going though a site-based payment portal, I didn't have any issues ordering from them and everything arrived within a week of receiving a tracking.

Here's where I'll get into the initial impressions.

The body of the unit is forged 6061 aluminum, and unlike the Somogear NGAL's, these actually have recoil lugs integrated into the body with a proper L3Harris-style screw clamp, as opposed to the crappy PEQ15 clamp the Somo units have.

The selector switch, I find somewhat mushy (due to the integral o-ring added for waterproofing), but still tactile enough to satisfy me, and the button has a positive enough click for my needs as well. The rear focus knob for the IR illuminator is a little bit stiff, but no major red flags about it.

Another nice feature of the EG NGAL is the fact it includes actual diffuser caps whereas the Somo units are only provided with blackout covers. The visible potting of the unit seems very well-done and I'm definitely excited to see how well this holds up considering EG touts this as a 5.56-capable laser where Somogear continues to scream "airsoft only" from the rooftops.

The unit included two different sets of stickers (one laminated, one not, interestingly) as well as a pressure pad and an eggcrate-padded plastic storage case.

The pressure pad is where I'm going to focus a majority of my initial critique.

On the website, EvolutionGear claims they offer the option of an LA23 Plug or an ATPIAL Crane Plug version. I triple checked that I'd be receiving a crane-ported NGAL, and the customer service acknowledged this.

The switch they provided is an LA23 version and upon testing the port with a surplus Insight PEQ-2 Pressure Pad, there was no function from the laser, meaning my request was completely disregarded and I'd been given an LA23-ported version instead.

Not a humongous deal to me, but it would have been nice to have a wider choice of aftermarket switches instead of proprietary ones that cost 100-300 fucking dollars.

Anywho, the switch they include is what I'd describe as solidly "meh" - it feels like a very cheap silicone, the click is positive enough, but the cable is visibly hot glued in and it's just left me wishing that Somogear offered their fantastic Modbutton Lite knock-offs a la carte.

Might email them later to see if I can get one.

The build it resides on presently is my FDE A2 Retromod, and despite being an offset beam unit, I still find the lasers are just a little too close to a standard FSB for my comfort.

I plan on possibly doing a URG-I build out of my Colt LE6920 in the near future, so this is definitely not the build the EG NGAL is staying on forever.

Later I'll give it a look under NODs and see how that goes.
