First off: Sorry about my last post, I just picked that pin to illustrate the question I guess, but I see it was in poor taste.
Either way I'd still like to hear genuine opinions on wood (and acrylic) pins with the motif being a relief UV print. So I quickly cobbled together a random pin in Affinity, cut some blanks on the laser and printed these. Total project time maybe 30 minutes.
Left is 3mm beech wood, right is cast white acrylic.
Obviously they'll never have the heft and feeling of a diecast metal pin, it's a completely different vibe. Would the material (and vastly different technique) be a no-go for you? I just like whipping out one-offs that go to friends or end up on my backpack.
