I’d be looking at using MDF and filling in the depth with a coloured epoxy resin
My badges are no bigger than 600x600 so that would be plenty
Many thanks

Hi Pinz Wellcome to the forum.
You will need to be able to design your projects before you can do any machining, so you need to get to grips with a CAD/CAM program, a lot of the guys use Fusion 360 and this is free for home use, have a look through some of the build logs and see if you have the practical ability to make one, don't wory too much about the electronics as the guys on the forum are VERY helpfull, don't jump into a purchase until you have posted what you intend to buy(there are some expensive less than adequate machines on the market) Enjoy the Forum.
Regards
Mike
