This is just the matte acrylic prototype. After i finish the custom graphics I’m going to get one machined in black anodised aluminium with matching black knobs. It’s fair to say i got carried away with my spring cleaning.
Oh and I’ve got a white on black screen going in there and some white leds in a couple of key spots.
looks great. will you be cutting/cnc it by yourself? or are you using a service? will you be applying graphics by yourself too? all this questions are arising from the fact that i am curious about other people’s tool/process chain.
also it would be super generous of you if you could make the model/measurements of your the pictured panel available for the forum community.
I’ll be using a service for the final product, this one came off the laser cutter at work. As for the graphics, they will simply be etched into the the black anodising revealing the silver underneath. Dick Malibu did a beautiful job of this face plate already using screen printed graphics but I like a project and it means that I can customise to my hearts content.
Thanks. It’s a boring process all that measuring but hey, I need a pointless little project to keep me sane! I’ll be sure to post a photo of the finished product.
Not as yet. I’ll see how much the cnc folks charge me for the first one and I’ll let you know if it’s feasible. Custom graphics may also be something I’d look at if you wanted to provide your own logo or what have you. Can’t imagine there’s a tonne of demand though! I’ll get back to you in a few weeks…
