frontpanels

2005-04-10 by Dirk Vanden Berghe

Hi,
 
I made a range of new frontpanels like this:
Drawing in AutoCad - no need to export 'cause AutoCad 2005 can do great grafical stuff too. Used the same base drawing to have aluminum panels of 1.5mm laser cut. Payed 40 Euro for almost 1 sq.meter of panels.
Printout of the frontpanel on a laserjet. Doubled sided adhesive foil to stick it onto the aluminum panel. Last but not least, a few layers of PCB varnish sprayed over the panelprint. Be patient. not too heavy on the spray, or it will mess up the acrylic adhesive.
For own use it looks decent and is cheap.
If you want a copy of the AutoCad file, just ask.

rgds,
 Dirk
