This is a laser-cut and etched faceplate I had made for my homebuilt guitar amp. (to celebrate finally deciding what all the knobs do.)
Blackplasma helped me design it, and some guys I know at the university fabricated it on their Mercury laser cutter It's made of clear acrylic and will be edge-lit by a bunch of LEDs, probably the same orange ones I tested it with.

Like the faceplate up there! I've never found an easy way to make decent front panels for projects.
A few pics from exactly one week ago...
don't know why, but I wouldn't mind going in here to explore. There's another one a mile or so down from here, and they both extend hundreds of yards into the depths of the hill. Closed for safety... I tried both ends, but they are well and truely bricked up.

Doesn't matter which way I go here, same thing both ways

Yay for bikes! I wish I got out on mine more in nice places like that, as opposed to just commuting on it
I got the panel partly assembled and lit up for a test. The main problem I have just now is that the plexi is too thick, so the pot shafts don't stick through it far enough to put the nuts on. If I used thinner plexi though, it'd be harder to glue the LEDs to it. I guess I should enlarge the holes and file the corners off the nuts, or something. But then if I try to enlarge the holes with a drill, I'll probably ruin it :(

Hi Steve
(know we'r jackin't th thread, but..)
Large holes in plexi are pain to drill with noraml drill. It's hard and brittle, sets drill to flutter and it smashes the plexi violently. (doh).
I used to enlarge some very large holes by drilling very slowly in backwards direction (lol!) using only direct friction to slowly grind acrylic. It takes ages, needs cooling periods and is worth only if you care about the piece of plexi very much.
I think it would be great if you started a new thread about this, as I'm very interested (hope others are) about potential more pics and details about that amp..
