Progress on new control panel
Hi folks,
Here are some photos of the progress I have been making on the new control panel for the machine.
I did this on my laser cutter and engraver which I am fortunate to have. I started with a 1/4 inch piece of opaque acrylic just because I had it laying around scrap from another project. I laser cut the shapes out. And then I gave it a good key with a green scotchbrite pad and painted it with black satin Krylon Fusion paint for plastics. Then I engraved the piece. I then filled in the engraved part with white paint and wiped away the excess with a wet towel. The paint it still a bit soft right now so I think I will let it set up a day before I start the wiring up task.
