Still better than any of mine. I'm catching up though. ;)

Yes, with a ring of salt to keep the bad ju ju away. :)

I do 3D too. Now, who wants tea?

That's yet to be determined for sure... :P

It's easy mathematics. We know the awesomeness of -Rudel- so that's our constant. Then we just divide it by 1,000,000 and get 744mm. :)

Get your pitchforks here!! I've got short ones, long ones and pink ones!! Get your pitchforks here!!

Question for panel makers - engraving.. how do you do it? Have you tried without air assist? I find that my engravings turn out better without air but you would of course need it when cutting.

Varsågod. :) There are some pics in my build thread that shows the LED lighting but they are early tests.

LaserMax sheets are thin and LED's will shine through it easily. I used the regular Black/White and the green light has no problem going through. It's almost too bright at times.

Right now I just have some $5 toggles from Fry's Electronics. Very cheap and nothing fancy at all. I plan on upgrading them as I find the funds.

Since my job is where I have the laser I don't think so. ;) But if anyone would be interested I can easily make some. :)

Redid the Oxygen panel slightly and also finished cutting the Environment panels top layer. :)

Thanks Deadman!! I was considering doing that but ended up with this modular solution incase I decide on having static needles. Then I can just unscrew the rings and pop something in. Also, it makes troubleshooting easier but it looks less original. I will have to think some more about lowering it in to the panel which would look a lot better.

Thanks. Most of the text should be fairly close. It's the numbers inside the gauge and the Oxygen Supply Pressure that feels too small.

Here's my rendition of the Oxygen panel. It still needs a middle layer and some touches of paint. :) Text is too small though. :(

Someone just pointed out that I switched places on APU and inverter. :( Good thing I messed up the paint and was going to redo it anyway.

Looks great! I'll keep my eye on this one. :)

Yeah, I have about 6 or so more holes in my backplate to fill with LED's. Mostly on the left lower side. :)

At the moment I'm running four instances of 4 3v LED's in series so that makes 16. Probably overkill but I wanted some uniform coverage. Only got a 20 pack from Amazon and killed a few just messing around. I did find 150 of the same LED's on ebay for the same price I paid for these though so in a few weeks I should be drowning in them. :)

Here's the back light. About 80% done but I ran out of LED's. :( In person the panel isn't quite that bright though and there are some darker areas in the middle of Flood in EMER FLOOD but I can live with that. :)

I cut an Elec panel last week. Take a look: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=100364 I can easily run one more but this one is sized for me @ 5.7" wide but I could size it to your liking. I use LaserMax for the top layer so the text comes out nice and bright. Shoot me a PM for more details if you're interested. Ens

agrasyuk, have you considered cutting out the markings as stickers using a laser and a sticker sheet like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRIGHT-YELLOW-VINYL-Roll-Sheet-Adhesive-Sticker-Decal-/400163645297

The screws are just something I had in the office too keep the pieces together. There will be better ones on there soon. Painting is tricky but I have no doubt that good masking will make it pretty easy. What worries me is the LED placement and such. :) Right now there isn't even a framework. I wanted to make sure I could get the panels out in a decent quality before even trying and now I can use them to size the whole framework making the gaps between panels perfect. :)

Thanks! Something tells me I will need it. :D

Hello everyone! Started working on my pit today. This is my first cut and I went for the Electrical Power panel. :) Have a look. Please excuse the crappy photo. I'm too excited to wait until it's painted and put in my little lightbox.
