JCook Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 pitbldr You mentioned you built the keys for the CDU. Can you describe what they are made of, how they were made, how you lettered them? This stuff is still very much techno-magic to me. I've spent about 8 hours today reading posts trying to understand this stuff. Thanks. John
pitbldr Posted January 1, 2012 Author Posted January 1, 2012 Sure John. They are made from a couple layers of clear acrylic that I laser cut to size and then glue together. The bottom layer is .125 thick and slightly larger than the top layer which is .25 thick. This creates a flange that keeps the button in place in the panel. I paint them white then black and engrave the letters/symbols on the laser.
