today i spent a good portion of the entire day trying to get this new triple LED meter kit just right. It might look easy in the end but there is a lot to this. Two different recessed area's, one for the lens to sit flush and one for the circuit board to sit flush, yet suspended just above the lens. Both cut down to the thousandth of an inch. The entire thing fits like a dream into a single din slot. I plan on making these out of ABS, multiple different colors including smoked, clear and even mirrored acrylic. I will also make plenty of these out of MDF so people can glass them in for custom jobs. Once i get good at this CNC i will make some aluminum face plates as well. I am sure i can do it i just have other stuff to finish first before i take that "plunge" (no pun intended) The lab. Although most of my designing ends up being on the PC closest to the CNC. I use both depending on how long i think i will be sitting before making the first cut. An EARLY proto using some smoked acrylic scrap i have laying around. It is starting to take shape! the smoked acrylic on the right is a scrap piece and it is what i used to develop this before actually moving it to the ABS sheet. The ABS sheet is 3/8 and not exactly cheap. I made a bunch of trim rings from yesterdays VU-Din project while i was busy designing today's piece. I made a lot of these moving stuff around like .003" at a time because shit was off just a little. OR maybe i decided i wanted to do a 2nd recess because i didn't want the board smashed up against the lens. Making sure it all went in took a few try's. everything snaps in really tight. If someone purchases this or otherwise get's their hands on one, i suggest you put a few drops of glue on the back just in case. But they are in very tight with a nice pressure fit.

i still have 2 90 square feet from the last black friday sell

I'm entered You let me know a couple days ago I was IN.

I resubmitted my entry and I tagged you guys in the picture and caption.

For the guys who don't have a free single din slot...the MDF version. You can glass it in somewhere else and paint it!
