Ok they are officially available now! Two versions are ready to ship. I did a smooth face ABS black and an MDF version for people that wan't to either glass it in or paint it. See if you buy the MDF version, all you have to do is glass in the first ring. When finished, the middle ring fits right in and it is done! The are both ready for primer/paint! We are having a 20% off sale for Black Friday so it might be a good time to get the entire VU-Din WITH the kit!

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!

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.

Don't mind paying took time plus material.

Custom colors including clear and smoked acrylic coming soon too...

that's cool you guys are ORDERING when i said i would give you one. I mean they are for sale because i won't stop someone from buying them if they want one because they do cost me $ to make. But ill tell you what, if you guys who purchased this mess yours up installing it, email me, i will replace it on the house! Thanks again!

^^^ Agreed. Rest is 24+ hours. Shit, I turn the key off on my truck, run into the grocery store and my DEKAs are still at 13.7V after half an hour

I second this^^^

Someone take his cnc away before he gets all of my money.

Hmmm . . . such a measurement without depleting the surface charge would indeed be meaningless.
