Re: Getting Panels Engraved?
Hi,
You can go to a Fablab, where you can lasercut your panels by your own. At a Fablab you can rent a i.e. lasercutter do make your project.
There is one in Adelaide: http://fablabadelaide.org.au. Closed at the moment but maybe you can get information when they opening again.

Re: Getting Panels Engraved?
Hi Henri
I have a laser (bought originally with the intention of making my panels and then selling it ...but its just too much fun to sell!!!!)
I have made many panels for other users (here and other forum) and a few for other users..I am definitely NOT expensive as this is not a huge money making enterprise as such its more to further the hobby for people and put a sim in the grasp of the poor (like me):)
Currently, however, I am restricted to A4 (or so) sheets. But when I move to my new house later this year I will be making a larger cutting bed (around 600 x400)... people tell me my work is as good as the commercial boys so you can always ask!
( I can pop some pictures up of my work)

Hi John,
What sort of laser have you got? I am thinking of getting one myself.
Cheers,

Hi John,
Sorry about not replying sooner, I must have forgotten to turn on notifications!
Anyway, that sounds like a good prospect, how much will you be charging? the MCP is 470 x 80...
Thanks for your help

Re: Getting Panels Engraved?
Henri,
Sorry to go off topic, how did you get on with your O/C mcp not being recognized a while back?.

Re: Getting Panels Engraved?
Ah, I just ended up using an arduino to interface it, I think it was a burnt chip or something... I was planning on giving it back to OC but dubbed it easier to interface it myself, seeing I was going to need a replacement anyways, but nevertheless, I'm now moving forward to a proper replica of the classic MCP. Again, thanks for your help in the other thread! I think we all gave it our best shot!

Re: Getting Panels Engraved?
HI Henri
unfortunately I cannot make a panel of that size just yet.
I made my first MCP in two pieces but will put that right when I make a bigger cutting bed later in the year as I am not over happy with the join also when I made this one

it was before I had decided to go for a proper, full size, authentic pit.

Re: Getting Panels Engraved?
Ah, It's all right!
If you ever can do bigger sizes, it would be great to do business:)
Thanks for your effort
I may still need smaller panels such as gauges in 50mm diameter...
