Nice panels! It might be cool to do a how-to for panel making. I know there are a few of them out there already, but everyone does their panels a bit differently. More places to pick up info the better.
What sort of hardware and software are you using to make the panels? I'm assuming a cnc mini-mill of some sort? If so, what mounting method are you using and what bits do you use to etch the lettering? I'm going to be in the same boat shortly. I've got an X2 mill I'm cnc retrofitting atm.

Thanks for the great replys.
Yeah, im going to have to do a new thread on how panels are made, call it "a panel is born" or somthing daft like that i think its a facinating process.
Basically there all laser cut and laser engraved, got some sweet machinery to do them on, but all the machining is done manually on my X2, however I have bought a CNC router but it got destroyed in postage so im still waiting for that.

cool
Thanks for the great comment guys, im sat here at work typing this with such a grin across my face ( < bit like that) nearly a year of trial and failure but now i got it right.
Had a bit more of a play with the backlighting and trying to figure out how to replicate fillament illumination using white LED's, looked into alsorts of wierd and wonderful combinations with no results, then i picked up a white board marke that was sat in front of me all of the time and simply dabbed the LED and it worked!!!! sorted.
I will get round to doing some sort of guide on the HI-TEC method, and also how to get decent results with just a drill, piece of metal and whatever you find lying around on the floor
Oh, im selling some 737 ones, i have no use for those thought someone might like em.
Again, Thanks
