    Re: CNC results, Main Panel Du and Flapgauge 2 needles

    Hello Jan,

    These are normal amber SMD leds type 1206 and 120 mcd. They come from Farnel and the typenumber is DIALIGHT 5988240107F.

    You can find this type of SMD led all over the internet.


    Regards, Wendy

    My machine is a Colinbus (Profiler). When I did the panels in this thread I did not have an engraving nose, so they are manually engraved letter per letter. Took a lot of time, but the result was very pleasing.

    So you're making your own CNC machine? Are you making the plans publicly available? Selling them? What is the workable area? How much will it cost to build? What materials are using for it?

    Did you do a CNC template of the lettering and then simply go over the template with some form of chisel?

    The lettering is engraved directly into the paint.
