Now that these all sort of square and round windows seem to be hip, I thought
to try what all kinds of
patterns this Dremel can do.
As model I took this oh-so-boring AMD logo. Simple enough for this first
test. I chose the side plate as
the spot.
As you see from the result, this is the first test. The cuts don't follow
precisely the lines, but the point is that they are in 90 degree angles.
This way the pattern still is recognizable. (Note: the camera has distorted
the perspective of the righthand picture)
I went to Oulu's Aikolon OY to fetch
me a piece of dark plexi glass. The price of this 300x200mm piece was
30mk (~5 USD), not really a unreasonable price. From this piece I cut
a square suitable for this logo. Because the piece is so small, attaching
it to a 1mm thick plate was easily done with superglue(tm). No need for
rubber paddings etc.
A few shots of the result. I haven't built any lights inside the computer,
but for the test's sake, I lit
my greatly criticized Majesty with a flashlight. You see through all right,
don't you?
If I would use such a white light, an opaque plexi glass is preferred,
but this will have to do in this practice project.
I got all excited to test myself in something more skillful pattern,
and it turned out to be allright. The pictures show Megaman, if somebody
didn't recognize. Lights behind that baby - yum.
So, i used Dremel for cutting and its cutting disks. The price for a 50-piece
disk package was about 30mk
(~ 5USD) and I used 6-7 disks doing these. If you have the inspiration and
skill, you definitely should do
this, and don't satisfy yourself with something as simple and plain as spray
paints. Gives you that
pro-touch ;)
