Since biz in the entertainment industry here in Los angeles has been less than great these last few years i have found myself with way more time on my hands then i like, so i have been trying new things, bought a welder and learning that, got a 3D printer and having a blast with that, i want to redo the dash in my Cigarette boat and after doing some research decided that a cnc would be very useful, went down the rabbit hole of watching videos and decided on the Shapeoko 5
Very good experience so far., playing with different materials and trying new things. Had a big boating event in Havasu couple weeks ago so i made a buddy some edge lit signs out of acrylic for the event,
Well couple days ago i get a call from South Carolina. Guy says ive been trying to track you down
i saw the signs you did and i need one for my event. ok send me what you want and i’ll see what i can put together. send him the layout and he responds with omg i need 6 of those and where do i send the money, then he tells other people out there and they order more,
looks like i’m making some signs, never saw that coming.
Clicking on the link and entering your email then as for the download of the pdf. Says “good new, success” check your email in a few minutes. Did so about 15 min. ago, but no down load. Does it still work??
For sure making a base is possible and it’s $23 for two not one.
also they do different colors and nice clean controller and plug into usb , ive been looking for someplace to source the strips with no luck,
i would like to do an aluminum base, so far the best option i have is to buy those wood ones. cut out the led strip and install in my own base , but still looking for other options
For people looking for LED strips and a whole lot of other options to put in your own cases, try http://adafruit.com. Many choices, also many have well-documented projects on how to put things together. I have been buying from them for years.
