    Needless to say that I use LED again.

    Great sponsorship MaG :rock:
    Very nice the light effect and also the color on the Slotin !!!
    I am curious... where did you install the leds to light up the slot, both on the upper and lower side?
    How did you fix the plexy to the chassis?!

    Ciao :thumb:

    The LED are only on the lower side.

    I use some superglue to hold the Plexi in Place.
    After the glue dry I also use some polyester resin on the edges.


    To hold the "lighted push-button plate" in place I use 10mm platte. Used but effectual.
    [​IMG]

    The inner plate. White for a brighter surface behind the "lighted push-button plate"
    [​IMG]

    With 4 bolts it cant go anywhere...
    [​IMG]

    For the switching I glue some 4,3mm push-buttons with polyester resin in place.
    [​IMG]

    To connect the LED and the buttons I use an old part from a broken Mainbord.
    [​IMG]

    Done.
    [​IMG]

    On the inner side i use e pin-and-socket connector toconnect the "lighted push-button plate". -> Easy to remove. :D
    [​IMG]

    This sis the inner view. Again I use some superglue and polyester resin on the edges to hold the things in place.
    [​IMG]

    This USB connector is also from a old Mainbord.
    [​IMG]

    Nearly done. Just some more precision work precisely.

    Nice to see old parts being reused. I like the look of this project so far. I look forward to seeing more.

    To fix the USB stuff I use a plate, big enough to offer a sufficient "glue-area"
    [​IMG]

    The opening is big enough to push the connector from the back in th eplexi.
    [​IMG]

    Not only the connectors get some hot glue
    [​IMG]

    And after the sleeving.... more glue.

    Another important detail are the case-feet.
    [​IMG]

    To get a nice thickness, I need two 10mm parts.
    [​IMG]

    Here just a short preview:
    [​IMG]

    By the way: The final feet get a better machining.

    To cut the side panaels I use my new saw station.
    [​IMG]

    The cuts become perfectly straght.
    [​IMG]

    The long side I cut freehand.
    From my point of view it's a pretty good job. :D
    [​IMG]

    Done
    [​IMG]

    Again some LED.
    [​IMG]

    And with less light.
