Except for Krylon, no rattle, as long as you wait 24-48 hours it doesnt go milky, but thatnks, Ill keep my fingers crossed

Here is how my mobo tray came out

I cannot wait to see the culmination of all your hard work. This is one of my favorites.

I have speed painted the clear step also and had no issue on chrome and steel, with alu I saw it milk up. Thanks mate

btw, TF2 is pretty much the only game I play now, rivaled only by Diablo II. I also play a tad of Audiosurf

If it's not too much of an imposition, can I have your steam name?

cheers mate

sorry about tools in the oven. why not come over and vacation here for a week or two. You can crash here and use my shop. We could come up with a sick compilation mod to slaughter the masses

Oh ok. Must be something with the alumi then. Although if you remember, mine milked up slightly yesterday when I test painted my HDD cage. Dried perfectly clear though so I think you should be fine.

Coming along nice, to bad about the issues with the clear though. Hope it works out for ya!

The Intelligence - Day 35 - Acrylic Work

I decided to knock out the pain-staking task of marking off and cutting out all the necessary voids in the case switch panel, made from black cast acrylic, 1/8". Lined up all the toys

The hole for the game switches is 1", but with the washers and bezel etc its close to 1 3/8", or thereabouts, I was about to cut out a template when I spotted my current dremel disk. Put it in the calipers for a quick check and what the hell do you know... 1 3/8"!!

Perfect!

used the disk to center the game switches, and began marking off for the green and red toggles

thats everything marked off

laid out the switches to see what it looked like

marked off for pilot holes

clamped

drilled out pilots for the holesaw and scroll saw cuts, and drilled out 9/64" for the screws that will hold tabs, that will keep this puppy secure, and also cut out two 1/8" holes for the pwr and hdd led's above the rollers section

first time hole sawing acrylic, was a bit nervous as I prepared my tools

clamped...

went slow slow with no downward pressure, patience paid off in clean ass cuts

threaded the first toggle switch pilot on the scroll saw

first cut out, did two more, and then the roller panel area

after a round of filing...

turns out the bottom opening for the rollers in the pic above was cut 1/8" to short in height, but luckily there is enough play between the top of it and the led holes that I can just add to the opening cut. The led holes will no longer be centered but w/e

thanks for watching
