First TechShop Laser Cut Project
Visited TechShop yesterday to cut some faceplates/stands for two different VFD displays using the Epilog laser. Cuts were straightforward, had to adjust the settings (power, speed and frequency) slightly to get the lower left screw hole cut properly. Other than that, it took about five minutes or so to cut the 1/8" acrylic sheet.
The pictures show a hacked router displaying local weather from wunderground on an Epson VFD.
Front of stand showing "reclaimed" Epson POS VFD. A hacked Asus router is attached to the stand behind the VFD.
I know, the white screws on black are a fashion faux pas - I didn't have any black screws in 4/40.
Pointing out one 4/40 screw hole for the router.
A matte version of the laser cut acrylic sheet for seeing cut detail. I used a glossy version for the final display.
