European Plexi Cutting (SE very soon)

Just to let you know, the plexi arrived today in perfect condition. Thanks!

Any chance of you doin custom dust covers like arthong? Just somethin plain and clear would perfect.

pics!

Haha, give me a chance! I still need some artwork printin out, and i’m intendin to stick a saturn pcb in it so i can use it to play nightwarriors.

Im glad, been real busy this last part of the week for various reasons. Smiler, glad :slight_smile:

Nitro - The money has just cleared and imjust over halfway through your giant order, should be sent on tuesday/wednesday, work has suddenly picked up but expect them early/mid next week.

Kill2this, sending you my details now.

Ryu - The agetec is getting measured up this weekend aswell as the SE and a few others. I can ship wherever, just bear in mind the costs may not be nice for shipping. :slight_smile:

As an aside where are you guys printing your artwork?

I can do standard plexi printing myself at very high quality. A graphic, plexi and delivery to UK is 20 all in.

Nitro, your 12 are complete.

SE stick measured up, very similar to the TE so I’m expecting good things with that, Dreamcast Agetec measured up too. Will have photos midweek hopefully of the completed prototypes mid/end of week.

have u done any 2mm so far?
i would be really interested in 2mm + artwork print :o)

doomy you made any with countersunk holes??

any further pics?

Working late, have some photos of countersunk plexi and startings of new stick which has folded acrylic forming the shell, should excite SE owners out there. C/sunk holes are no problem on any of the products I do. It’s not a case of whether I can do them it’s just a matter of if you want them :slight_smile:

As you can see its sunk. Ignore other holes, they were with different bits, thats scrap acrylic.

Startings of a new stick, everything quick release like my last one, rounded extrusion.

Bear in mind the distances of the acrylic had to be measured because of the folds stretching no CNC’d holes were made. I have the right dimension now and can just feed the file into the CNC and not have to holesaw them like i will with this prototype

Acrylic and body together, offset to show the acrylic. There will be support for art underneath and the stick will be a breeze due to the channels in the extruded aluminium. The entire underneath of the acrylic can be showing artwork, or the lasercut aluminium (photo I forgot to take) can be on show. 2mm diameter holes 2mm apart, much like cheese grater.

This is a new thermoform sheet we have, looks like carbon and this will sit on the sides wrapping the CNC’d MDF side sections. The stick will have the Vewlix layout much like the TE but look far nicer when done. I may have these for sale as well as my plexi’s. More pics to follow this week.

That looks very cool.
The bends are so sexy.

You don’t see many sticks without wooden cases on here, its really nice and clean.

If only you could get aluminium balltops and buttons you could make it all metal and plexi, you wouldn’t need artwork!

Cheers guys, im only using metal for weight. Nothing worse than stick sliding on table because the rubber feet arent depressed enough. Some metal can look nice, but generally only when its painted/anodised. The stainless holey stuff im using tho is sweet looking. Will get a pic tomorrow.

Watching this one with a lot of interest. Looks pretty darn cool.

Sorry missed this. At the moment im sticking with 3mm, sorry.

ah ok
i guess 3mm is fine as well :o)… will pm u tomorrow

Hey doomy, i forgot to tell you that i already have my plexis at home :smile:

Im still waiting for my buttons, so i will post pics of my baby when its done

Hey all, the exhibition busy season just kicked off big style for my company officially so I havent had much time to myself at all. Hope i’ve kept everyone up to date via PM so far. If not, let me know again. I’m a day or so short with sending plexi’s out.

The Plexi for the SE IS coming and so will the Agetec plexi.

My stick is looking OK so far, managed to grab a few photo’s.

Hey doomy, are you doing printing and cutting as well as the facias? How about engraved plexi washers?
