+1 on amagalla idea for switching

unfortunately that will now raise the price to $5327.
Is that about right Fred?

Great news!

**Deleted** since tonichristi since I am associated with the site that was posted of which I am not. i was simply giving the OP an idea of what else was out there. I also did not like the personal attack and name calling he sent me through the PM. I certainly hope he is not like the others on this site since I have found nothing but helpful, adult people here until today.

Again, sorry that I tried to help, I will think again before trying to help someone again here.

Hmmmmm....

Patented Technology, Copyrights and Registered Trademarks acknowledged.

It appears that due diligence is in order.

Just sayin'.........

Kewl - PMMA sorted, and all the AL6061T6 stocks for prototypes just came in!!!

That plate will be used for a custom fixture. Hopefully this will machine 4 (four) at a time. All from scratch.... off to the CAM work now! I'll grab a few shots of when this is cutting, chamfering and anodizing soon



(Rottie not included, sorry)

I've heard it's not safe to keep a pet in China especially a dog. how does this work for you is this your dog?

Also you should send email notifications to your previous customers when you have something as cool as that for sale. I'll take one if you are still making them

?!?! Tom, can't believe you are asking me about my now 3y/old puppy. Yes, this is my dog. One of them. I have two rotties mate (male, brothers). Hobby, serious one.

And NO, our Chinese friends does NOT eat dogs or cats. South Asians (old generation) sometimes do but that is phasing out. Happens in South China only. Mid and north Chinese (90% of pop) people does not, they are embarrassed and repulsed by this weird eating behavior. Chinese care about their pets as good as anyone else - if not better (in many of the cases I've seen anyway).

Dogs aren't safe "in Canada" man. I had one of my rottie (Prince) shot dead by the RCMP in 1997 while they were carrying a raid on a neighborhood house (summer/country house, dog was loose that day). Won't go into details - its a car forum.

Yes - there are two kits left/available. Thanks for the sugg btw (touché, and sorry)

"Patented technology"? I think not

The flowers are pretty

[Nine8Six]

Just a gentle reminder, this is a "DYI" and meant for one to 'show off' what he does to his, and friend's, beloved Boxster car

I'll try to entertain, make it fun, and educational for others who I'm sure will learn a great deal!

Warming up the spindle on the CNC mill atm. Cold here in Shanghai this morning :/ arggg

Thanks! You bet flowers are pretty. This was sent to me by a member from Colorado who hope to go with the floral theme for his

Aw man, that is a cool website! Thanks for sharing, didn't know they existed

I'll check with our Japanese counterpart here if they are okay with me publishing their website addy here. These guys took it to a whole new level 3D Edge lighting, 4 colors, and illuminated holography. Oh you should see that stuff..... lol

[Nine8Six]

Got the 10.6 μm wavelength laser finally dialed in specific for this (weird) pmma material. Either that stuff is as hard as crystal, or we simply need a new laser. The stuff is so hard the feed rates to cut it needs to be turtle speed. 12mm/minute + air assit + new focus lens. For sure we're not dealing with regular plastics here :/

The etching turns out frosty - s-t-u-n-n-i-n-g. Very happy. Unfortunately this shot got snapped using my mobby... looks a tad better in real life. LED light is completely lost inside and the material is clearer than glass (92%). Pretty cool 'chemicals' I have to say.

Chopped some scrap/sample material so I have a template to work with when fitting the LED module. I just don't want to scrap a full window size piece of pmma atm. Hopefully this coming weekend I'll be able to etch my boxster's window (my flower lol).

[Nine8Six]

And finally got the CAM work and GCODE done for the module. Mirror this 4 times over 4 coordinates and you got yourself a dedicated FANUC/ATC servo CNC milling machine cutting for 23.7minutes. So.... 5.925minutes per module/part.









^ For those who've never seen GCODE i.e. the code that gets output and loaded into the CNC controller, above visual is what it looks like. We basically need to understand and be able to write this by hand as most CAM software, still today, just won't do it all. Shop Geaks lolll

[mavis.d]

Clever stuff

[Nine8Six]

Geezzz.... I am starting to feel a tad uncomfortable here

At your request I have deleted the only two references that I've made to your website. Which were in fact replies from a member gormalins8..... If you feel the need to removed his posts then might worth you sending him a quick pm. I had no objection him posting them at the first place no worries.

Some tip for you. If you don't want your image to leak and be restricted use/access only, have a look at "Google Web Master Tools". That doc will provide you with the technicalities RE how to code your website so pics remain under your full control. Sort of the same how Porsche and other Co does to theirs. Hence the reason you'll never see their pics in other part of the web freely accessible, with their dwload links pointing at other sources, etc. Just a tip mate

You do great work, carry on at full speed. I don't intent to commercialize my flowers for the boxster 987, the Z4, S2k or Cadies or anything like that. All I intent doing is a one of the nicest windscreen you'll see in Shanghai (and in-the-world) for my super duper eBay-sponsored Porsche Boxster! Now if some friends would want the same, I am all willing to share what I have mate. "Limited Edition lol"

I can't comment on the legal concerns that you may have I apologize for not responding to your message. We indeed do have those legal advisor guys at HQ that I'm sure could quickly advise me... I just don't want them to know I play with LEDs mate. If this ever go commercial (read Amazon.com!) you can be rest assured due diligence will be carried out before.

To the Great Panels

NOOOooooo please please please MY DYI MY DIY MY MY MY MINE.

Slate 01, I was just about to ask a volunteer for prototype trial. PM your addy mate Sending one to Charles nx week as well. We'll see if they are good (fingers crossed lol)

[gomarlins3]

Wow am I ever sorry I put that link up. Sorry everyone.
