Step 5Other Applications + Get A Patch!
Taking it further:
Lets say we're making an electronic Tic-Tac-Toe game. Ideally we want either an X or an O in the same place. To do this we make and X and an O with a separate LED for each one. Since each piece is essentially transparent when off, we can put one behind the other to have a display that can show an X or O in the same space, depending on which LED we light. You can also use the same effect to add more than one color to the same display or animate parts of an image like some animated neon signs.
Show me what you've done and get a patch!

Here's a pic of the one I did yesterday. It's roughly 12 inches by 9 inches and took a total of 4 hours to complete. 2 1/2 hours of engraving with my dremel VERY slowly so I wouldn't screw up!
Thank you!
and i will try to make it
thx man
THANKS

(The same goes for anyone else who gives this a try in the month of June!)
The first three pics are my first attempt...the dragon's fire actually changes from red to orange to yellow...and I also had it hooked up one time to my HDD activity light so he would only breathe fire when the HDD was being accessed.
The next pictures are for my last case-mod...It was a completely custom case, built from scratch from wood, and had a "stealthed" etched front. I did this by tinting the front piece of plexi with car Tint I got from walmart and etching and illuminating a piece of plexi behind it.
This is my favorite case-mod I have done, because I went "whole-hog" and modded everything, including monitros, keyboard, mouse, mouse-pad and speakers.
I use the "router-cone" attachment on my dremel to keep it vertical, and then simply trace my design onto the plastic. This allows me to keep the depth consistent and I find it much easier to control the rotary tool.
