LED Patchie

Step 4Engrave your message

Engrave your message
Now it's time to finish the project. Take what ever you want to engrave something into the plate. I tooked a Dremel, but a cutter knife, a soldering iron or something to etch, will work as well.

Now your done. Take the LED Patchie with your message and place it somewhere. You can tape it or build magnets into it. Hope you have fun with it.

Update: Pixelrider says in the comments:
The fun part is that you don't have to engrave your message - simply write it with a marker pen - especially those UV-sensitive - and use blue/UV LED ;)

I think, that is a gread idea because, it makes it more easy.

Does anybody know if there would be a way to do this with the UV-Sensitive markers and UV bulbs and make it like a dry erase type of thing. It seem like this would be pretty cool if you could write and erase different things on it. I think kids would get a kick out of it. By kids I mean myself....lol

It certainly looks well done. I like the idea of the UV-Sensitive marker/led combo.
