Step 2Front Panel Design
A handy trick for cool looking front panels aligning with your PCB layouts is to print an image of your silkscreen, then edit out any non front panel items. In this case I have kept only the LEDs. The image was edited in a photo editor and text added. Using a photoprinter you can get colourful designs (although the colour scheme is a bit minimal in this). The LED holes were cut out with a sharp knife and some tracing paper added to the back to diffuse the light a bit.
My little photo printer created prints a little too narrow to fit the entire case, so a little strip was added to fill it out. It looks OK in this case because the front panel is so minimal.
