Hi,
lil OT: today ssl components has been shipped. ;D Since I have a week or more time, I started thinking about the design of my custom ssl comp.
So, as you can imagine, I'm not looking for a perfect clone of the gssl, I tend to customize everything that my hands touch
Using the greatest CAD ever made (Inkscape : ), I came up with this design:
HD version ;D http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/8575/zzeh.png
The first and only problem is that it has a lot of colors, and decals seems not to be suitable enough (they seems to be good for black labels).
One way that I found is the istant colour press directly on the frontplate, but I can't find someone that can do the job; It's kind of frustrating, but I do not give up!
I'm looking forward on your answers, since here people knows what a "rack frontplate" is... (this is referred to the previous frustration ahah).
mmm something else ehm.. the frontplate has no holes yet (aside screw holes)
So I repeat the main question: how do I imprint my drawing to an aluminum plate?
Other Trivia:
Ah here what I mean for customization, did you noticed that the bypass knob is different?
I'm waiting to receive a singular knob with an acrylic inlay that will suit to my design.
Here it is, with black plating http://www.qparts.com/index.php/knob/dome/acrylic-aqua-pearl-dome-knob.html#.Uci1jfmR6h0
I think this could be a really good way to customize bare and tedious rack units, I hope I have given you ideas with this
I honestly never saw so much interest on gears aspect, but this is comprehensible since the interior is more important...
But why the exterior is such ignored? :-X
Thanks all and byebye!
