Monitor MOD

[Spacehonkey]

Well here's the one that I whipped up--I made it like a little thumbscrew First thing I ever made on the Unimat.

How many do ya need?

BAD ASS!!! I'd say you mastered the Unimat on your first try. Well I need 4 to hold the acrylic panel on and 2 with the screw part cut off to cover the LED lights on the acrylic panel. So that would be 6 total. I don't see anywhere else to use them, do you? I don't think I could say this enough, Man you do good work and fast too.

EDIT: I'll pay for the material and the S&H just let me know what you need.

I need to get calipers before I can duplicate 6 of them--the materials cost pennies so don't worry about it. Explain what you mean by "cover the LED lights"

Explain what you mean by "cover the LED lights"

I wanted to cover the LED with the head of a screw or something as a way to hide it. I saw it done on the orginal mod where I got the idea to start my own.

I know it's hard to see but you can barely make out that the LED has a alan screw head over it.

Here is a better angel from my sketchUp design.

I see... its a cover to hide the LED while it edge-lights the acrylic.

Sorry to threadjack.. But I would love to see a little mini log on the milling of those parts, if you get a chance. I think it would be very interesting to see.

Awsome project! I have alway liked the mod you are basing this one off of. Way to take it to the next level!

[Spacehonkey]

Well I went and replaced the old speakers with some bigger ones. Here are some before and after shots. I used the skull thumbscrews just to see how they looked. If something better comes along I replace them. I also cover the wiring.

Maybe you can retrofit some kind of cool aluminum fan grill for those speakers...maybe a decent looking chrome skull fan grill? 80mm should fit.

[Spacehonkey]

Well here they are. I think the first one looks the best but the last one isn't bad either.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that yet again Crimson Sky has come up with another brilliant idea. I bet you get tired of hearing that Crimson Sky.
