Monitor MOD

lol shaddup. Hey you can always use modder's mesh or sumthin. That last skull looks best..more abstract. I don't think it would be overkill to have skull grills, but I could be wrong...Might be weird looking to have them facing the same direction tho.


Gah..maybe its too cheesey. Plain mesh might be better?

I could always flip one of the grills then they would be facing opposite directions. I'll play around in SketchUp and see what I come up with.

Here you go. A quick idea of how it'll look.

I like it. Now I need to get some sleep before the wife wakes up and gets all pissed off at me that I'm still playing around on the computer.

If the skull grills are die cut, most likely the back of it will be burred and the metal unfinished. You can always take a sander to both fan grills and paint them white, so the sides are identical. Sketchup looks great! Those grills will look cool with some mesh behind it too, like in the illustration

I just ordered 2 skull grills they should arrive in a couple of days. They are laser cut and come with a mesh backing.

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.

Done and done

All I can say is now I know why you have your Rep count turned off because you would of probably blown it up with all your green boxes.

hey spacehonkey, when you get a chance, can you render that thumbscrew I made in sketchup? I have an idea for the LED covers I want to show you. Please make the file available (or email it to me) here and I'll modify it and post pics. For the rounded ends of the T-handle, just make a tube and attach a dome on each side, unless you have mastered rounded ends already. .

edit: Dont add the threaded part, I'll need to add that after I customize it.

No problem. When I get off work today I'll see what I can do. By the way I was playing around in SketchUp and I think I might have the whole rounded ends thing figured out. If you want you can send me the measurements and I'll make it to scale.
