Not sure if anyone actually has done this, but does anyone have advice for cutting and engraving acrylic for edge-lighting? I saw the power info linked in the wiki (and I haven’t looked to see what’s on the board yet) but was looking to see if anyone had advice before I get started. I haven’t taken the Zing class yet, so I’m using the Thunders for this project.
The engraving is some text plus a dot-dithered picture. I intend to use some LEDs on the edge to light up the image and text similar to fake Nixie number panels (E.G. https://blog.adafruit.com/2016/04/07/steampunk-owl-clock-with-edge-lit-led-fake-nixie-tube-numbers/). Not sure if that helps, but I figured someone here has probably done what I’m planning on doing.
Thanks,
Kat
