acrylic bezel for game of life

Postby caboteria » Sun Mar 15, 2009 3:55 pm

I had been looking for an excuse to get something from ponoko.com so I made a bezel for my 2x2 matrix of game of life boards. It came out pretty well for a first effort and I'm pretty pleased with it (if I do say so myself).

If anyone is interested in making one let me know and I'll send you the svg file. I made mine from the 0.12 clear acrylic but it doesn't need to be that thick - if I were doing it again I think I'd use the 0.08 clear.

You beat me to it! That's just what I was planning to do! Would you care to share the EPS/plans for it?

Where did you get the nylon offsets from?

I got them at You-Do-It electronics in Needham, MA.

I *think* the bolts are size 4-40, 3/4" long, but I bought them many beers ago. They're just nuts, bolts, and washers with no stand-offs so the bezel sits directly on the LED's.
