    Okay that is SLICK. Very well made, lot fancier than the panel buttons I was thinking of making.

    @Santi Luib III Nice job Sir! Last year my crew and me been working on the new Alien Romulus movie, making cockpits and panels for the spaceships and stations among other equipment. The SetDecorator picked an Omron industrial switch which was not available at that volume we needed so I had to come up with a solution. My approach was pretty similar to yours, just a bit more simple; -we had no time to order PCBs. The outer and inner shell are resin printed and I used one layer tinted (coloured) acrylic for the texts and a top layer black smoked transparent acrylic as lenses. We ended up making almost a 1000pcs, as these easily customizeable functional buttons were used in every set to keep the aesthetics similar. After the complete C5 and KC-10 cockpits we made a few years back for the last Terminator movie this job was a joyride.

    Beautiful work! The black headlight cover material is a great tip, I hadn’t known about that before. Thanks!

    The yellow LEDs work best with 150 Ohm, so expect a 47 ohm resistor to significantly shorten it's lifespan.
  • Nice, I've been wondering how a tint sheet would work but haven't gotten to try it out myself - looks better than expected! Seems like it would work really nicely with custom LED displays too (like 7 segments). Thanks for sharing!

    Beautiful design. They look great!

    Very nice. Though if I was going to be making a lot of them, I'd be tempted to make a custom test box, rather than breadboarding it every time.

    Always loved the look of aircraft panels and buttons. If you want to minimize light bleedthrough use thinner acrylic, though 1mm would be hard to find.
