How To Etch Tempered Glass | bit-tech Modding

[@shadergod]

Wow! I loved the music during the stencil cutting. Classic 1980's work montage, anyone?

[@RobertBarton86]

I love this tutorial! This brings me back to the days I worked in a sign shop in college. We did a lot of vinyl transfers in that job. I think I might need to buy a plotter now....

[@bittech1]

Doooo iiiiiiiit

[@scarlettuwu9582]

Looks even better than light sandblasting, which is really impressive

[@kitsune2858]

So, 'vinyle' were done, lol … I was just thinking, I could probably do that with any vinyl sticker that still has its outline. As always, another awesome upload :)

[@bittech1]

Yup any sticker should work well as long as it masks decently

[@Phahel7]

I have a mate who owns a vinyl printing/cutting machine. I suggested a fractal design would be sick to etch and he laughed at me then explained I would be picking out the little bits of vinyl for hours before I had a usable print :(

[@brandoncraig4164]

i gave a like before watching just cause of the stash !

[@matthewh6172]

The music! Fantastic stuff.

[@currentlykent4593]

I laughed way too hard at this video. The music was perfect.

[@lifeolemons]

Thanks for the video. Question: Could I etch an entire glass panel, to make an opaque finish? If so, is there a product/brand you’d recommend? Thank you!

[@MrTyreli]

vinyl-ly done lmfao, sneaky pun

[@itsTyrion]

@bit-tech If you illuminate it from the bottom, does that part "glow"?

[@chrisrnz]

I wonder if this comment is as underrated as this channel? Nope, not even possible. Alex - dunno if you'll see this but what's your background? There's an article on the site that says some stuff about modding and favourite bits and pieces but where'd you learn all this? A lot of this is pretty in-depth maker/engineering knowledge that's pretty rare, even in the modding world.

[@justinburke3477]

I love your work and your videos! I'm assuming I already know the answer, but does this work as well on the tinted tempered glass like on the thermaltake P3 and P5? Keep up the great content. Your work is absolutely amazing!

[@-eMpTy-]

Yes of course. Just keep in mind that, depending on the tint, it may stick out too much for your liking.

[@Phahel7]

@@-eMpTy- hmmm this raises the question, which side of the glass is the tint on?

[@ManVersusWilderness]

Dude, you make some great vids, and you ALWAYS have the best music! Love the 80s sound in this vid! :P :D

[@NinO12752]

Thanks for showing on how to do it, I was planing on doing it on my TG from my O11D razzr edition. But mind me asking, how are the results if u are sidelighting the glass panel? Like, in this case in the front panel which has sidelighting, is the result good enough to be seen or should there be used a different techniques in order to have a good enough result? Sorry for the bad english

[@Phahel7]

I haven't seen etching done much since mid 2000's but back then you basically had to side light the panel for the etch to glow properly.

[@shorts-rc8hb]

Please upload more❤️

[@SteadyShadow]

Always keeping us entertained. Did you notice the superhero style music. Hahaha. Awesome video

[@LionPerfeKt]

If you put led stip to the sides of the glass, does it make the logo glow as well?

[@longnamedude3947]

If you could share a link for that music it would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks for the updated video tutorial!

@@longnamedude3947 Both songs are on KZbin, just search for them. The audio-quality is incredible for KZbin standards.

[@Gonzotftd]

It's also used in the Neoscum podcast!

[@longnamedude3947]

@@Metatr0n Yeah I found them, and I'm impressed by how little the compression on KZbin has affected the audio quality. It would be nice to find some FLAC files of the songs if they exist. I'll have to see where I can buy it in FLAC format. (Or download it from the Artist officially if they are offered for free officially via the Artist themselves).

[@grivful]

Great job my friend. Say hi from Uruguuay!!!

[@fluffypink90]

Expected this stuff to be hydroflouric acid. Active ingredients appear to be ammonium biflouride and sodium biflouride - any chemists here know if either of these have the same bone hurting juice effect as HF?

I would like to know how to turn white that black paint on the glass and make it durable because normal painting is not.

[@swordsinging1709]

Etch paint with glass paint and clear coat

[@user-fj4ih3lo9f]

Hi, i got really inspired by your pc builds and i want to build my own. But i don't really know how to design my case in Fusion 360. Could you make a Tutorial on how to design a PC-Case? it would be really nice to have something i can realte to.

[@forsbergcustoms6830]

Banging tunes Alex!

[@akmid60]

My work has a $40,000 dollar laser etcher I was going to use that but this might be a safer bet. It would be at least less mistake prone.

[@irekselvaggio6517]

What machine cnc do you use?

Pumba.... Its me timon... Long time

[@MakinComputers]

Ooooo you need a montage. Even Rocky had a montage. ;-) Is there anything similar that can be used on acrylic?

[@longnamedude3947]

Acrylic isn't so cut and dry, it would heavily depend on what grade of Acrylic it is...... Plastics don't usually withstand such aggressive chemicals In the same way. And any plastics that do are not usually found on computer cases due to cost, weight, structural rigidity, and many other factors. So, it is possible, but you'll want to properly research the subject before attempting it, and if you can, try it on a seperate piece of the same material, do not immediately try it on your computer case side panel, because, if it goes wrong, you won't be able to remedy it.

[@kellerenton]

You can use regular old sandpaper or a sanding sponge on acrylic. Tho I'm not sure how well that would work with a stencil.

[@MakinComputers]

@@kellerenton Yeh getting into the edges and getting a finish that even would be a nightmare. Probably better off just using clear opaque vynl as a sticker for the pattern, rather than as a stencil to apply it.

[@nevill1947]

With a stencil you can use frosted spray paint on the acrylic.

[@SouLG97]

Is it possible to do this on a way weaker scale? Say, I want to etch the screen of a smartphone to be less reflective but still be normally usable and not etched to the point that it just becomes like the result in the video.

[@Phahel7]

Just get anti glare screen protector

[@cyberneticwarmachine]

luckily phanteks sell replacement panels so i can try this!

[@trafficmoney8138]

Great, but it would not be better to make the logo with a laser and it would be more permanent

[@bittech1]

Not really, this is a chemical etching process so it's part of the glass surface itself now, much the same as laser etching. Laser's great if you have a large and intricate job, but most people don't have access to that process. Also laser etching doesn't really like larger surfaces much like this technique thanks to the visibility of the raster lines. Additionally you can't easily use lasers for etching parts like reservoirs or curved glass panels.

[@_ijah_6105]

nice tuto Mister moustache 👍😉

Dude I'm 19 seconds into your video and I gotta give you serious kudos for that meticulously groomed mustache.

Lots of words sound better with a British accent, but glaaahss has to be near the top.

But can you etch it with your mustache?

The music was loud compared to the speech. I want my hearing back!
