Super useful! I'm still struggling with labeling my 3d printed panels but the labeling machine works perfect for it.

[@joshuamarius]

Glad you found it useful. Which labeling machine is it? I'd love to review it's capabilities.

@@joshuamarius Im not that person, but i use the nelko labeler. I bought it when it was only 20€ in a sale

Good advice, thanks.

FYI, "real" edge lit panels in aircraft are typically silk-screened unless they're one-offs.

[@joshuamarius]

Thanks...but are you correcting something from the video or just adding info?

[@f15sim]

@@joshuamarius Just adding info. ;)

[@joshuamarius]

Gotcha! Thanks for chipping in. Love it when people participate.@@f15sim

@@joshuamarius You're welcome! I've made quite a few Type V edge-lit panels. Sadly I haven't graduated to doing it "right" via silk-screening yet.

I did it using silk-screen printing, but it wasn't quick nor easy.

[@joshuamarius]

Share some info if you can please; I'd love to take a look at what it entails. Thanks.

Just like to screen printing a t-shirt. I put a lot of labels on a sheet and made the screen, each label was in a "card" that I cut and then use it to paint the text over a panel. I made a box with interchangeable panels for Flight Simulator and for DCS, for planes and choppers. I used an BU0836X controller (a very nice controller), it was a nice prototype project but then my son was born and I never came back to simulation, that was 10 years ago. I took the idea watching a chinese video on how they counterfeited brands on air conditioning unit.
