Hi Thorsten, thanks to you I have one of my favourites toys ever, live

and kickin`... This is Native Instruments Traktor controller built in

the black-mat painted C64 case. The panel is made of 2 sheets. One is

3mm acrylic base , and top one is special engraving scratch/UV resistant

plastic for outdor use. It comes in wariety of colours. The panels are

laser cut and engraved so no paint could ever scratch away. Iluminated

"Kill" buttons are handmade. Detailed HOWTO I wrote long time ago here:

Cue buttons are have 3mm LED center (Knitter Switch). Knobs are

soft-touch (Monacor). Thank you very much for this great project. Sasa

Thank you all. I get alot of help from the members of this forum in a past time including the master himself. After a long time knowing about this great project I still can`t belive how wonderfull it is. I just scratched the surface, and I can see long list in the menu left of other waiting MIOS  projects. In a time I finish next one, there will be another one waiting to happend.

I wish we can do something for TK

If you want to make your panels easy and inexpensive pay atantion on this great marterial I used for my panel. In Serbia, I payed 65x65mm sheet about 20 Euros and cutting/engraving in 500 lpi resolution cost me about 12 Euros including cutting the base 3mm acrylic. http://www.rowmark.com/laser/Textures/textures.asp

Yeh that looks top notch mate, very nice! :D

And you did it so cheap!! No silk screening really cuts down the price. Which company did the engraving for you?

[Sasha]

It is local engraving service, one of the tens existing in Belgrade.  Evry express stamp service use that kind of laser cutter/engraver. Check any of these in your city.

Real nice box :)

[pay_c]

***** DAMN!!!!! *****

You definitely beat me!  ;D

Really lovely box, especially big respect for *ALL* those little details, excellent and very very very nice work (you can feel the effort behind it for sure)!!

[Rigo]

Man your box is superb, very very very nice, am realy impressed, currently am working with your technique for the backlit buttons using round cast acrylic, and now am thinking instead of silkscreen it, I will go your way with that material, I hope you don't mind.

[Rigo]

forgot to tell you looks like the motion dive tokyo controller theme.

again very very nice

[Artesia]

thats a very tidy bit of work indeed.. and nice to see things other than sids in Commodore cases :)

Damn.. forget fiddling on with lasertran (for now..) ..next few project pannels are going to be done using a sign maker service.. the finish is so unbeleiveably professional :)

..now the mission is on to try to find a local place thats afforable in the uk midlands..

...that inspires me actually  ..if i build a control surface for my mbsid+mbfm (those have been waiting for completion so long, its become a joke..) ..then im definately building it into one of these cases :)
