Hi Julian. Did you happen to do a couple of spare windows ??? 
Cheers
Phil
yes, and no…
i did cut extra, but wasnt happy with a lot of them, so, although i have extra, theyre not 1st class.
youre welcome to a couple if you want them?
one thing to note -
your panel was cut to wilbas spec, without so much alteration. I think the countersink on your panels window was 1.5mm, rather than the 2.0mm im now cutting. This meens that the rear of the window will sit proud of the back of the panel by 0.5mm.
How bad are your current windows? Ive probably got about 4 or 5 spare (ie 2.5 sets) and i can go through them to get the best out of them for you, but i dont know if they will be better than what you have at the moment?
Ive learnt from cutting these -
the acrylic is weak, and scratches very easily
the protective film is loose, and comes off easily (too easy for cutting through)
so, what id do in future (not that im really wanting to make any more of these panels just yet!) is take off all the backing, and cover the acrylic with brown packing tape, which will stick harder to the surface, and enable me to cut through it, without anything (chippings etc) being ‘blown’ across the surface.
the brown tape would then have to be removed, and probably cleaned off with solvents.
dear julianf
do you have extra window acrylic for the panel i bought you (now assembled :)) ?
best regards
i did cut extras intending to give some away to previous customers (like you and phil, etc) but a lot of the acrylic didnt turn out so well (see comments above), so, in the end, i ended up without as many as i wanted.
if i ever cut more, i will able to cut them better, without any surface damage, but itll just take longer, and, as i was doing these ones for free anyhow, im afraid i did not feel inclined to go back and do them all again : /
Julian we’ ve already talked about my interest via mail, so this may be sort of redundant, but just to fulfill formalities I’d like to state in public that I’d like to order one SEQ-Panel (white).
Okay, now I’m comitted

Hi there,
I may have a spare white one left over - ill have to check.
As for evreyone else -
Im sorry im being slow in sending off the invoices. Evreything is packed and weighed, but the payment requests just havent got sent out yet.
Julian
Hi Julian,
If there are any spares left, I’d like to order one SEQv4 panel, white infill, hopefully with acrylic panels.
kind regards, dnode
hi there,
i think i have one (or possibly even two - but i think just one) remaining. ill have to check what colour it is.
Hi Julian, got my panel today, pretty nice work! 
Hi Julian, got my panel today, pretty nice work!
Me too. Thanks!
By the way I need to get some spacers now. I have some 30mm ones and I am thinking I will cut them all different heights if I try to use my dremel. I just wanna get some futurelec ones cause I have no local stores that carry them but I am gonna hate the long wait for the spacers from futurelec (yes I should have planned ahead) Anyways, futurelec is dirt cheap I can get 24 for less than $4 + shipping.
My question is: What size should I get? I measured the distance from pcb to panel and came up with 10mm. Should I get 10mm spacers? I might have to get them from mouser or digikey to feed my lack of patience with shipping from futurelec. I could get all 19 needed for like $8 + shipping. they have so many kinds though and I get fustrated with the mass amount of options.

Generally you need 12mm spacers for the “main” mounting holes of the PCB (as the mounting ‘blinds’ are 2mm deep) and 10mm for any additional surface mounted spacers that you use (although I found that I didn’t need any)
I then glued 10mm spacers into the blinds for the LCD but that depends on what LCD you are using.
Cheers
Phil
Yep, 12mm for the main mount holes + 10mm spacers for extra support, just tested yesterday using only 12m spacers, the pcb bends a little when pressing switches in the middle, like 1 mm so I guess after a while this could be a problem(broken solder joints), better to add extra 10 mm spacers.
Beware, get 5mm thick spacers as 5.5mm thick won’t fit into the panel mount holes.
btw. is it just me or the 3mm leds don’t fit into the holes, any tip to make them fit?
im out of town at present (only on dialup) so not saying much…
the led holes on the panel were not altered from wilbas design, and all the panels were cut the same.
most electronic components vary in size a little, so you could try a different brand? matching the leds to the existing holes would certainly be easier than opening out the exising holes, but, of course, we’re not talking mb6582 panels, so if you do need to open up the holes, thats possible too.
if you do want to open the holes up, id advise drilling from the rear of the panel, and making very sure that you lie the front side of the panel on somthing relativly soft, like, for example, paper.
id drill them with a battery powered drill too, as they generally run slower, and are more controlable.
but, again, it may well be easier to try a different brand of leds first?
(again, im away at the moment, but will be back on dsl next week)
