this is amazing!!!
very good job! ouaw!
is it possible to have a bigger pic? looks very nice!
I’m still looking for someone, somewhere, something (a printer lol) to print white stuff… (hard to make black and white panel!)
When i advance in my work i will add close ups (than you can see that i did not succeed 100%.
I do not think there is a way to print white. So you have to spraycan your panel with good paint and then apply lazertran 
I’m working on something similar myself, only I plan not the whole user interface, but only the Step B interface in a one unit 19" rack, it’s kinda hard to see for me, but is that a two unit rack? Anyway - COOL!!
Yes this is a 2U it fits (very tightly and i made an ubermistake! The lcd does not fit in the case cause of the print attached AAAARGGHHH but i am gonna be creative
But I’ve been trying to get some of that Lazertran stuff myself, but noone seems to even know what it is. Can someone help me? Maybe a webshop where I can get it? And - do I need a color laser printer to do the job?
This is a transparrent sheet attached to paper. You must print on it in reverse. (you can compare it to the stuff you get when building plastic hoby kits you know the decal. Those are the images you have to put in water and then slide of and attach to the plastic kit)
go to www.lazertran.com and locate the nearest location. Find the email adres and mail your order i ordered a pack of a4 and a pack (4 sheets) of a3 for my 19" He will ask your creditcard and i got the pack after a week. I had 3 copies of the panel on 1 A3 for a try out i suceeded after the second one (meaning i have a spare one.) If it scrateches i will sandpaper the panel and paint the panel and reapply the sheet.
So make your image and make a test print. This can be on more a4 papers if you have a large panel. Just cut it right.
Look if the image fits the holes (in case it’s predrilled like mine)
When you are happy try to get as many copies on 1 sheet. Look for a laserprinter that prints below 200 degrees! Very important or else your paper will kill the printer since it will burn itself on the rolls! Usually expensive ones or printshops have these printers or photocopiers (select sheetpaper to decrease fuser temprature)
Cut out the image and put it into cold water for 1 or 2 minutes. The deal is now loose from the paper.
Make your panel wet.
Slide the decal onto the panel gently. When you have placed it gently get all air bubles out with a sponge by rubbing it (this will clean the the decal aswell)
When you are statisfied let it drie for 2 hours
Then put it into a oven for 1 hour on lowest temprature.
After that hour increase temprature every 10 minutes until you reach 200 degrees celcius. Stop th eprocess is the sheet looks very shiny. You must be gentle i can better take long instead of short.
Let it cool off. Your done. Fill all small bubbles that still existed with paint or marker to make it a bit nicer.
You are done.
Do not expect powder coating but it is still firm and quite scratch proof.
I will awnser more questions if you like.
