Hi Guys,

I am looking for a window for my MB6582. Maybe somebody has a spare one and is willing to sell it !

Cheers

you could ask reboot, he sent me an acrylic window some time ago.

best regards, thorsten.

Hi,

thanks, I have already asked him but he doesn’t reply. Maybe he is very busy at the moment … I will simply use a CD cover, that’s very unprofessional, but I have no alternative …

Cheers

I have a CD cover in place. It looks OK, but I’d rather change it to a proper window.

Got a nice Fluro CD case at Rusta that I Dremelled like crazy. Looks OK, but it was far too much work to be viable considering how easy it may break. Next up: A trip to some hardware supplier. There are a few who do CNC work and are willing to use leftover bits for cheap.

As Wilba said, it is possible to cut any transparent material (acrylics or glass) just roughly and glue it to the backside of the aluminum frontpanel.

jojjelito · June 10, 2011, 1:12pm

That’s cheating. The lead turd I came up with was that I wanted to “slightly” machine the bit so that it became in-plane with the front panel. The ensuing work was dangerously close to regression therapy.

I kinda need one too. Maybe if we have enough people we can have some made?

Hawkeye · June 12, 2011, 9:47pm

me would be in, too

jojjelito · June 13, 2011, 6:26am

I’d be in for one too if someone can get a batch made :ike:

Shuriken · June 13, 2011, 10:59am

Ok, i’ll do some checking. Just informal for now.

Is everyone using a 1.5mm panel?

Hawkeye · June 13, 2011, 11:18am

yes, 1.5mm & thx a lot

strophlex · June 13, 2011, 1:24pm

I have 1.5 mm too. Wilbas FPD file.

jojjelito · June 13, 2011, 2:47pm

I have a 1.5mm thick panel too from JulianF. It should be the same as the Wilba fpd AFAIK.

Shuriken · June 13, 2011, 3:36pm

Yeah me too.

I have sent out an e-mail. I’ll let you guys know as soon as i hear anything.

Hi Guys,

I’ve got now another set of windows. It looks better than a CD cover Of course I have to clean up the edges a little bit, but then it is perfect …

Where did you get yours?

I got word from my contact at frontplaten.net. He made some stuff before for midibox usage. He suggested to make a window out of two pieces of 1.5mm. As an additional option it would be possible todo it in a different color or a full color print. The current estimate for 10 pieces is 85 euro. So that would be 8,50 euro a piece.

Hawkeye · June 14, 2011, 3:55pm

Hi Shuriken,

thanks for your efforts!

Two questions:

Two pieces? How are the connected together?
Different colors? Colored Acrylic? Cool! Would it be possible to get a red one?

Bye,

Peter

Mmm, green or fluorescent green is where it’s at :nuke: Wonder if that’s obtainable?

Laters,
