LED Base

[Andrei Georgescu]

I've done a prototype 30 cm wide out of balsa wood for 4 mm plexiglas. It was about $8 mostly spent on the balsa. I think I could easily do that at $5 out of fir or pine or whatever's cheap enough and looks good enough.

No pictures it didn't happen lets see what you made.

I have only one which is of the base plugged in with the scratched plexiglas scrap I used for the test.
I'll get it this evening and post some pictures. I might get a contract for a 6 meter long one a few days from now and if I do I'll post some pictures of that one.

I finally got around to building my first prototype, and it turned out awesome...

Jim,

Good to see you pop up here.. Everyone seems to be interested in your bases... Me included, let us know when you're back on track.

Just FYI on my "find"... I finally got around to upgrading my laser and catching up on my past-due jobs, so went and cut some 1/8" plex for this cheap base... Imagine my disappointment when by 1/8" stock would not fit in the base? Should have put a mic on the piece first to measure what thickness the manufacturer uses. Finally got my sheet stock to fit by filing and scraping the base.

Overall it's my opinion that they are not even worth this cheap price.. Maybe you can pull the guts and build them into something else, but otherwise don't waste your money.

Oh well!
