Hi! I recently posted a build log post in this forum, and in some way, it was posted twice...

I can't find out how to delete the post:S
 
Sry, if i'm on the wrong part of the forum, i couldn't find a properly topic for this postXD
 
Anyway, can someone describe me how to delete a post?

Øhm, du er ikke fra Norge?
Ser du har en 20kroning:P
 
I guess you have been to Norway?
 
Otherwise, awesome build log! 
 
Dem cables is sooo nice and tidy!
 

Okey

Thanks for the help peeps! I appreciate that:)

Thanks, @Glenwing

 

THIS IS A MILESTONE IN MY LIFE!

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!

This thread still needs something... Oh yeah more creepy face swaps!
 

This was posted in Twitch chat in a live stream previously, can't remember who posted it, but it was possibly 
AlcatrazDidn't know source so didn't quote originally. Thanks for pointing it out. kinda feels like a dick move putting this in an edit lol

I made a post like this a while ago, don't know where it went though. 
 
So, here's the one i made for that
 

 
And another i made recently for another forum thread.
 

 
EDIT.
Thanks, Linus. For dissing me on the livestream! I did forget to say that the top one was pretty terrible though

cables.....fix the cables

Update 2- The Mid-plate
 
My Acrylic arrived, 550mmx250mmx5mm, 4 sheets of clear acrylic (Perspex) cost me around £33 including delivery and cutting to size from www.sheetplastics.co.uk. I ordered it slightly bigger than I needed as I knew it was going to be laser cut and I order an extra sheet as the middle layer is very weak so I wanted a spare sheet just in case it broke before I could get it attached to the other layers.
 

 
I use a VersaLaser 3.50 at my college to etch out the design for the top layer, cut out the edges so all 3 layers will line up perfectly and mark the holes so that they will also line up perfectly.
 

 

 
The laser etches the plastic by essentially burning it away, this leaves the surplus material in the form of a fine powder. I removed this fine powder by washing it under a tap.
 

 
As you can see in the image below the laser etching leaves the un-etched part slightly raised by about 0.2/0.3mm, this is important because of what I’m about to do with the plastic later on.
 

 
The top layer with the textured design is then painted black using a cheap, black acrylic paint that was bought for £5 from a local model shop.
 

 
Using a small vibration sanded with a flat edge I was able to apply gentle pressure to the top of the plastic which removed the paint from the raised parts, due to the fact that the sander is unable to reach down into the lower parts the paint remains intact. Some of the laser painted areas had to be touched up with a smaller paint brush. This allows light to pass through the plastic in the shape of the etched design.
 

 
On the bottom of the 3 layers I applied 4 strips of double sided tape and weaved a 2m blue led strip that has the correct resistors already installed to work with a 12v power source.
 

 
I used a 4.5mm drill bit and a cordless drill to drill holes in the marked places on each sheet. I then got 6 M4 nuts and bolts to attach all 3 layers to each other and have the LEDs sandwiched in-between.
 

 
On the left you can see the mid-plate bolted together without the LEDs turned on. As seen on the right I took a vibration sander to the edges in order to clean them up as there were a few rough edges and a bit of paint spill over the edges.
 

 
Sanding the Back of the top layer down to make it slightly opaque so you cant see the individual LED's. might need to use some frosted vinyl.
 

 
Here are the final pictures of the mid-plate with the LED strip on, not mounted in the case I just messily soldered and electrical taped a Molex plug onto the end so I could give it power from my PSU.
 

 

 

 
on the photo it appears that you can see all of the individual LED's on the strip however you cannot see them in person.
