Bend Matrix 2 project

[dano12]

I liked front panel express, you get what you pay for and they're not cheap. The aluminum was sturdy and the routing was smooth and nearly exact (there were only slight [20mil??] rounded edges to the square corners we ordered). We paid about $55 per 12x10" panel, which is a good price for 2mm thick aluminum. You pay for convenience, too, as we can find a better price using some local guys who have a router, but quality and delivery date isn't as guaranteed. Also, if we were ever to go to production with a panel like this, Front panel express's small quantity discounts wouldn't keep us with them. In short, it's a great service for prototypes and small batches that you need perfect and quick.

Thanks for the details. I'm working on a front panel for this:



I'm also looking at 4-color lexan overlays. So many great options.
