Hello, I am trying to build a MCP. I got past the circuitry, PCB and components, but I have no experience in engraving plastic. I have a .dxf file with all the lettering, and lines etc. Question: What is a suitable plastic material or substrate which can be used to engrave the letters and numbers for the MCP panel? I want to be able to use the backlit option at night, and I would like a Boeing 737blue, or as close to it as possible. Can someone point me in the right direction please? BTW. How does this "image from URL" work? I tried to upload a picture of what I am looking for, and no luck. How do I make my picture into a url?

Hey guys, I have been a long time viewer but have never posted much on the forums. However, I recently finished something that I thought I would share. Using a 3d printer, I designed these saitek replacement knobs that I custom modeled. I was inspired by the learjet 45's simplicity and style of knob, and I thought that would be a great place to start. Over about a month i managed to finish them and get the hang of using a 3d printer. The reverse levers rotate, but do not function in the flight sim for obvious technical reasons. Now that I have a replacement solution for my own flight sim, I have a few questions for the community: What do you think? Would you be interested in this as a product? Should I consider selling additional kits? Where would I post such a thread? Is there anything in the design that should be changed? It is just a thought for the moment, but I am interested in what you guys have to say to a potential ... say $50 vanity item.
