Hey guys!

I've been working on a project with my two bcf's and bcr controllers.
I want to make one big controller out of it. I have a friend who can make
the wooden / metal casing. Since i use the bcf's in mackie emulation mode and
the bcr in 1 preset wich controls all i need. I want to have custom faceplates too
so all the exact functions are displayed.

Now here's the problem, how can i print these words on a metal faceplate?
Are there stores or something where i can let them do that for a small fee?
Or can i do it by myself? I thought of making a sticker template and cut the words
out then painting it on. But this seems impossible since the letters are soo damn small.

Some ideas would really be apriciated, i will post pics when i get started/finish the product!
I hope you can help me with this so i can start today!

Thanx

if youre making it out of metal, you could try going to a trophy place and getting them to engrave it for you?
or just get one of those label makers for a more DIY look

not at home atm but theres a german site i know of that does custom laser etching and cutting for faceplates for custom gear
try to remember to dig it out for you

look up circuit board priniting at home... they make these special kits where you print your text out on this lil card, lay the card down n put this acidetch jelly stuff on it... then you just gotta put some paint in the recesses it makes.

That's it! Thanx alot ima try ordering a kit. Since i like customizing it will definitely come in use later anyway.


For the people using a BCF in mackie mode, i've made a template some time ago.
The only thing you need to do is print it out on sticker paper and paste it on the
bcf. It has all functions on it. I will post it in a new thread.
