R2G2

[TwistdDeth]

Here is a GuitarPCB R2G2 board with my interpretation of the enclosure. I used overhead projector film for the toner transfer. I only etched the R2D2 and the lettering with a Q-tip and muriatic acid. I drilled the control position indicators with a 3/32" bit only allowing it to turn just enough to complete the diameter. Clear chicken heads from Tayda, pots from small bear, enclosure from Mammoth, & GPCB's Excellent board and wire. Also the pot leds are connected to the DC jack separate from the board, one wire with 3 splices with clr's connected to the wire and LED then a daisy chain from each LED to ground. For the graphic, I drafted it on draftsight software which is similar to AutoCAD but free.

The black and blue fill in R2 is a really nice touch.

Thanks, I have a zombie themed etch in the works.

Very nice. I like the blue lettering on aluminium

Too too cool.

[pickdropper]

Awesome.  Great attention to detail on the case.

That colouring is SERIOUSLY impressive. It looks like a machine-made production unit!

Aw man, that's fantastic. The July contest is going to be fierce!

A whole lot of effort gone in to this one, looks killer mate. Love the drilled pot indicator markers , that wouldn't have been easy, all the best, Matt.

That's incredible attention to detail!  Really painstaking.  I'm blown away by the fact that you drilled all those indicator markers

How do you like the circuit?  I built one a while back, but it's a bit woolly for my taste.

[TwistdDeth]

Would it shock you that the majority of my time spent on the etch was all prep work and maybe an hour of actual etching. Thank you everyone for the comments.

Amazing finish!!  I really need to learn how to do that.   

I have built many of Barry's projects from GuitarPCB, but R2G2 is one of my favorites.

This is extremely good! It must have taken a lot of effort to paint R2. I will have to try the Q-tip method sometime.
