Dust Wahsers aren't Janky.....
They are suppose to go on top of the plexi man....
Why mask the hole underneath the graphic, it's gonna be hidden....
Ok....i just have to see what genius you have on this one....
That sir is not Janky :)
rablack97:
I see what your saying though...small hole in the plexi, for the stick only. You've got those arrows working, so i get it....

No they aren't. It's an option.

There has been discussion over the past years and the consensus seems to be that when under mounting on a metal CP that under is best. When under mounting on a wood CP that top is best (to prevent a channel of dust) however top mounting under the art is really the best of both worlds and the ideal application in this case - in short I 100% agree with the OP that this is the way to go. A lot of folks that favor dust washers on top for aestic reasons played more wood panel games in the late 80s early 90s. Most of the under crowd harkens to ten years prior.
Although your panel (rablack) is very nice let's reference some of the builds that were voted as the best by the community this last year.
Pixel Hugger's Mission Control
Martijn's Marvel vs Capcom
Fearsomefearful's Pac-Man 30th Anniversary
Out of 4 fullsize uprights only one had the washers on top (knievel's not pictured). To the OP: When choosing a group of builders to emulate you're always in good company with PixelHugger, Martijn, and WellFedGames. :cheers:

One of the things that attracted me to this hobby (after the lure of being able to play Tempest in my underwear) was that I could express myself in the design and artistry of the cabinet. Some things are NOT matters of opinion; LEDs have to be hooked to the right voltage and polarity, monitors and outputs have to have matched resolutions, and pixelhugger is the greatest builder of all time. Most of what we do though is subject to personal taste and desire.
My dust washers are on top. Yours are under. I say potato, you say grapefruit.
I like the advice I hear given often around this wonderful community: look around at what others have done and do some version of what appeals to you.
At the end of the day you are the only one that has to be happy with the result.

Thanks for those examples, I'm glad I'm not going crazy.
I couldn't remember where I had absorbed that information from (probably Martjyn) all the posts start to blur into one after a while but I knew I had seen someone talking about it somewhere.
Now if I can just work out how to embed that rotating refrigerated gumball dispenser then I'll be set.
