Just getting an idea down as to the shape of this thing so there will be some fine tuning.
This will be going up a flight of stairs so will be making it modular for ease of transport. So 4 sections: base, control panels - there will be several , screen and audio, marquee. I'll be using knurled clamping knobs and threaded inserts to clamp the sections together. I used these quite effectively to clamp my HOTAS mounts onto the the arms of a Poang chair recently.
The 'joins' between the sections will be recessed slightly and I may add some recessed acrylic / artwork to the sides in the monitor/audio panel, something I've done before. Not sure on this yet though:
It will be finished in a robust flat black paint (as per the mounts in the previous picture) and will not include any t-molding - all of the joins will be squared off with a minimum amount of rounding on the edges. I hope that this, in conjunction with the flat black, will give the impression of weight and solidity.
I wish I had sketchup skills ...
I'm currently thinking about the colour scheme and design for the control panels and marquee. I also have to come up with a name.
I do have a spare 27 inch G-Sync monitor which I'll be using for the build. I'd like the black level to be slightly darker than it is - does anyone have any experience on using tinted glass or acrylic to help with this?
I've also applied a small amount of silicone grease to one the u360FS's as after a bit of use, it was 'creaking' a little. It's now gone and feels nice and fluid.
