Thanks mate; you did some very fine work on your version of this design. I may just take you up on that offer, maybe to cut the logo for the back and or the marquee logo also? Can you cut from a DXF or DWG file?
The LASER itself runs on DXF but I run everything through Corel X6 so I can convert just about any file format.

I could even see some of my graphics being placed on a bastardized version of this ;D
I'll certainly be watching with gusto!
I'm trying to imagine how your going to be able to open it to maintain the internal components.
The only feasible option i could think is your going to create some form of a trap door on the underneath panel?

If it was me i'd try to do some stenciling. When i look at the concept model i just see an abundance of angles. Opposed to the rounded motif.
It may work better to bring that angular feel into the control panel?
I'd use the same blue your painting on the side and rear on the CP and bring the grey from the bezel down as well.
here's a raw idea...

Great design as usual :cheers:. When I first saw your mockup the first cabinet that popped to mind was STERN's BERZERK. I think if they had your cabinet desiging skill back in the day the BERZERK cabinet would have looked great as your xENOLIx cabinet. Sorry I took the liberty of lowercasing the Xs. Looks kinda cool. Some mentioned stencils and it clicked. I messed around on illustrator for about 15 minutes and this is what I came up with. Do what you wish with it, you'll probably come up with something infinately more awesome, but....

If you want to mess around with the illustrator file let me know.

And then in a flash I had it! In the coming days I'll post up a mod for this stick to make it silent and super SHMUP responsive. Also the mod can be reverted back to standard JLF in about 30 seconds (not including wiring connections). For now its secret OND business >:D

They also have a mod kit with Zippyy switches (http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/en/microswitches/531-silent-jlf-modification-zippy.html) and a .187" QD to JLF-style adapter harness or a kit with Cherry switches (http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/en/microswitches/532-silent-jlf-modification-cherry.html) and a .187" QD to JLF-style adapter harness.

The restrictor being smaller and sitting closer to the joystick body causes the ledge on the actuator to catch occasionally.
Silent omron switches work, but for what they cost, you could almost buy the basic optical setup.
The plan for my new cab was to use the SparkCE sensor and replace the adjustment pot with some type of command line controlled variable resistor. So for shmups, it could be super sensitive and for 4-way games, the sensetivity would be low enough only one switch would be tripped at a time. I'm not done looking, but the best idea I've come up with so far for a computer controlled resistor is an LED and a photosensor.
Sigh, the more I talk about this idea, the more I want to do it, so I guess I'll go ahead and order the SparkCEs. ::)
Hope I'm not :banghead: when I see Ond's solution.

Nope, this is the real thing complete with glowing marquee and rear logo and glowing front edge ;D. selfie did a plastic version of my design last year.
a nice subtle dig at me taking the easy way out without the marquee :P ;D ;D Looking good so far. The offer to LASER cut anything still stands too.

On the masking material, there is a signwriters vinyl specifically for masking that can be run through a vinyl cutter like a normal cut sticker. Also Application tape, the low tack masking tape, that is used to hold cut vinyl stickers together works well as a mask provided you use a very sharp knife to cut it.

Inspiring would be understated for me, his work is truly astonishing! If only I had OND's tools and even a small fraction of his skill set I would follow.

I agree with the sentiments re amazing quality of work - also agree with OND re it turning out the build process is just as enjoyable (maybe more so) than playing on the finished article with your mates (or seeing a commissioned cab being just for the first time by the customer) - thanks for the amazing inspiration and creative ways you guys share with us on how to approach different challenges in this hobby of ours :applaud:

Test fit CP and bezel to cab just with tape to make sure everything is nice and square and flush along joins.
This might be a dumb question, but did you cut that bezel using a 45 degree chamfer bit?
That is what I use to do mine, but I swear yours seems sharper and less rounded at the corners. It could also be that my eye are bad ;D

You mentioned this coating is Bondo (unless I misunderstood what you were talking about). If so what kind of Bondo is that? I've heard of people using Plastic Bondo, and figured that is what you used here but I cannot find any myself.
