Instead of vinyl cutting a sticker for the speaker holes on the front you should just drill actual holes!

I thought of that ofcourse ... I went this this idea ...

All button pocket cuts are at .25in deep then I will add acrylic inlays buttons at .50 deep to create a little 2.5d action ...

Stickers?


Don't do something like stickers.  Put actual working controls in there.  Make it useable just make sure your friends don't throw it or you will have a BIG hole in the wall.

They look great.
Would you mind posting the vinyl file? Any format is fine. (using Silhouette Studio, Corel Draw w/ST4, & LXi Master).

Thanks.

Not to nitpick, but in what country do you live where the LEDs are green and red instead of blue? :P

Thanks you in advance. Email sent.

Regarding vinyl costs (lol Green) . It's super pricey here too. It's actually cheaper to pay the import/custom fees and order from Miami, FL than to purchase it locally.
