Top mounted & recessed joys....will my artwork dent inward?

(1/2) > >>

pinballwizard79:
So I want a new control panel right?

Going to go all out, flush mount everything all nice & purdy.

I have a question for everyone out there with recessed & flush top mounted items (trackball, joys & etc).

If I set my joystick in the top of the control panel & its flush but since a huge part of the joystick isnt flat (meaning the edges of the joy are higher than the rest of the device) if I lay a CPO over the joys & then a plexi I know it would be smooth & flat on top but would the art dent in towards the lower part of the joys & leave an indentation?

WWBYOACD?

Neverending Project:
I believe he is talking about flush-mounting one of these from the top of the CP, and then putting plexi over it. Since there is a recess in the joystick housing, would that cause a visible issue with the CP art?

pinballwizard79:
Yep, exactly what I am talking about

Franco B:
The first thing that popped into my head would be to sandwich the art between two acrylic layers.

You could put a 2mm acrylic sheet on top of your control panel, put the artwork on top of that and then put another 2mm acrylic sheet on top as your top CP surface.

LeedsFan:
^  You could do exactly what France says above. But I'm cheap :P so I'd probably fill the recess out with bits of cut-out card to make it flush.  I'm not sure the art would drop into that small a space anyway, but I would fill the gap with card just to be sure.
