Cutting trackball hole in plexiglass (revisited)

<< < (12/13) > >>

cheers for that, teef

Why does it matter how you cut the hole for the trackball?  Isn't the metal trackball mounting plate going to cover the plexiglass?  As lon as the hole is bigger than 3" diameter but less than 6", the mounting plate will provide a perfect opening and the rest of the plexiglass will be hidden.

Or were the people here talking about not using a mounting plate?

Right. They were discussing a blind mounting where the mounting plate is hidden beneath the plexi and CP artwork.

exposed mounting plate is a serious MAME faux pas.  Don't remember ever seeing a missile command or a marble madness with an exposed mounting plate.    :)

I'm gonna do an all-mounting plate CP.  Exposed trackball plate, exposed joystick plates, maybe I can even fabricate some button mounting plates to leave exposed.  Put that in your pipe and smoke it, MAMEY-Man!  :P
