A guy (Sam) with a very nice home built CNC stopped by a recent meeting asking if people had ideas for CNC projects. Bloominglabs doesn't have a nice sign outside our office space, so that is something we need to fix.
The current plan is to come up with a side-lit LED sign. There are numerous sites and projects on-line to look to for inspiration and information:
Online Projects
Materials
- Machinable PETG (recommended for indoors)
- Machinable acrylic
- LED tape (around $30, best would be RGB for multi-colored possibility)
- http://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Color-Changing-Ribbon-16-4ft/dp/B006JIWM4Y
- http://ledshoppe.com/Product/led/LE5045.htm

- Aluminum for the case
- Power Supply (12VDC)
- Arduino or microcontroller to make the display do cool things.
