Process
Prototype
- Spend forever fighting dxf files and inkscape. Eventually get design into right format for laser cutter.
- Cut out sides and back of box on laser cutter
- Cut out clear perspex front
- Apply mirrored privacy window film to one side of the clear perspex front. Trim film to exact size of perspex with a scalpel.
- Making sure everything's really clean, use cool-temp hot glue gun to glue everything together
- Glue in LEDs and attempt to wire up everything
- ???
- Profit
