The design was drawn in Inkscape and cut by Ponoko as usual. The
font I used is Linux Libertine.
I found 2×3×4 mm LEDs from eBay that could be inserted into 2 mm
acrylic elegantly. Unfortunately the tolerances were a bit off, so
I had to persuade the plates with some filing. I had made also top
and bottom pieces to go to the 'teeth' on the top and bottom, but
the acrylic was 0.1+a bit mm thicker than specified, so the error
accumulated to more than 1 mm. I had tried to anticipate this, so I
had a 1 mm version of the bracket... not enough.
Some copper tape was added to each plate to reduce light bleeding
to adjacent plates. I also used the tape to bind the plates
together.
The whole thing is about 4×5½×2 cm, which is about 2 match boxes.
I had two of these made, so if you want to buy the other one,
message me!
