Hello Everybody! Things are rocking right along here. I hope everybody is staying busy and having a great holiday season. Until I take delivery of a laser cutter, I have use of several at the shop. The first project is a HUD display. No moving parts, Lighting is optional. As far as I can tell, it will be two front to back rails that fit on your instrument panel cover, these rails will then hold the flat plate slightly above their base so that panel curve is not an issue. It will have a large circle on the outside and a target circle on the inside. This is only something for your pleasure use... no moving parts... no electronic connections. The lighted version will have the circle and any other marks made in the display lit up in whatever color you want. The etching from the laser captures the light from the LED's placed at the bottom. It's reallllllly cool!. I'll have pics pretty soon of the prototype. If you have any ideas on how you want yours made, please send the ideas to wallis aviation at hotmail dot com.
I can do custom HUD's. Send me 25 bucks, that will cover shipping and a donation to Doug. The lit version will be a little bit more. Still working out the details. A great place to see examples of the lighting is on youtube. Look up Edge Lit LED sign. The inspection panel covers are next out of acrylic. If anyone wants to send me a file, I'll cut one for you so you can try it out. Specify the thickness and color if any and I'll let you try it out at cost.
If anybody wants anything else cut out with a laser, please let me know. The laser will mark on metal but not cut it if you need tools marked. 1 Buck per tool to start out.... The work area is generally 24x18 inches.
