Hey Haruman,
thanks for your first post. I`m surprised that you post such a message without taking the time to review my design completely.
Perhaps you consider to take some of my ideas into your work :
- Exchangable CPO : Why do you glue the CPO Plate into your Bartop? It`s just simple to design combination of Wood, Aluminium Plate and Acryl Faceplate. This way you could exchange the CPO and use different Button layouts and even trackballs.
- Connector Panel in the back wall. I was wondering why you didn't foresee any cutouts for the PSU plug, switches and probably USB output ports. If you foresee USB output port one could connect keyboard,mouse, harddisk for jukebox or even a second external gamecontroller. You still`ve one of my dual strike for free for review reason. Perhaps you could try this one on your bartop
- Open edges in your design. I was wondering why you use open edges in the front and on the back on your bartop design. If you consider my design then one don't has to paint the open edges.
- Backdoor
How do you intend to fix backdoor ? I`m using a cut for a lock.
- Bottom
Why did you place the bottom in your design such high. There is space about 15-20mm. Thus normal enclosure feet can't be assembled and the bartop has to placed on the Molding. That means one will have scratches on the bartop all over the bottom side.
- Side part shape.
Next design will have a more round design to simplify the assembly of the Molding.
- Assembly with bags and slot cuts.
For the serial production I scratch the idea with milling the bag and slots because it's not accurate enough.
- Fixing of bezel
I`ve foreseen some fixing for the bezel. How do you handle this?
- Marquee box.
In your design I don't see any cut for closing the light box. Thus the light from the LED strips will shine light on the acryl giving a mirror effect. How do you handle this?
Would be nice if you take a look at my points.
