[quote][i]Originally posted by Dom[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by ed[/i] One thought is, there's nothing stopping you making the lightbox partitions from thick cardboard and sticking it together with masking tape to seal all the gaps. You could then make a wooden surround from MDF which the partitions sit in - that would be much easier to cut as you could use a really sharp Stanley on the cardboard. You could also design it to sit in a photo frame from Ikea - they do some really deep ones which could look good. You can buy the PCB etching stuff from Maplin, but ideally you'd need a UV lightbox and use photoresist coated stock rather than drawing the PCB out with a pen. You can also use a method called toner transfer to which is a bit more accurate than pen. [/quote] Wouldn't it be cheaper to purchase an Arduino (can pick them up for less than a tenner) and use a load of LED drivers if you haven't got the etching equipment? As John said though, seen it before on MAKE but it's a pretty cool project :cool: Btw, what soldering iron are you using? And is it any good as i'm needing a new one?
