frankstripodHow Awesome is Hackaday for Collaborating and Getting Help?
First: I won the Show Us Your Human Interface; Win Laser Cutting Time contest: a $100 gift card for Ponoko laser cutting service!
ANYONE COULD HAVE WON! There were only 28 entries in a thirty prize contest.
Second: My prototype buttons are being printed thanks to @Alpha Charlie and his Mini Kossel Delta 3D printer. It is so amazing to see a design go from virtual to reality.
The first buttons are being printed with NinjaFlex Water Semi-transparent. Under normal light, they appear white and in need some fine tuning. That is being worked on; more on that soon.
The back light test
was fantastic.
In the dark and with a dim green LED.
There are more videos about the printer build linked on @Alpha Charlie's profile page, just below the mandatory Tesla Coil every mad scientist should have.

Jesus, frankstripod - your progress is astounding!
Glad you won a prize for this - I wish I had put my switcher in for it as well as my PI Video player!
I've just cashed in my Ponoko coupon ysterday for my Video player's enclosure - can't wait until it's shipped! Once I've assembled that I will be turning my attentions to getting my switcher up to scratch :-)
Are you sure? yes | no
Thanks. Can't wait to see pictures of the case for https://hackaday.io/project/5700-pi-video-player

Ah, thanks buddy! I am going to burst if I don't get it early; got to wait until 8th August for an estimated delivery! I wished I lived in America though; over half of the $100 coupon went on shipping... :-/
