FMC upper button line Colour

Hello, can anyone suggest the correct 'Marker to use on the lines?

After 16hrs of printing the Front Facia, i would like to have a professional look in white but unsure whether to use a water base or an oil base type pen. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Max,

Here's the link to 'Thiniverse' where i got it from.

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4878470

if you need any info regarding the 'Arduino' setup files, please feel free to ask.

The displays were sourced from ebay and the driver boards were from amazon.

[It's quite compact inside when wiring up all the parts, but it's worth it. Paused the top layer in Cura to change the filament to white.

Hope this hepls..

Hi Mike,

I use these:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/edding-5300-Acrylic-Marker-fine/dp/B08HS4N7SM/ref=sr_1_6?crid=H6UYW3FEVBW8&keywords=white+eddy+paint+pen&qid=1680865904&sprefix=white+eddy+paint+pen%2Caps%2C76&sr=8-6

Easy to apply and for a really good finish apply two coats after the first has dried for at least an hour.

Kind Regards, Karl

Hi Karl,

Many thanks. I will have a look at these. Yesterday tried this on a test front half of a facia. As you can see not good[Photo 3&4]. I am totally hooked on your superb designs after completing the MCP and also finished a Radio panel[See photo's]. Can't thank you enough. Your an inspiration to all 'flight simmers'

Kind Regards,

Mike

Enjoy your Bank Holiday !

P.S. If anyone is interested i printed the 'front facia panel' in Cura with 0.20 layer height and used the "experimental adaptive layers turned on[0.04mm]. Looks impressive..

Hi Mike,

Thanks
