Habedere,

if you missed the 12th part (Profil cover); here it is:
Project: Casemod - Hardware@Wall - Profil cover

I started with the plexiglass cover.
Normally this is the right area for a project name, but the project doesn't have special or sexy one, neither I had any sponsors.
So I decided to use my "name" which will be displayed in that area.

I printed out the name and glued it to some 3mm MDF.

After that I cut out every single letter with a fretsaw.

The area behind the plexiglass was equipped with a SMD led strip.

Then there was a tricky step that has to be done.
First I glued in the MDF letters cover, then I glued in the plexiglass cover and last I glued the MDF main cover to the MDF main panel.
A lot of gluing :)
Then I had to cut blindly trough the leather, so that in the end only the plexi cover is visible.
I used some markers on the edges of the main panel as reference.
And yeah, It works perfect.

Then I combined the frame with the main panel.

On the main panel I cut out the areas for the led SMD strips.

To mount the frame I use this screws.

This is the pass-through to the overlay and the main panel to the backside.

I'm going to mount the hardware to the panel.
Servus and cu next time.
