My respect for you has grown Brian. To intentionally give us this color display using a purpose built layer is a dedication to a design that is just impressive.
Kudos to you good sir!
Edit: a little more details so as to not seem like pure gushing: my first computer had a 4 tone orange/yellow CRT built into it (IBM 5155) and as a result, I have a great affinity for that type of display.
My work machines acrylic all the time. I’m gonna mill out some translucent red lens (to mach the 101&102 and Pamela’s). I’ll post photos in case anyone’s interested.
If you like, a bit of superglue does the trick, I did this when I replaced the Harvestman module windows. Just the tiniest amount, here and there along the shelf, or it ends up all over the place!
Be careful with superglue (CA based glues), most of them will cloud transparent plastics. Don’t know if it applies to acrylic.
If someone really wants to use a super glue to fix transparent plastics, i know the BSI Super Gold + works well. Use very sparingly. Source : one of my other hobbies is building scale rc trucks.
Thanks for posting the measures for the amber lens! I love the color but i’d love to see pictures of other screen colors is anyone modded their module.
I thought I had destroyed a pane by doing just that with a cheap cyanoacrylate superglue, argh moment, bit annoyed with myself, etc… but it just wipes off acrylic with a little bit of isopropanol - I was surprised, I thought it would melt it!
