Cyberpunk Advertising Signs
Creating an enclosure for the LCD screen
While it appears quite slim, once removed from the original enclosure, the LCD is about 3mm this, it’s still stuck to a PCB that’s nearly 2mm thick, and on the back of that there are some surface mount components that increase the thickness again by another 3mm or so.
All in all, it’s going to need a decent sized enclosure, not just a cardboard facia to look anything like an actual billboard.
My resin printer is currently churning out vampires for my other diorama (https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1511034/) and the Tronxy/FDM machine was recently moved across the workshop and still hasn’t been set up fully with a flat, level bed.
So I thought I’d burn some wood and see how that looked!
And, in short, I think with a lick of paint, I might get away with it. I’ve been laser-cutting anyway, to create a mix of high- and low- rise cyberpunk buildings. This one, for example, is a newsstand.
I thought I might make a series of newspaper/magazine spoof headlines for it (Agent Brown Ate My Hamster – that kind of thing). Seeing it now, I think I probably need to make a version in landscape as well as portrait.
But that’ll require a new firmware. Maybe I can tackle that tomorrow….
