  • Hey everyone, I am back with another tutorial! This was a heavily requested one after a sign i posted on multiple facebook groups, so I decided I will get one knocked out with my next sign I make! I have included links down below for the mentioned products in the video as well for help with ordering!
    If you have any special requests for any tutorials comment and let me know and I will try to get it done!

    Really wanted to see how you put it together...instead I got mostly video of your back/body blocking what you were doing.

    Thanks for inspiring me to do signs with LEDs behind. Your sign look wonderful. I've got an Atomstack x20 in my basement to go along with my 3d printers.I appreciate all you work in the the video. Stephen Sexton

    Nice! I would probably use squares instead of circles for the standoffs. More surface area for the LEDs to stick to.

    Very creative sign. Love it. Why not cut up a bunch of dowels for the stand off height instead of all those little circular spacers? One dowel instead of a stack of little spacers.

    • @SodaCityBoards

      This was some of the first ones I’ve done and that was what I thought of at the time. I am trying to find a smarter way to do it!

    Nice! I was hoping you would show your process after seeing the Bagger one in the group. Why not use a CA Glue for sticking all the little spacers together? Would speed up that part a lot I would think.
    Keep up the good work!

    You used a Atomstack A5pro, but yet you left a link for the xtool?

      I cut out with the Atomstack A20 Pro this go around since it cut out faster - but normally all of my stuff is done with my xTool.

    What are your laser settings and that's an awesome view of your back as you are laying out the ring and other parts.....LOL This is constructive criticism.. you need to get a little bit more organized before you start a video... Maybe do a dry run through.. Spent too much time watching your back and listening to you talk away from the camera
