Lately, I've been using plain ol' sticker paper from Staples (the kind you can stick to stuff, like a kid's sticker), and putting that on the back of the face plate 'cause it's see the see thru type. Putting it on the front will work too, but will wear in time, so cover it up with another piece of clear sticker paper.Originally Posted by hoops2006
The major problem I've found is that in sunlight, the colors fade after awhile.
But it is dirt cheap....

I also use this method, work pretty well, and yeah darn cheap.

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

Ill give it a try. Problem is i sell timers that i made a while back. im trying to make them look less home made. So if any one knows a hobbist silk screener preferablly uk based, let me know

Here's my first attempt with simple stuff using that method... long time ago. Sorry i don't have any decent camera here..

It does look good. Also noticed u managed to cut a square in ur box for the seven segment display. Did u buy the box pre cut or use a dremel.

Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

You can use Dremel, some kind of knockout punches (or punch and dies) or the ol' method... drill a hole, then shape it with files... i used punches and dies.

Dies? who dies??
OK, seriously, a hand tool like file or dremel sure will help, but if you plan to use 20/month then I would suggest a home made CNC machine. There are a lot of plans on the net usually they are simple stepper motor driver with cheap IC's and mostly driven by the common G-code lanquage. Don't be scared by the CNC term. It's an easy to build machine.
