[This is cross posted from here<\/a>.]<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pictured up above is v1.0 of my x0xb0x main panel (600dpi version here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I am going to be having ten of these panel overlays printed, and I will be making eight available to others who have made x0xb0xes as well. I’m not completely certain of the cost yet, but it should be around US$30 – US$40 each for a heavy plastic (5mil Lexan) label with all holes (bolt, switch, button, knob, and LED) cut out.<\/p>\n

Current I’m waiting on a second set of samples from the printer to decide exactly which printing process I wish to go with, then I’ll be able to give a more solid price. As soon as I have a solid, final price and the order is placed, I’ll let people know then I’ll be able to accept payment for the labels.<\/p>\n

With regards to cost, note that I’m not making a profit on these. The price I charge will be for the printing of the panel, shipping (to me, then out to you), and PayPal fees. I’m not interested in profiting here, just getting my panel design printed up for myself and others at a reasonable price. The per-piece price is going to be a bit high because of both the high printing quality low count of pieces made.<\/p>\n

Or, conversely, if you wish to try printing the panel yourself or redesigning it, I’ve got the following files available for your use:<\/p>\n

Printable:
\n– v1.0 @ 300dpi w\/ bleed<\/a>
\n– v1.0 @ 600dpi w\/ bleed<\/a><\/p>\n

Design:
\n– Adobe Illustrator CS file I put together for designing panels.<\/a> (This will be very<\/em> useful if you wish to design a panel overlay for yourself.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All of the three aforementioned files plus a 600dpi version of the image up top are available in a bundle: x0xb0x_mainpanel_overlay_v1.0.zip<\/a><\/p>\n

The Illustrator file requires two fonts, Interstate Bold and Stop. These are not provided in the bundle. The text is placed in the file both as laid-out text and outlines, though, so if you aren’t modifying the current text they won’t be needed.<\/p>\n

Additionally, I should note that the all-seeing eye logo was appropriated (and modified) without permission from the side of a box of Steve Jackson Games<\/a>‘s Illuminati: New World Order<\/a>. I’m not sure of the legality of this, but hopefully it’s not a problem as no one is profiting from these panels and it’s of very limited use.<\/p>\n

So, that’s it. If you are interested in a panel, please reply to this thread saying that you are definitely interested purchasing one. The first 8 replies will get the first 8 panels.<\/p>\n

And yes, I’ll be certain to post a photograph of final, printed panel before I even begin accepting payment for them.<\/p>\n
