Re: The G/H USCM Locker Control Panel
Couldn't have done it without your help.
After receiving quite a bit of wonderful feedback on my locker control panel, one common remark comes up all too often. What are you planning to do about the buttons? At this point in the game, I’m not planning to do anything with the buttons and leave that little customizing detail up to the individual fans. However, there are several quite genius ideas already floating around and it is my intention to outline some of them here.
So kick back, relax with a beverage of your choice. Hang out for a few minutes. I do hope that you enjoy the brief little slide show that is about to follow.
Customizing the USCM Locker Control Panel
For the next stage of button customization, you are going to need to carefully mark and drill out pilot holes for each of the button stems.
Here, I simply polished the holes and made them a bit more uniform.
Option 1: Thumb tacks from the hardware section of a local department store. This pack is about 47 cents. They come in both white and chrome so they will need to be painted.
Not a difficult thing to paint because the already come mounted on a piece of corrugated cardboard.
Carefully set in place and wait for someone to develop some decals for this.
Option 2: Upholstery Nails, again from the hardware section of a local department store. This pack costs 97 cents and to my delight, already come painted to fit my needs.
Carefully set in place and wait for someone to develop some decals for this.
Option 3: Custom 3D printed, screen accurate buttons. Still calculating the cost of typical production for these. They do require some painting.
I was able to knock these out in an evening. Best job I ever had.
Carefully set in place and let the world kindly admire your handy work.

I do hope this little presentation helps to answer some common questions regarding the one little detail that I have apparently forgotten.
