Display bezels 737

[Wendy]

Hello,

It's been a while since I last posted some results. Today I show you the display bezels that I have made, of course with my CNC.

Still missing the big screw on the right hand corner. Here is the picture.

Wendy,

Great job on the bezels, in case you're interested you can use the PC case closing screws, which have the knurled section in place the large screws you are missing. They're available from Maplins for just a couple of pence.

Joe.

Awesome job. You must spend hours drawing and then cutting.

@Milt
The most difficult part was how to get the strange curve in the bottom corners correct. That took me weeks to think how to do it. Finally, when I started cutting, it was easy.
A lot of work is sanding the MDF, painting and sanding again and painting...

@Joe
Thanks for the tip


Thanks for the nice comments

Hi Wendy,

Nice job!!!
Can you explain how you made the corners at the bottom side?
And do you have measurements of the bezels?

Best regards

Wow! Seriously nice work! Me wants :)

[Wendy]

Hello,

Thanks, but I have no plans for a webshop, but if someone needs something, I'm always prepared to make it for you. If it is not urgent, you can always sent me a PM.

How I did it:
-With 2 rounded squares
-The first rounded square cuts the slope all the way around with a special mil.
-The second rounded square is the same one as the first one, except it is shifted towards the bottom of the display bezel. This one is milled with a normal endmil and the only thing that is milled away is the slope on the bottom of the display.

Thanks Joe for the link

Absolutely. That is a jigsaw and can be used to do what you are looking to do. Just remember that the quality of the cuts will not be the same and you will have to be very careful when using the saw. Saws, just like CNC machine are made to cut material, they do not know the difference between flesh and any other material you may be cutting. Take extreme care and get an adults permission to use the saw.

Hi Wendy,

They look nice!!!
I'ke to mill them my self, so can you give me some measurements of the bezels?
What size of display behind are you using?

Best regards

Jan Geurtsen

[Wendy]

Hey Jan,

They are 209 mm wide and 212 mm high and that is perfect for a 19" monitor and should be the size of a real one.

[Jan737]

Hi Wendy
Thanks for the quick reply.
Can you tell me also the inner measurments and the thicknes?

Jan





Hey Jan,

Measurements on the inside are 182 mm wide and 179 mm high. Thickness on the inside is 9 mm and the outside is 6 mm. I took 3 mm of the back (around the outside of the bezel) so that there is no space between the monitor and the bezel.

nice nice.... nice enough to buy. Do you sell?

[Wendy]

Yes I can make them for you. Just sent me a PM.

Hi Wendy,
You could halve your work by using 6mm PVC sheet! These bezels take me about 12 minutes to machine, I remove the shine with 400 wet and dry, clean with prepsol and paint then paint them with epoxy enamel. This is about 20 minutes for each piece, the bottom strip with the hinge is a seperate piece which is a 5 minute cut. I intend to mount my monitor control strips under the hinged piece, when the LCD monitors are removed from there casings the control PCB and buttons come out aswel and it is easy to relocate, this solves the issue of adjusting monitors easily!!

Hi everyone,
Just wondered if anyone would be willing to let me have a copy of the GCode or LCam file so I can make my own- i have just bought a small 300x400mm CNC and am running mach 3. - I quite understand if you dont want to part with the code as I know it takes a lot of work but if you can help me out that would be great.
cheers
Steve

ps otherwise I would quite happily buy some Wendy / Gwyn

[Wendy]

Hey Gwyn,

Well that's also the way I do it. Except I use 9 mm so that they are sunking into the MIP (3 mm taken away on the back of the bezel). That way you will see 6 mm. on top of the MIP but but on the inside they are 9 mm. which brings them closer to the monitor.

@Steve
