Hello community. I found this video and wonder how he made ​​the bargraph. Is this a plexiglass? or what is it? has anyone of you an idea?

That is the side of a CD cover over the regular LED bar graph.

@ CPU64 that is ■■■■■■■ awesome .

and so easy when you know it.

I’ll be on my CD shelf and thought it over. Yes it’s true. Thank you CPU for the quick reply.

Is there something for the Power Cell Light?

I have an idea about it too since i made it, hehe

@bigi71

First i had to get the old one off the gun and then i repainted this area on the gun to make it look like it was never changed. After that was done i could focus on the actual piece, i made a frame out of black plastic again but this time i used a piece of clear ribbed plastic from the side of a cd jewelcase to make the window part which sits inside the frame. Then i took a pastic blister package from some alien action figure and used superglue to attach the frame and the window to the thin clear plastic. This is what it looked like before cutting the excess off:

After i got smooth edges with a file and some sandpaper i just had to attach it to the gun, for that i used clear adhesive tape and also cyanacrylate glue again.

Its made of four layers, first one is thin clear plastic, second one is the black frame with the cd case part inside, third one is double sided clear adhesive tape, fourth is a sheet of thin clear plastic again.

You can find some more pics of it in my pack build thread.
