I appreciate this tutorial and the different way of doing it. I love the idea of being able to buy these lights in bulk and then change out then separate colors for the silicone cover. To me, this seems more cost effective rather than buying a bunch of lights in different colors. Wiring seems much cleaner, too.

Your video is awesome, I will try it for my project, thank you.❤❤❤

Thanks so much for this great tutorial! I always wondered how these lights were made! Super cool! (And kudos to you for both routing & soldering!) You are talented, and the sign looks GREAT!

This is amazing! Thanks so much, If someone wanted to put the power cord through the back of the sign where would you recommend drilling the hole so the sign looks clean?

@LoveandLyteSignss

You could drill through the channel and feed the wiring through the back. Then just overlap the LED strip to hide where the wiring is coming out!

Can you share with us the thickness pf the engrave you did and how you connect the led light with an adaptor of light

Can I ask what type of font you use to have the even size through out the text, to fit the silicone? Also, what led and silicone do you use? Thanks so much, signs look awesome!

I like these as opposed to the traditional neon flex. How do I find these style led?

What speed did you cut the plexiglass at because I'm having a problem with it melting the plastic and it's a pain to clean it all out of the groves?

Did your plug come with your lights or do you have a link to the one you used?

Great video, I have used tried to find the product you are using with no success can you give the links pleasethank you very much

I can’t find the silicon insert anywhere online in the uk, they all have leds inside! Where can I get this?

What settings do you have for your end mill and also what cut pattern do you add i cant figure it out 😭

What type of bit do you use when doing the grooves?

Hi, i didn't get clean cuts. What speeds do you use?

Do you have sources for the separated lights now that Amazon isn’t carrying it?

Where did you get the silicone cutting tools, I don’t see them on your Amazon list. Thanks!

How did you trace the cursive font on Inkscape?

Can you post the info about your CNC setup? I also prefer the detail of "neon" signs using separate LEDs and silicone rather than the other type. I like your machine setup.

Hi can u make a vidéo review your cnc please?

Are you using a slotting bit to cut the channel in the acrylic or just a regular straight bit? It seems like the silicone will stay in the groove either way?

May I ask .. how hard is it to learn how to use the makersmade cnc ? I’ve been wanting to get one but wanted to talk to someone who has it

what wire do you use to make solder connections?

Thanks for the very helpful video. Can you tell me if covering the LED's with the thin wires will dim the covered LED's a lot where you can notice dark spots when they are covered with the silicone diffuser or is it best to place the wires to the sides of the LED's so they won't obstruct them?

@LoveandLyteSignss

I would make sure the wires are on the sides. More noticable on the white, but when it's photographed there isnt really a noticable difference.
