When you design your grooves, is the length of the channels calculated so that the cut marks on the strip line up perfectly at the ends?

@Spectron

2 жыл бұрын

It's near enough, but not exact as you can cut the side of the neon to expose the solder pads then close it back up again

how does this kind of sign do outdoors? does silicone degrade in UV? I was thinking of this for a boat

Awesome! How would one go about making a sign like this weatherproof for outdoor use? Looking to make the same sign with the word “Vacancy” but would need it to be outdoor all the time.

@Spectron

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! For external use, you need to be absolutely certain that any connection and exposed end of the neon flex has been waterproofed using waterproof end caps and silicone. We also recommend you put the sign in a Perspex box for added protection!

Our Neon flex is designed for outdoor use as it is IP67 rated. Just make sure that any connections are fully encased in a silicone end cap with silicone gel inside to prevent any salty air or water getting near the connections.

May I know the name of the font? Nice font indeed!

Hello there!! what model of the machine do you use to cut the acrylic or what machine for starting do you recomend? Im new on this.Thanks!

merci

What size is this particular neon flex 6mm X 12mm ?

In terms of the cut point being 10mm apart, what is the best thing to do if the point I need to cut sits in the middle of that? Cut it shorter and have a 5mm gap either end of the length? (I may be misunderstanding it though). Similar question re trimming the bits that meet at a cross roads - can it just be cut ad-hoc or does it need to align with a cut point? Cheers, great vid.

@Spectron

2 жыл бұрын

Good question Rich. We cut it ad hoc, so that the neon doesn't come up short at cross joins or ends. We cut into the side of the silicone tube to get access to the solder points. Once we have soldered our cable on, we then close the tube back up and glue it together. As the cut is on the side, it's not really visible when glued back together. We only recommend you do this if it's an internal sign with no chance of water ingress.

Where did you bought the machine to cut the acrilic??

Thank you so much for your insight. Your video is very well done and the sign looks amazing. I had a couple of questions. I am planning to make a beautiful sign for Jesus as part of our Christmas decorations. You inspired that decision a few months ago when I stubbled upon this video. I have nearly all the info I need but I curious about how much larger should the acrylic be than the lettering. I imagine that will have to do somewhat with the size of the sign and I expect the letters to each be about 16 inches (40 cm) tall and the sign to be roughly 4' x 4' (122cm x 122cm) As you can imagine I want it to look great but cannot afford to make it twice. Can you give me some insight into how the width of the surrounding acrylic will impact the way it looks? Also what steps can I take to minimize issues with the wet weather in a climate where temperatures get close to zero ( -17 Celcius)

@Spectron

Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the kind feedback, Doug. The size of the acrylic panel is down to personal preference - you could keep it close to the neon flex if you wanted, or allow a border. If you're using clear acrylic it wont really be noticeable when the light is on. If you are drilling fixing holes, you'll need to allow room for these. Regarding your questions on minimizing issues with wet weather, we recommend you put the acrylic sign in a clear box and seal any joins, or cable entries. Given the cold temperature you will need to check the working temperature of any adhesive you are using, and consider securing the neon with wire as a failsafe. We are currently checking the working temperature for our neon to see if -17 degrees would affect it.

I missed the power consumption or voltage requirement if any. What's too much a 9 volt, 12 volt? Is a USB 5 volt enough?

Nice Job! I also would love to see how you do the cnc part. Until then would you please share which font you are using? Thx

Great job, but one question As far as i know neon leds can be cut into 2.5cm pieces meaning that each segment should be a multiple of 2.5cm in terms of length, how can i measure that when im designing the sign? Because i cant cut the strip at middle of those 2.5cm parts so its gonna be short or excess if i don’t design the acrylic sheet grooving length

Our neon flex has cut points / solder pads every 10mm interval. You can cut the neon anywhere really, as long as you miss the actual led chip. If you cant access the solder pad, just cut the silicone tube to expose it, solder the cable, then seal the tube back up with glue.
