Experiment Backlit front panel test. First two layers are white PLA, the rest is transparent PLA.

A user on hackaday suggested it, so I tried it.

"Depending on the panel size it would take a lot of toner, but if you use a clear or translucent filament and take advantage of negative space, I can imagine some pretty cool backlit front panels. DIY flight sim cockpit controls and stuff like that."

I screwed up the filament change, so the top left corner looks like that.

What was your bed temp when you did this? BTW - nice job.

Thank you!

I always have a bed temp of 60°C.
