I found you! I found you!!! I think..... :D

Great work Sniipe. Can't take my eyes of than one you have up on MDPC right now. :)

Keep up the good work!

Btw, what hose-clamps are you going to use? Struggeling to find some myself. When I hear what you are buying, I'm pretty damn shure it's good lookin. :p:

Thanks LB,

I am gonna be doing 3/8" tubing over 1/2" barbs, no clamps required :) in fact, once it sets 3/8" over 1/2" needs to be cut off the barb :p:

What method do you use for getting the hose over the barb? put the hose end in boiling water for a few min?

I might do that... I have also used a heatgun to soften the tube but that can be bad because even on the lowest setting my heatgun begins to melt the end.

question for you all, what do you think of these 2 fonts as a major feature in the case (intentionally vague) as in which one is better ;)

i am kinda leaning to the first design Ian, wonder what the rest of the XS-ers would think...

Me too, but I would be IMO nicer if it would be possible to move the 'F' a little bit right, because it right now it look like there's a space between the F and L

A guy at work sent these links out after seeing them at a convention:

Pretty interesting... maybe Tesla was onto something...

hehe, thanks for the input guys I agreed with you all for the most part, but looking around the web randomly right now I have found a new style I want to ask you all about, but first I must draw it in solidworks because PRO-E sketcher isnt as cooperative as I would like it to be. I will use the first font of course if this one I'm drawing doesnt work out ;)

Well, like everyone else I like the first one far more. I think however the comparison between the two is biased in some vague manner, simply because they're not both black on white or blue on gray and of the same size... that way it would be far easier to tell I bet.

Where do you get your fonts on the net? I got a stash I could zip you if interested.

Oh, I was curious SNiiPE, what video card(s) do you use Solid Works with and which version do you have?

Agreed with the colors. As for typefaces, dafont.com seems to be the best place for free ones. If anyone is really interested in typefaces I HIGHLY suggest looking at ITC ones. Underware is also a decent type foundry (and one of my personal favorites).

@Sniipe
Neither until you fix the kerning on the "F"s :shakes:. I heard that there were lots of issues getting script type cut :shrug:. The same source suggest monotype corsiva if you must use a script type. Personally I think good sans serif type would be better, but that might just be me.

Yeah well the font is for a cutout so I didnt think color mattered :p: the more i ponder it in my head the more I think I will be using this design I came up with in my head... I drew it out in PRO-E and as I drew it I accidentally designed the O and the W in FLOW as one continuous letter and I was like "holy crap how the f*** did I do that? It looks perfect!". So I will show that to you guys later tonight ;)

If you have a lot of fonts I would gladly have a look over them, I don't have any on my comp right now and the one that you all like is gonna cost me $25 :rolleyes:

For solidworks I have only used my 4870x2 and it runs great on that card even though it isnt a workstation model :shrug: At work I run PRO/E on a FirePRO v8700 which is amazingly fast in the program. I run solidworks 2008 and its real good, I have not seen SW 2009 but I think I remember someone mentioning to me that it has compatibility issues or something- I would look into it before buying that version.

325 Fonts all Starting w/ The Letter A (http://www.yaxis.net/files/A.zip) .... I thought I had them all on my server (guess I'll have to sort for more later). Anyway, they can also be freely downloaded at acidfonts.com ... one by one.

I need to find out if the FirePRO v8700 will work with my Four x 4870x2 GPGPU machine.... I can see some potential driver headaches. Guess I'll hit up the ATI Dev forums yet again. Ohh.. when I say work "with" I guess I don't really mean work in concert, just coexist nicely. That is, when I want to fire up SolidWorks on the 30" it knows to utilize the FirePRO v8700 and when I want to crunch some crazy stream cycles with whatever code no conflicts will arise there either.

Thanks for the tip concerning SolidWorks 2009, I'll look into that and do show newer image ASAP. :up:

arghh... I should get a Wacom.
