Jim,
Thanks for making and offering these 'well thought out' fuse platforms.
I just sent you the funds.

(and to my girlfriend who is a huge part of this with me)

Will you be taking orders in the future? If so, when?

For everyone who was not able to get the platforms while they were available, I am still selling the PLANS for them. In adobe illustrator format. You can get some acrylic yourself and find a shop with a laser cutter to cut it for you. Easy to find in most big cities.
Plans are $15. Send me PM with the same format.
+++++++++++
I have cut a little more than half of the current orders. Everything will start shipping out next week.
FOR ANYONE WHO ORDERED WITH LOCAL PICKUP, YOUR ORDER IS READY. I will get in touch next week.

All orders are cut and most have been shipped.
===============
LOCAL PICKUP CUSTOMERS: I have taken a job in California and will be moving in about 1 week.
My last day in Colorado is Sunday May 21st where I will be at the RSG offroad event in Denver. You can pick them up at the event.
Link here: https://www.facebook.com/events/131617074052679/
Pickup your platforms by then or you will be charged for shipping. If you cannot pick them up this week, arrange for someone to do it for you.

You can always still get the plans from me and have a plastics supply store cut it for you

Yeah just trying to find a store that will do it for a reasonable amount.

It's funny this thread came up. There were several sheets of acrylic in my shop when I bought my house years ago. Always wanted to do something with it. I own a heatgun so that's not an issue. The issue is, cutting it. I've worked with it some for work to make covers for UPS battery racks and just don't have a proven way to cut or drill it without damaging it.
So yes, finding a place to cut and drill it is key. I'm close to redoing my whole wiring so I'll be buying your plans in the near future. Just making lists and bugets now.

I have had some success with cutting acrylic with a scroll saw, on very low speed. It will take a while, but if you keep the speed down and keep air blowing across the cutting area, it should be ok. You'll have to sand it with some medium sandpaper, then wet sand with fine (400 gr). It won't be the same as laser, but it will work.

Good to note. As for drilling, we found using a unibit with only a single (not a double) cutting "tooth edge" (thingy mag jigger wacha ma call it) worked pretty well. Much better then a normal drill bit.
But regarding this project and this many curves and such I'll definitely save my sanity and pay a shop to do it. Something simple, I'll definitely remember your scroll saw idea. Thanks!
