Exciting news everyone! I have placed an order on the panel! It should hopefully arrive by June 2 or 3rd latest. I have made some minor changes to the panel itself with the placement of the Fan arrows. They now match up perfectly to the ones on the original panel! Also a member on theRPF has provided me with the word font that is used on the panel! This is very exciting and I hope it prints okay! Now we just have to wait and see!

Here it is, in all its beauty! The model has a wall thickness of 1mm so it feels fragile. I have cleaned the excess printing powder away and have started to sand it with 320 grit. I will be painting it and applying some changes to the model itself, like the buttons. Yes they look great and all but on the actual panel the buttons are curved rather than straight. Its an amazing start and it came out great! Its even 5.5 inches by 5.5 inches. I will post pictures of it painted after I'm done and maybe even apply the font decals! Overall I'm so pleased with it!

Looks great! You might think about filling it on the backside with a 2 part resin. It will make it much stronger.
