Aero City Monitor Bezel Repros
I was thinking what are your thoughts on me doing a small batch of Aero City Monitor Bezels?
Any interests in that? Will try and make a plug based off the bezel I have and vacuform a plastic sheet over it.

Tell me about it!
No promises on how tough it'll be just yet, but I think we can manage a beefier one.

I'd be interested. The original is so flimsy

Re: Aero City Monitor Bezel Repros
Is it the same as a Swing? Monitor is same so I guess it is. I might be interested.

Re: Aero City Monitor Bezel Repros
I'll be checking it with a guy in Hungary who has a couple of Swings.zumbito wrote:Is it the same as a Swing? Monitor is same so I guess it is. I might be interested.
We haven't started on it yet as the holidays are just over and work is rushing in (I own a concept art/animation studio).
As the existing bezel is just way too fragile, I probably wouldn't be able to make a plug/mold off them directly, even with the releasing agent. We'll have to make some from scratch here.

Re: Aero City Monitor Bezel Repros
What about 3D printing bezels? Anyone thought about 3D scanning bezels an then printing them?

Re: Aero City Monitor Bezel Repros
You'll need a large as 3d printer, also it won't be sturdy enough, you might also have to glue em together. The only way we can have both strength and form would be vacuuforming it. There's also fiberglass, but you'd need to lay it on really thick and the results aren't satisfactory for a bezel.

Re: Aero City Monitor Bezel Repros
Not to mention how laborious the whole printing process is. Trust me, best way to go is all analogue with this one.

Any chance for a 28" version? Pony and MT-8...

Re: Aero City Monitor Bezel Repros
I just checked as I just got one from that friend of mine, it is not at all. Dimensions are a little different in general (sides are generally thinner on the Swing). The quality and plastics is exactly the same though. I might think about making it as it's pretty numerous here.zumbito wrote:Is it the same as a Swing? Monitor is same so I guess it is. I might be interested.
Aero City ones are a priority now since it seems to be the most plentiful type of cab here and the bezel is pretty ****.
I'll see about making similar ones (Pony 28, Swing) to that once I get this down. Got a few sheets of plastics to test out the best one for the job.
The repros are currently under way. I'll keep you guys up to date on the mold process and pressing.

Re: Aero City Monitor Bezel Repros
I'm pretty confident you will sell at least 9 of the 28" bezels.

Re: Aero City Monitor Bezel Repros
I'll have to get some exact bezel measurements of those two very rare cab you mentioned.Wurstkopp wrote:

Re: Aero City Monitor Bezel Repros
If only I knew them. But I'm quite sure they're the same as the bezels of the Pony 28".
