Putting flat square LED's into clear resin?

Post by Dr. KillGood »

What would be the best way to do this so that the resin is just as think as the LED and the LED is laying inside the resin?

I mean like really thin.

I am going to put a back light in a original GBA because Nintendo didn't.

Also what is the flattest LED I can get =D

Kind of like this. http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-LCD-backlight/

Or maybe just cutout parts on some Plexiglas?

Where can I get Plexiglas as thin as the LED I need in that case?

IT CAN BE DONE DAMMIT!

I bet you all $100 EVER LAST ONE OF YOU!

look up in your phone book for plastic suppliers or something like that. Most of the time they have a scrap bin where you can get some acrylic for cheap.
