I used an adhesive foil printed by a laser printer for the labeling. However I am not satisfied with that sulution, because the lettering peels off easily and the foil lifts sometime. Therefor a custom made panel would be perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asking a professional panel company, it turned out that a panel of that size and low quantities costs more than 1000\u20ac, so this is out of the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I made some experiments with my CNC milling machine. Drilling and engraving the lettering on aluminium is quite difficult, but using 3mm 3-layer HPL (High pressure Laminate) looks very promising. This is a glossy white material, hard enough to allow pin sharp lettering. The engraved lines are then filled with black paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/fs1r.skerjanc.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_3242.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fs1r.skerjanc.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_3242.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fs1r.skerjanc.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_3242-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fs1r.skerjanc.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_3242-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>millig samples<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-description"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fs1r.skerjanc.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fs1r.skerjanc.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fs1r.skerjanc.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fs1r.skerjanc.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fs1r.skerjanc.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=50"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/fs1r.skerjanc.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51,"href":"https:\/\/fs1r.skerjanc.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50\/revisions\/51"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fs1r.skerjanc.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/17"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fs1r.skerjanc.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fs1r.skerjanc.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fs1r.skerjanc.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
