I have always thought an Acrylic sunvisor would be a cool idea and I have seen a few threads on here with people trying it and I thought it was about time i pulled my finger out and gave it ago. But instead of a simple shape i thought i would try something a bit different.

This is a quick test out of clear Acrylic. When I do make them for real I am going to be using some dark tinted acrylic which should have some light stopping potential but if it is not enough then I am thinking about using some Window tinting stuff on the back.

Yep I borrowed the laser cutter at work (which is a college)

and if you bond Ikea 12V LED striplight to the top edge you can have this kind of funkyness at the flick of a switch

I made these last year, and the LED lights illuminate the laser cut logo perimeter.

you can nsee a similar effect here - again done with Ikea striplights bonded to the edge of the acrylic with Chloroform.
