Custom Acrylic Mount for XR15 Pro

Looks good. I've changed my mind about 10 times on designing one for my xr15. Mounted on the rim isn't a great option since the bonehead I am mounted the overflow box in the center of my tank. How'd you attach yours?

Nice.

 

Looks like it's floating in that last shot.

 

That looks awesome.

 

Very nice.

That looks really good. If you don't mind me asking how much did it cost you to get that custom made? Was it cheaper than the RMS mount?

 

TapPlastics charges $40 per hour for custom work. Pretty affordable.

 

It looks better than the RMS mount by a wide margin. I would have made it in black myself(erroneously), the clear is definitely better.

Cost me $145 tax and all. More then I wanted to pay. This is the only Acrylic place and everything is done by hand there. So it cost alittle more :( but I am happy with the results!

Also, thinking about swapping out the 120* lens for the 80* to get less over coverage that I am getting atm.

Masking tape or painters tape at least about 1" wide. Tape the wire to the wall so it's covered then paint over the tape in the color of the wall.

 

Wouldn't be as hidden as flatwire products but it should work.

Looks good! Thinking of doing that with 1/4th thick acrylic and bending it with a heat gun. Putting magnets to hold it covered with epoxy, and putting the led either on the top or hangjng it
