A guy (Sam) with a very nice home built CNC stopped by a recent meeting asking if people had ideas for CNC projects. Bloominglabs doesn't have a nice sign outside our office space, so that is something we need to fix.
The current plan is to come up with a side-lit LED sign. There are numerous sites and projects on-line to look to for inspiration and information:
