Has anyone here used Front Panel Express?

It’s an online service that let’s you make custom panels, and they machine, screen and/or anodize and ship to you.

I’ve been trying their designer, and it’s nice. The pricing is not outrageous, either.

Just curious if anyone has used them.

Heard of them but never used. I used to use Panel Authority just south of Chicago. Before all the do it yourself CAD, they would do layout and email a print to approve. The human factor was nice, and very few screw ups. Engraved logos and scripts in the alum. But looks like the sky is the limit here

Thanks, Dolf
That's a pretty cool product. I may have chose to use it when I made my EBL box if I had known about it then. As it was, I did one out of wood (my medium of choice). Given that I modified it a few times as I was wiring it and discovered some issues, I was probably better off with the wooden one.

Wonder if it's possible to duplicate the GMC stock wood grain for a panel.
