Aux Switch Custom Labels

[Jimmij]

If you have a cricut machine, you can buy glow in the dark vinyl and cut out your letters. Wife has done various projects and it does well

I don't have a Cricut, and also I assume each letter would have to be applied individually? I think you'd also have to back the letters so the lights wouldn't compete.

Or...huh, I have a Brother label printer, which is how I made my labels. Look for glow in the dark tape, and damn, only available for Epson printers. But now, I'm thinking that glow in the dark tape with a clear label and black letters would work great.

Or...is there room for a light in the dash just above the switches...

I found some companies that make custom glow in the dark stickers, that's an option, but expensive for a single sticker. A group buy would drive price down. It's almost $10 for one, but $5 for 10+. And each legend would count as a new single order.

the letters/function are printed together. They are then attached all together with transfer paper. Really simple letters are solid so light would not bleed through.

 

[SwampNut]

Right, the letters are solid, but have no backer, right? So since they don't match the letters already on the switch, they would show through?

I probably only need a little more temptation to get a Cricut, like a 3D printer, it's useful for random shit.

 

[Jimmij]

@SwampNut. You are correct

 

[SwampNut]

How much do you use the machine? Other cool stuff you do here and there? I like my label printer for all sorts of random marking needs. The 3D printer for also minor, but useful little things. Want to make a few glow in the dark labels for a profit?

let me check with the expert, my wife. Pm me what you want the labels to be. She has made the wave for my outside mirrors and a ton of shirts.

 

[SwampNut]

Shirts? So cutting iron-on material I assume?

Here's what I have now, and I *think* the remaining blank would be "REAR" for backup lights.

COMP
FRONT
SIDE

Which are compressor, front long-range LED beams, and side angle lights.

I’d buy them also.

Mine would be
:

WINCH
FRONT
REAR
COMP

Sorry been super busy. I should have examples by Monday

 

[Jimmij]

Sorry guys. Letters are too small for the machine to cut without ripping. Wife is going to stick with t-shirts and larger vinyl stickers.

 

[Coastal]

No problem.

“ AUX 4 “ works too...

 

[wvuviv30]

Can you use the AUX switches from the headunit?

 

[Coldtoes]

Has anyone found any solutions to this in the past year?
I’m still hopeful, though not optimistic.
