Always wanted a floor tile for a floor stand or a wall dressing for a long time.

Found this one in our warehouse 7-8 years ago, and thought it could be made workable:

Unfortunately was stolen from the side of our garage.....

Then a few weeks ago, saw this in the warehouse:

Not bad, better match... so the mods begin:

Cut out extra plastic from the top and bottom-

Epoxy 48 3d print plugs around the bezel-

Up next epoxy in the remaining 38 excess holes-

Excellent Noble! Are there any serial numbers or manufacturer's names on the pallet?

I would absolutely re-do my basement with that floor tile if I had the materials. Very cool Matt.

This is a nice project. I want to make something like this as a backing for my PR display. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.
