abroading with sandpaper - an alternative to jewels
« on: May 30, 2008, 06:55:32 AM »
Hi,

I just wanted to share my idea: You can abroad cases with sandpaper instead of making/let make jewels. It's way cheaper and it looks great, too!
First get a adhesive foil (this thing you use to bind a book). Then get a sujet, it should be pretty simple  (you need to cut out the sujet). Then print it out, trace it to the adhesive foil (or print it on the foil), adhere it to your console, and simply abroade the parts you need with sandpaper.

However today I was brutally raped by a door handle, and none of my friends helped me up off the floor after ten minutes, instead they all teabaged me, all 10 of them...

You could probably work on it to get it to a high precision standard. Just a thought

its more about depth then precision

and what if someone wants a really complex design

and the final question is : how well does it catch led light?

Should catch light well, it is just translucent, so light will pass through it well

A sandpaper: 2 to 5$

Not yet, I'll do it in the holydays (together with a PulseVU and a GBAccelerator DS, this will get a big thing) when I've got time.
