nice mod! did you install rapid fire on there too?

sorry if you said you did, I didn't finish watching the video.

i7vSa7vi7y · « **Reply #2 on:** April 27, 2011, 05:23:40 PM »

I did at one point but didnt like the chip so i changed the button for 0 button so i can have a COD drop shot button.
Comes in handy. Also theres more leds hooked up for the rumble motors.

nice!

FOOKz™ · « **Reply #4 on:** April 27, 2011, 09:48:08 PM »

I like the LED rumble effect

joeb0032 · « **Reply #5 on:** April 27, 2011, 11:23:11 PM »

Correct me if im wrong, but im almost sure you just hook positive wire to led up to the duelshocks positive pad. and the negative line to led to any negative source. (besides the duelshocks negative pad) to cause that effect

Nice job.
Ive been looking for clear analogs . Where did you find them? I was going to try some xbox analogs and see if they would work.

whitetop · « **Reply #7 on:** April 28, 2011, 02:04:11 PM »

den you will find some on ebay but ive not got that much money to waste on what some are asking

nEoVaLoR · « **Reply #8 on:** April 28, 2011, 03:11:49 PM »

that is pretty awesome... i like, i like.

i7vSa7vi7y · « **Reply #9 on:** April 28, 2011, 06:34:25 PM »

Thanks for the feedback guys and for the rumble effect i just soldered positive and negative directly to LEDs.
And yeah get clear analogs from ebay or google around. There hard to find. They will be on ebay one day then off another

1TONpete · « **Reply #10 on:** April 28, 2011, 06:39:49 PM »

Do they look like they were molded from one piece ? I'm thinking I might try to mold my own.

i7vSa7vi7y · « **Reply #11 on:** April 30, 2011, 07:48:44 PM »

Yeah there molded from one piece.
If you mold some clear ps3 buttons ill buy them from you

loboplayero · « **Reply #12 on:** April 30, 2011, 10:09:19 PM »

i like it!! nice work.

1TONpete · « **Reply #13 on:** May 01, 2011, 06:22:18 AM »

i7vSa7vi7y-" Yeah there molded from one piece.

When I do the mold for my mp3 controller Ill make nubs and buttons. Thanks for the info. only problem with the buttons is I can just make a mold of one button and reuse for the rest, each one is different. Ill let you know when they are ready. I'm sure there will be a thread on the clear button mold making.

802Chives · « **Reply #14 on:** May 01, 2011, 09:15:10 AM »

contact king mike at AM shop for clear analogs... hes got the stash PS3 and xbox360 in quite a few colors

whitetop · « **Reply #15 on:** May 01, 2011, 11:20:59 AM »

I'd also be interested for sure

1TONpete · « **Reply #17 on:** May 03, 2011, 05:48:10 PM »

Well since I see people want clear PS3 nubs , I'll try making a mold for them tomorrow.

whitetop · « **Reply #18 on:** May 03, 2011, 06:06:38 PM »

i have a mold for the whole controller just cannot get any of the stuff to make what i want lol

if you do make some how much you asking?

1TONpete · « **Reply #19 on:** May 03, 2011, 08:46:52 PM »

we'll see Whitetop. Your in the UK tho so shipping will be more than the cost of the analogs i presume .

whitetop · « **Reply #20 on:** May 04, 2011, 04:36:48 AM »

not really i get stuff from the usa a few times a year and barley comes to 3$ shipping but hey its ok if i can get the stuff cheaper here ill make some

1TONpete · « **Reply #21 on:** May 04, 2011, 10:03:25 AM »

any special requests for the clear stuff ? I'm getting ready to mold. making clear nubs and buttons.
if anyone wants colors let me know before the end of the week.

Crumbz · « **Reply #22 on:** May 04, 2011, 10:40:07 AM »

you have a mold for a PS2 controller?

1TONpete · « **Reply #23 on:** May 04, 2011, 11:40:24 AM »

No ps2 molds ready. I don't think I have any ps2 controllers around either.

whitetop · « **Reply #24 on:** May 04, 2011, 11:47:52 AM »

i think there the same size as ps3 bits ill check for you

edit there same size but the bottom of the buttons are differ

1TONpete · « **Reply #25 on:** May 04, 2011, 01:35:10 PM »

I could possibly do a ps2 from a ps3 mold.
note to self: I should have molded the PS3 controller before I started building the MP3 controller.
So I will be doing a clear PS3 controller mold but I don't know when. Since my spare controller is what I'm using for the MP3 controller and has already been modified , I can't use that one to make a mold from. If someone has a controller shell I can borrow until the mold is made , that would be a big help. The mold takes a couple days to dry completely so I don't want to take my main controller out of commission for that long.
he who comes up w a shell gets free buttons and shell. Pm me if you can help.

whitetop · « **Reply #26 on:** May 04, 2011, 01:53:48 PM »

i would send a spare controller as i have 6 lol but im in uk so dont think it can get to you in time

1TONpete · « **Reply #27 on:** May 04, 2011, 02:49:11 PM »

Ill probably have use my main one thats all. after shipping and everything it would be easier. I should clean it and maybe paint it while I got it apart.

i7vSa7vi7y · « **Reply #28 on:** May 08, 2011, 04:38:32 PM »

Whenever you get those clear buttons im for sure interested just PM me or hit me up on utube.
Appreciate it. Also good luck on your mod.

1TONpete · « **Reply #29 on:** May 08, 2011, 07:24:35 PM »

updating all my projects. this one included. Had couple problems with the molds the first batch. Remaking molds. I rushed it to much. I should know better and slow down when making stuff like this. Give me some time, I should have new molds done by the end of the week. Funny thing is I was worried about the r2/l2 mold but that one came out fine.

1TONpete · « **Reply #30 on:** May 10, 2011, 07:18:23 AM »

check it out

FOOKz™ · « **Reply #31 on:** May 12, 2011, 03:40:59 PM »

Nice that looks crispy. I read you tutorial you made and I need to get some of that stuff.

1TONpete · « **Reply #32 on:** May 12, 2011, 11:46:40 PM »

Wait on tute I need to update the tute.

1TONpete · « **Reply #33 on:** May 15, 2011, 06:20:32 PM »

Now taking special requests for custom nubs. Think big. I'll try to do my best to create a mold tailored for you. post ideas here, pm for requests.

whitetop · « **Reply #34 on:** May 15, 2011, 06:40:43 PM »

try a acidmods design on one

if your making them so you can take the top part off and put differ one's on ill like to see a block dice

1TONpete · « **Reply #35 on:** May 15, 2011, 07:01:50 PM »

good ideas white. I was thinking about donating a batch of AM ones to the site.

whitetop · « **Reply #36 on:** May 15, 2011, 07:09:21 PM »

or do a cod/battlefield one with a small bullet in it, but for payed people

1TONpete · « **Reply #37 on:** May 17, 2011, 06:13:33 AM »

I got shells coming later this week hopefully. Talked to my "gun nut" buddy , he's going to collect some shells , so i can mold them.
9mm , .45acp ammo, shotgun , .223 , .762.

i7vSa7vi7y · « **Reply #38 on:** May 18, 2011, 05:45:02 PM »

Nice maybe finally i can get my hands on some clear buttons

1TONpete · « **Reply #39 on:** May 18, 2011, 07:31:36 PM »

All molds are ready except the bullet molds. Next nice day I will make the pour.
I got a couple hours yesterday to do a pour. First batch with the new molds look great.
All parts are unsanded and unpolished , fresh from the mold. Collection of good molds are as fallows:
PS3: buttons x,o,etc ,

dpad ,

thumb sticks 2parts including skull thumb stick,

triggers 1, triggers 2
l2r2

The mold was so good it got the part #

lil finish work done on trigger

R1/L1 modified with insets for leds in back pre-molded. this one got a couple bubbles in it and is NFG.

XBOX: xbox button also skulled,

buttons ,

thumb sticks also 2 parts with a skulled version available. Dpad and triggers coming soon.

PSP : I didn't forget about my favorite console to mod. I just did buttons for now.

more pics coming.

whitetop · « **Reply #40 on:** May 20, 2011, 07:58:29 AM »

looking really nice are these the beta's or final tested ones.

1TONpete · « **Reply #41 on:** May 20, 2011, 08:06:17 AM »

These are first test batch of new beta's. Final molds (mass production molds need to be made now)
these beta's are on par with my quality, I will be using the beta buttons on the sharpshooter. public buttons will be ready next week. as well as public thumb sticks. Dpads are available now.
notes :
1 vibrator necessary.
2 mass production is very difficult atm due to different pour ratios. thinner parts need more hardener. To much hardener in larger parts makes so bubbles get stuck. So high detail thin parts like the l2/r2 need to be pour by themselves . analog bottoms are also on this pour.
3 analog bottoms are being extraordinarily difficult. I've made the mistake of pouring the same ratio as buttons twice now. part to soft and not complete. Air keeps getting trapped in the round part. This part is so thin, that if any air bubbles get stuck in there the part is unusable.
mass production molds are started for ps3 buttons and dpad. triggers will not be mass produced and will be special order only.

whitetop · « **Reply #42 on:** May 20, 2011, 01:09:47 PM »

if you get them good as you want and are ready to sell (bubbles or not) i'll buy 2 sets depending on price but ill sure buy one off you

1TONpete · « **Reply #43 on:** May 20, 2011, 02:13:18 PM »

Yeah the bubble problem is solved now, but before certain molds if they got a bubble in them the pour would be ruined because of how thin the material was.

Crumbz · « **Reply #44 on:** May 22, 2011, 11:32:12 PM »

Should think about adding this stuff to the AM store. But thats just a thought.

think he mite do but he's trying to sort the bubbles out first as i dont think many would go for them

1TONpete · « **Reply #46 on:** May 23, 2011, 05:43:03 AM »

I was going to talk to admins about that once i had complete sets in production. Last piece of the puzzle still needs to be proved . The bottoms of the analogs are giving me trouble. The weather has been bad and I lost a friend in a motor cycle accident the other day so I have not been working. I will post results soon. White I'll get back to you when I get my head straight.

whitetop · « **Reply #47 on:** May 23, 2011, 05:49:18 AM »

hey mate take your time life comes first i can wait and im sure others can sorry to hear about the loss of a friend mate sort stuff out.

i was wondering why you been on but not said anything hope your ok man

802Chives · « **Reply #48 on:** May 23, 2011, 11:00:20 AM »

diggin the skull thumbsticks and xbox button i could see those being very popular. nice work sofar cant wait to see more

1TONpete · « **Reply #49 on:** May 24, 2011, 09:09:30 PM »

OK I think I need to put this idle mind and hands back to work on something engaging , so weather permitting Ill be pouring, when the weather wont cooperate Ill be working on final assembly of m16 sharpshooter. So keep an eye for updates.

whitetop · « **Reply #50 on:** May 25, 2011, 02:06:24 PM »

den them update pictures are great mate i can see your hard work is paying off.

1TONpete · « **Reply #51 on:** May 26, 2011, 08:24:06 AM »

Did a full pour today. fingers crossed

tempermodz · « **Reply #52 on:** May 26, 2011, 08:35:36 AM »

Nice! !! Did you glued on the leds by the joysticks mechanism? Also where did you get that button to
turn the leds on/off I been looking all over the place, cause its not a normal tactical button right.
Do you have a tutorial of how to do the drop shot? Or is it in a pic chip mod?
