Title: abroading with sandpaper - an alternative to jewels
Post by: The Compiler 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.

Post by: VoX on June 01, 2008, 08:07:55 PM: You could probably work on it to get it to a high precision standard. Just a thought

Post by: Timmy on June 02, 2008, 02:40:51 AM: 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?

Post by: VoX on June 02, 2008, 05:36:46 AM: 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.
