aluminum psp faceplate?
« on: June 11, 2009, 03:26:41 PM »
I know this is a stretch, but does anyone know where I could buy a psp 1000 brushed black aluminum faceplate? I wanted my psp to match my computer case, but if I can't buy one I guess I could try making one out of a piece of extra computer case.

1. You can't buy one. You can buy chrome colored, if that would work.
2. Have you taken apart a psp before??? It would be half impossible to make your own faceplate.

Thanks to HiddenVenom for the sig!

well if I could get my hands on a 3d printer with a drill bit, a block of aluminum, and the schematics for the faceplate, then it would be possible, time to do some searchin. :laughing:

There are places out there where you can rent the use of one inside there facilities. I know there is one here where I live, but that is the weapon development building metal shop >.> so I don't think they take civilians. XD There are places for fabrication that charge you per hour. So if your wallet can handle it, go for it. I'd love to see the finished product.

Imagine having issues with your PSP rusting. XD

Well you could mold one but it would be ADVANCED molding it would require more then 1 mold in 1 step. But then would need also need some molten aluminum.
