I read perfectly well.

And it's facepalm, not facealm *facepalm*

There is no way that door was "broken" like that. You totally effed it up.

like crazy said you must have been drinking, or smoking some strong dope

You have to hold the dremel firm and make small cuts into the plastic at a time.

This works:
1. find the area to cut
2. roughly and slowly cut with a dremel
3. knock the large piece of plastic out
4. start sanding with large grit paper
5. piece should start looking good after a few hours of sanding move to small grit paper.

after that you should be ok.

Well I guess not everyone is good the first time you try. Practice counts man just keep trying.

JC531 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 03, 2011, 09:11:35 PM »

@Blazinkaos yea. and i did it again on other broken umd door i had and it came out perfect!

a lil studying, some tips from fellow modders and family members who some are carpenters n stuff and i did great! here check it out. out and the door's paint looks like crap cuz its from an old attempted paint job xD. and the paint was sanded long ago.

the silver door and circle is from yesterday and the black door and circle is from today.

silver=yesterday

much better

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #15 on:** June 04, 2011, 05:59:47 AM »

There you go thats much better. Yea dremeling is like what a carpenter does my uncle has his own business of that just have to be creative steady hand. There tons of bits out there for those dremels I got a 20 set diamond bits. They use those to cut down on concrete and they cut perfect on plastic. Something to look for.

JC531 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 04, 2011, 08:51:21 AM »

cool! hey for the diamond bits do you know if they have any for a chicago electric rotary tool? (i have one i just say dremel cuz its faster to say) btw the ce tool works pretty cool i forgot which dremel i compared it to tho. if there are any do you know where? i got my ce rotary tool (or dremel) at harbor freight. you think they might have some diamond bits there?

thanx!

hyper999 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 04, 2011, 09:56:12 AM »

any dremel bits will fit that tool as it has the same size collet as a dremel

crazy-modder · « **Reply #18 on:** June 04, 2011, 09:57:19 AM »

Dude do not get that harbor freight crap....i bought one of those awhile back and it was super weak. As soon as i would touch the cutting wheel to what i was cutting it would freakin die cause it had no nuts. Spend your money right the first time and just get a DREMEL brand tool.

JC531 · « **Reply #19 on:** June 04, 2011, 10:14:08 AM »

@crazy-modder well you probably got the $10 dollar one but i tried the cutting wheel and it worked great! you probably got a faulty one or something. and with a warranty if it breaks or something i get a new one free. but ok. i also got dis one cuz im trying to save some money for other parts. but right now its working pretty good! i might actually save some money on the side for a real dremel but that wont be any time soon.

druid · « **Reply #21 on:** June 04, 2011, 01:03:13 PM »

I would spend the 37 dollars to buy this or at least build a homemade one with wood and a plastic cutting board for table top.

Sammy · « **Reply #22 on:** June 04, 2011, 01:10:59 PM »

wow i just use a razor knife to cut mine out, it takes a while but it comes out nice.

jacobia jacob · « **Reply #23 on:** June 04, 2011, 02:01:07 PM »

at least he's practicing, keep at it but maybe just buy a sheet of plastic and practice cutting holes in it.

Im not sure where youll find the diamond bits i was lucky enough to find them at a hardware store that i had to travel 50 miles to get to. So I suggest just look up electronic places or hardware places and ask see if they carry any.

Oh wait i searched the internet here are the ones I have.

That is retarded, you're asking for injury.

If you have a soldering iron, stick a flathead screwdriver into it. Bam, high precision melting thingy.
