spiffy.
What do you mean is started to bulge out?
really spiffy
@Tewdee: The laminated art wouldn't lay flat. I think the screw holes were too close together.
I hope you can get the art on there, but it looks pretty rad anyway. Now you'll be looking stylish while busting out those Fei Long chicken wings.
Sorry about that, the Zero Stick looked pretty damn awesome though...
that's hot shit. Like seriously. I would send you my T5 stick to customize if you were willing to do such a feat...seriously.
as for the art bit...did you screw it in too tight? I know you want things to be tip top tier shape..but I would think that might be it. Or at least start actually "tightening" all the screws after they're all in place.
just throwin ideas. I could be completely wrong on that though.
that joystick is seriously awesome though.
aww man... but it looked soooo awesome =/
...sixth time's a charm though, right?
At least your mod worked out on the inside the first time. Whenever I try something like this, it always comes at great personal cost. If I tried to do what you did, one of the buttons would stop working after a month.
That's just like a flat plexi cover, right? If it is, you could flip it upside down and put it over the back of your sheet, then use a pen to make the locations of the screw holes. Or better yet, if you have access to a light table, you could set both over the top of it, and the light would shine through giving you a perfect view of where the screw holes would go. Then you wouldn't have to worry about your pen not going right up to the edges of the holes in the plexi.
@The-Excel: You try to mod things I wouldn't even think about modding. The HRAP3 is made to be modded. All of the buttons are snap ins and use quick disconnect clips instead of solder.
@Haxan: I used a guide and plan that does not use lexan or plexi. Once you commit to using those materials, things get difficult very quickly. The idea was to use art that was laminated with a light weight laminate then adhere it to the stick and reassemble the stick. I completely removed the top panel of the stick, snapped in the buttons and then applied adhesive to the art. I then flipped over the art, trimmed around the edges of the metal plate and cut through the slots for the screws and refastened the plate. Who knows, maybe it's time to build a stick from scratch.
Oh noes, I hope this works out for you with the Zero artwork. I'm nowhere near the level of skill required to pull this off.
Hmm. Could it just be a matter of taking it apart and widening the offending screw holes? I'm sure you tried that. Damn. I'm out of ideas. I'm sorry, dude.
