Blackie Update

My Blackie custom (box and faceplate by bencao74) is finished, at least for now... still want to add Wii support, but that will involve some heavy soldering...
My Blackie with red Sanwa buttons and balltop from the top, the gap between the faceplate and the box is filled with silicone.

Nuts parts 2

Today was the day! Finally I`ve completed Maresukes Case and now the most exciting parts comes: The assembly of the inner panel plus Artwork.
Main questions:

- Does the inner panel fit?
- Is the Plexi top panel even to the case size?
- Does the coors of the artwork match?


Since I`ve now enough experience with the laser cutter I do not use wood alone for the innerpanel.

I use a sandwich technique
- 2mm lasercut Plexi on top
- Artwork printed on 160g paper
- 4mm lasercut plexi for mounting stick and button
- 10 mm plywood

--> That`s real sturdy :)

Enjoy the pics!
PCB Mounting - Supports xbox360, PC, PS3

All the layers are screwed into the case!


Looks clean, eh?

Nut Wood - first time, first love

Before and after wood crafting :)









Yes, first time I used real wood. It`s normal nut and I`m pleased with the results. I had problems with the filler, anyway check the first pic. There you see the original wood and next to it my case :))

Just another Case, but new top panel mounting...




The new cases takes advantage of my acryl work. The Top Panel consists now of three layers :

- 2mm Plexi Top Panel
- 4mm Plexi Inner Panel with mounting holes for stick and button
- 10mm Wood Plate to give sturdiness

Have fun
