I'm so sick of stupid comments like this.
He used black, too.
Thanks! I use Krylon Fusion Matte spray paint
Totally forgot these existed.
The Jrs are great to mod since they are guaranteed 1-chip consoles.
Such an improvement, reminds me of the Pokedex somehow 😅
My inspiration was a Pokeball so pretty close
If I were going to do this, I would have also painted the top of the raised lettering black, so that it stands out from the red body of the console.
Still an interesting design nonetheless.
Yeah! Great 👍
Thanks
Awesome, I want to do something similar, but I am not good at soldering.
The trick is to use a quality iron and practice. You can find practice kits on alliexpress pretty cheap (tiny speakers, radios, bunch of LEDs, etc...)
And flux. Use quality flux.
