My blue glow around lid...

[gamefreak701]

I've seen this image before at the top of DCumulation a bunch of times. it's a DC and the lid has a sweet glow comming out from it. I wanted to make this so I gave it a shot. Here is the work so far.

Please ignore the crap window job on the lid. this is my mod testing DC.








Any ides? what do you guys think?


This is still being worked on, by the way!

Looks good so far; I'd paint it some wild color.

[HomerCIDAL]

That gap between the lid and body allows for a nice effect. Good work!

[dcmodder]

time for the critisism. that window on the disc lid makes me want to puke. clean it up a bit. unless it just looks like that because the picture is all wobbly

lol sorry didnt see your comment about the window. but i do agree with you it is poop. everything else looks good.

[gamefreak701]

Yea, that is my kind of test DC. So the window was my first time using my dremel.

Now the DC is just being used to see if I can get that glow effect. Then I am gonna do that to my good DC.

Looks really cool, often thought about modding a DC to glow like the one on DevCast. I like the window on the side as well. What did you use to light it up?

[Caboose]

LEDs?

[FETUS]

Nope light bulbs

[DCFan2004]

sorry Fetus, but I'm pretty sure he used candles.

[gamefreak701]

lmao, yes, I used a couple candles...

I was gonna try and fix it up abit, but it's melted

[dcmodder]

he used a peice of flint painted blue, the motor for the disc is rubbing a peice of metal on the flint. ooh sparks! guess i'm a bit of a pyro but who isnt now-a-days

[DCFan2004]

Aw man that sux.

But back on topic, the glow is sweet, where did you put the LEDs to get that effect?

[gamefreak701]

- left

- right

- lid



As you can see on the lid I had to cut the edges off, except one part where it locks down.

This is so the light can shine threw.


PS: Can someone find me a list of DC games for US/Canada? I can't seem to find mine. Thanks!

hehe

You can also do this with neon.

[DCFan2004]

I see, I remember when I was doing the nightlight mod, I had the problem of the lid closing down on the LED's so I moved em somewhere towards the front. I might try it out, I haven't modded a system in awhile, maybe ill find an empty shell for this on ebay.

I wanted to, but didn't have any neon. or know where to get it.

[Smurph]

Ooh ooh. Can you say "fiber optics"?

[Smiley]

I like it so far. The nite lite mod was the first mod that I came across on devcast when I registered. Loved its look, but have yet to try. Mostly cause I have yet to even mod a single console.

Anyway, for your next mod you should put some leds in the top of the controller ports like people are doing with their boxes.

[HomerCIDAL]

The edges really need to be cleaned up. I know it's not something that everyone sees when the lid is closed, but it could be cleaned up very easily with a sanding bit on a dremel. I'm working on something similar now and there is nothing like taking your time to get it looking just right.
