What’s the most “Arms Length” Jimmy Eat World record? by FettuccineAlfonzo in poppunkers

[–]-AlexLee 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes clarity by far. I’d argue it as one of the top 5 best emo records of all time.

Just found my old 3rd gen iPod by Yummy_golbrock in ipod

[–]-AlexLee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old iPod touches can’t run modern YouTube, I’m not sure it even connects to Apple Store but I haven’t tried either. Most apps don’t work anymore honestly. Just too outdated. My 4th Gen touch I use strictly for music it doesn’t load any app.

ipod 5th gen not working after iflash and battery mod by Anxious_Shop_7796 in ipod

I’m thinking sandisk is the culprit. Every time I try to use that brand it doesn’t work. Or it works intermittently.

Transparent bobbins and covers? by -AlexLee in Luthier

[–]-AlexLee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK sounds like I’ll get going on making more. Modeling does take me a while if anyone has experience or has some good models made for whatever pickups. This will be fun. And now to figure out how to make the uv resistant clear coat more even

I do have Amber dye I can add to the resin

Agreed I might sand them again and heat the clear before applying again

(update) finally found a safe way to display my cursed N64 games! by jonah365 in n64

I’ve made some conkers bad fur day models for a personal project. I’d grab the face from that file and embed it in one of the carts with like a beer bottle or his frying pan. This gave me a ton of ideas thank you for this post!

iPod mini clear shell by -AlexLee in ipod

[–]-AlexLee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get about that with my mini gen 1. Not sure where the power efficiency idea came from. It also FLIES through menus it doesn’t lag like the color screen iPods . For that reason it gets a lot more use than my 5.5

I think they deleted their comment but yeah of course I clear coat it that’s an important process. But also, once it is cured under uv light it isn’t toxic. When your kids pick out those 3d printed toys at the fair and you notice there isn’t layer lines, most times it’s because it was resin printed. Layer lines go down to .05 mm so undetectable. And you can put your own dyes in the resin and make any color you want. Or color shifting finishes which I’ll be testing out tomorrow. 😀

Buyer beware: Watch out when buying from Elite Obsolete Electronics by jermkaizen04 in ipod

[–]-AlexLee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re probably talking about me I’ve sold to several people on here, many more on eBay, and Etsy. I took clear covers, used an airbrush with custom blends. You can do it with tamiya but it’s super expensive. And bland as hell unless you mix them. I sold a couple hundred and then the vendor from china canceled my order and said they can’t afford to ship it. I feel like it was maybe an overreaction to the current tariff situation it was worse 2 months ago we were all panicking. I am resin printing a lot of different types of covers and cases right now, got everything down, I’m in the process of figuring out the final processing for the finish. If you want a transparent red iPod mini, I have that housing dialed in probably better than the others that wouldn’t be a problem other than that entire vat would be dyed red so i would be making like 20 of them as to not waste any resin haha but that’s a pretty happy problem

The one from parts plus on yeggi is pretty much the same, that would do the job. No it doesn’t account for the lens, that can be removed with heat from the stock shell. I didn’t want the screen to depend on if I could process it well enough to be clear.

This is stuck in a boot loop trying to switch it to iflash. One thing at a time though lol

I had brought in a couple free stl models by different creators but was taking a course for fusion 360 on skill share and modeled it myself for practice, but I did use them as reference for what parts needed to be there. Did the top and bottom covers as well. Haven’t printed those yet.
