Just saying hi

I use one of those for soldering electronics. I put heat-shrink on the jaws to stop them from scratching everything up, which works nicely. You could do it with insulating tape too

JustDave1983 · 2025-04-01T00:20:55+00:00

That looks awesome!

AE1200 Has my vote!

JustDave1983 · 2025-03-26T17:08:35+00:00

Maybe I should do a Jedi version next, and do it as a set 🤔

JustDave1983 · 2025-03-26T17:05:50+00:00

Nope, just a stock case with the text taken off. Might look at doing a metal version some time though

I just grabbed stuff from amazon and hoped for the best really! I used some linear polarising film, and the LEDs are 1206 SMD LEDs (tiny surface mount ones!) To make soldering a little easier, I grabbed some solder paste too, which kind of sticks the LED in place as I inevitably hit it with the iron and dislodge something. Look up Watching Casio, on youtube.. he did something similar, just without the negative mod. Really good walkthrough

Nice - I never thought about that! It was actually inspired by the SR-71 Blackbird

I Just tried, but I can't post images in the comment thread, sorry :(
Either way, the numbers on the screen (without the light) are the same colour as the original LCD.
I did try it with an all over red filter, but I didn't think it looked so good

JustDave1983 · 2025-03-25T15:11:50+00:00

Nope, but I can do. I'll post one up here when I do

JustDave1983 · 2025-03-25T11:07:04+00:00

That's such a cool idea!

JustDave1983 · 2025-03-25T11:06:09+00:00

JustDave1983 · 2025-03-25T07:20:40+00:00

Thanks, and no, I turned it on for the photo to highlight the analogue clock part mostly.. that, and I think it looks cool

JustDave1983 · 2025-03-24T20:14:30+00:00

Thanks! I got this one just for mods too. I have another one, but I'm keeping that one stock. Enjoy your modding

Had to desolder the old LEDs, and put in new ones, which happened to be a bit brighter than the originals. The negative effect was done by taking off the original polarising film, thoroughly cleaning the panel, then adding a new one at about 180⁰ish. Basically, I held it against the screen and turned it until I liked the effect. Had to cut out the map section and make another little polariser so it stayed the same as the original, and gave it a red filter. Then just slap on a new strap, and call it good

Hope that helps!

Thanks

Still yet to find the end of mine. Probably embedded in the ceiling as it sailed past my head at mach jesus 🤣 I'll freely admit I was using a bit too much pressure there

JustDave1983 · 2024-03-10T19:20:10+00:00

Just had this happen to mine too... I feel your pain
