Art's Hobbies - DIY Acrylic Cases

How do i get a prototype, art?
=(

I was already probably going to buy one of these as soon as they were made available, but I got to use sp00kyā€™s at the Battlegrounds tournament in CT a couple weeks ago, and damn. Hype train driving full speed.

Art,
I just saw the stick (thatā€™s what I get for not checking the thread in a week). That etching is just what I was going for on the VAS-HG! Now I need to decide on getting it clear or on black plexi. Thatā€™s some fine work there good sir!

cant wait till they are available, iam really hoping for purple and green plexi :slight_smile:

Hi arthong,

Can u make some case for this plate?

or a case fo 2 PLAYER?, i think lot of people will want to buy it.
Honestly, if you can make one for me. i will order right away!
Do you accept any custom 2PLAYER case? (i will like to order one) ?

Iā€™m still working on acquiring transparent purple plexi. Got some places to get them but details are yet to be finalized. I donā€™t know how they will compare to the purple balltops just yet. Soon as I get them, youā€™ll get more info. Basically all colors that I have access to right now are what you can see on my site: Welcome to Artā€™s Hobbies

I donā€™t really know of a transparent ā€œgoldā€, but maybe the flourescent orange may come close. Itā€™s the same one I used for my Iron Man and clear + flourescen orange case samples in the earlier pics of this thread.

While my initial designs will be with xbox and playstation pre-etched labelings, there is definitely room for BB versions and ā€œCUSTOMā€ versions as well. The availability wonā€™t all come at once, so youā€™ll have to bear with me as I set things up incrementally. Tons to do this month with lots to add =)

Doh, sorry budā€¦ no more prototypes are shipping. Anything case related will have to be after I get the cases up on my site as any spare time I have is used to set a lot of things up for things to come end of this month.

Ah nice that you got a to check out Spookyā€™s case =). Glad ya like!

Thanks very much!

Thanks for your interest. Iā€™m still working on acquiring the purple, but I will have every intention of making transparent purple available =)

While itā€™s possible some type of acrylic case could be made to work with that panel, itā€™ll be a very customized request. It will be a long process and likely expensive for the time invested. At this point I can not take any custom requests due to my extremely full plate. Sorry.

However, I do have a 2 player attachment plan for my cases in the future. They were made modular for many reasons =). There is likely to be a larger case version as well which may work better for a larger 2 player setup. But these plans will take some time before they will be made available. I have tons of ideas in my head, but only so much time to set things in motion. Doh.

could i buy a prototype case?

grrā€¦so I finally figure out whats left to do on MY stickā€¦and then the inlays pop upā€¦sighā€¦give me a date and cost and my money is yours :rofl:

  • :bluu:

Getting hype, dude. But Iā€™ll have to prolly place my order a bit after release to help reduce any custom jobs right away. That, and Iā€™ll have more money to work with. Lol. Will you offer that sweet Type-B as an etching in the future? Iā€™d try to design my own, but I donā€™t think thereā€™s any way I could do it better than that. Who wouldnā€™t love a Type-B etching with DABC inlays and a red LED on D and Blue LEDs on ABC? ;D. Also, are the PSD templates up yet?

Modular 2P versions? HYYYYYPEEEE

You guys always have to watch out for arthong.
Every time you think you done modify, arthong reveals something new.

Next up are going to be plexiglass cup holders and lightsaber tops.

Will the teamspooky design be available immediately after release?

Sorry, no prototype cases are available. Thanks for your interest tho.

LOL. They should be up by time the cases are up, which is later this monthā€¦ likely end of the month, to like the first week of Sep. =)

Those are great LED setup ideas. I would look forward to seeing them in action! As for the etching, uhā€¦ email me about it later. I canā€™t really offer that etch on the site cuz the initial creation isnā€™t mine. I made some mods to it, but I didnā€™t create the bulk of it so I cannot ā€œSell the etchā€. Email me and weā€™ll work around different channels on that. Sadly the PSD templates arenā€™t up yet. Been crazy swamped since I got backā€¦ arghā€¦ need more time!

I had thought about Edible arcade sticksā€¦ but somehow I donā€™t think thatā€™ll fly very long.

Who leaked about the cup holders!

When you say the ā€œTeamspooky designā€, are you referring to their logo and skull side decor? If so, those I cannot make available. It is based off of their logo and not for me to resale. It was only created for their promotional purposes. It is possible you can go through Teamspooky to either get permission to use their logo/side decor design, or they may want to sell their own case designs in the future with their own internal component setups and such, with their own pricing. Either way you may wish to speak with them. Sorry I canā€™t be of further help at this time.

If youā€™re referring to the colors used for their case, then you will have the choice of those colors for your case.

I miss you man. :crybaby:

No problem. Weā€™ll work something out. Iā€™m gonna definitely wait out the initial order, 'cause I know Iā€™ll probably dream up something from left field, and you donā€™t want something crazy right away XD. And I agree, the set up just couldnā€™t be denied. No rush on the PSD templates, youā€™ve got plenty of time in my book.

PS, you just leaked them. I just memorized your patterns and made a guess ;P.

I miss you too Nerrage. :blush:
No more Private Message from you.

Bawww. Itā€™s just 'cause I have to sit back and listen to the masterā€¦ :sad:

Weā€™re hoping for sometime this month, be patient, itā€™s gonna be worth it :3
