Custom ball tops? Now it's a reality! On sale now. :) Discuss here

Do you think you can get a carbon one?

Interested in titanium (I guess that’s hard to get yeah?) and Carbon.

(I guess those would be kind of expensive right?)

EDIT: I went through the whole thread… I guess that’s not really possible…
anyway, subscribed. see what happens.

Definitely interested in a custom balltop!

Why not just get a balltop and clear coat a layer of something of your choosing? Like metal flakes, I’d kill for a ball top with metal flakes.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the reply on it. :smile:

I second the pump suggestion, especially if you only use water as lubricant. Hook up some surgical tubing (very flexible) and you are good.

You mean like this:

The paint can be found at any automotive shop in spray can.

My only concern with that is the paint wearing off over time. You’d have to use a good quality automotive paint, clear coat several layers, and polish occasionally. Other than that, knock yourself out. :wink:

Oh my god that looks beautiful. What kind of paint should I try to find in the shops?

I need to get a large D20 top, a dreamcast controller, and pictures of whatever you did with your UPCB from you, Numbski :slight_smile:

Metallic paint, the same they use for cars. Sand a little the balltop (very gently with fine grain) then apply paint. Put 2 layers of clear coat and you’re done.

Toodles - you won’t be happy about the UPCB. I still haven’t had time to hook it up. It’s sitting here with my Ryu stick waiting to be wired together.

The controller: you DON’T have my dreamcast controller???

That, and PLEASE don’t tell me you paid for a D20 top and I never gave it to you…I went through several very rough months there, but I thought I’d sent out everything that people had paid for. :frowning:

??? No, I don’t have it. If you ever sent it, its news to me. I only remember ‘I need to ship it’ posts, and no ‘I shipped it’ messages

EDIT: Well, I dont remember ever getting it, but it wouldn’t be the first time my memory was shot. What color was it? Was it still in the outside plastic/usable state, or was it just the PCB? Did it have the six face buttons with C and Z, or just the normal four face buttons?

Sure thing. I did not pay you for any tops, you did not promise me any top, I did not order any top; you don’t owe me squat.

It would have been in it’s white casing with blue handles, six face buttons, and a programmable clear button. If you don’t have it I’ll go digging. In my mind I sent it to you (which means nothing…)

Was the dpad WAY fucked up, like broken off with just a little stubby in the middle? If so, I do indeed have it. I opened up a sister madCatz controller I had and found it had the same Xilinx chip in it. There are some other components, including a small spot covered in epoxy; I’m guessing it may do the analog to digitial conversion for the triggers and analog stick, but I wont know till I get some time with it with the oscope. Sorry 'bout the scare.

So how much for a big honking d20 ready to go on a stick? preferably black with white littering

to Op, you still selling these?

Same question.

^ times three

Sorry guys - to answer the question on the die, I have a black one with red lettering ready to go.

Everyone else - my schedule at the moment looks like this:

  1. File a bunch of paperwork.
  2. Fix a leak in my hot tub.
  3. Make ball tops.

Later this week I’ll hopefully have something for ya. :wink:

Just in case anyone cares:
