that is awesome. i was given a ps3 se and i’ve been wanting to replace the pcb with a ps2 and you have pretty much just finalized my decision to do so haha
Just an idea for UK peeps, I’m looking into shipping with courier soon, the postal strikes are really gonna kick in soon, postage may go up due to this for a while. Aeri, I do hope you have yours by now.
Oh man, an SE plexi would be awesome. I love the shape and size of the SE and if I can get an plexi on that, it’ll seal the deal.
Good job!!
Lol, I think you’re going to get poked with a pointed stick quite a bit until those SE plexi’s come out! I can’t wait to get my hands on one as well. Crossing my fingers that US shipping won’t kill my enthusiasm for this.
Hey all…
99% success!! I am getting a little bowing across the plexi but thats because we have not get the top part of the jig done that will clamp and cool it. Anyways…

These I’m confident will go on sale next couple of days. Theres a lot more arsing about with these, so cost will be a touch more, ill try it on stick tomorrow morn, got a couple of days off and I just finished a 16 hour shift.
Need to see it on a stick before we get too excited
If it works well I may order one along with my TE plexi when you get the stepping sorted.
Glad someone’s trying this though!
Very super cool doomy.
Well done! :clapdos:
Are you planning to just let the buttons hold it in, are are you going to make the screw holes as well?
Get some rest dude.
Nag dmanit I want to know this now lol. May have a few pics on the stick later, if not definately tomorrow… Grrrrr. Art, Im aiming for screwless.
Damn dude I’ve been waiting to see this for along time, Finally a plexi to go on a SE lol. I can’t wait to see it lol.
Snap-in Buttons won’t be able to grab onto the Metal Panel when using this Custom Acrylic Panel right?
So be using Screw-in Buttons?
Because if all the Snap-on Buttons are holding onto is the acrylic, then Button can lift off with the Custom Panel.
gotta have that o.o If the buttons are enough to hold down, I don’t think you should put in the screws (they’ll just make it ugly ) I’ll be using Seimi’s
I’ve offset the holes in a way that means the buttons(snap-in’s) will work. the last notch JUST grips and the buttons will be tight but doable. Worst case scenario if it does need a screw, I’ll make it sit under the dustcap…
Printing one off now. May have time before I collapse to get a photo off.
Cool.
Good stuff.
Off for pictures.
Yeah, collapsed…
Pictures tomorrow
