Hey there,
Next week i´ll mail you with the details, nothing fancy, it´s a plain and simple idea
Sent an e-mail request about custom art and plexi 
So, herere some news. After receiving hundreds of orders Ive made a cut and reviewed my activities. Here`re some facts:
-
I`m offering now more than 35 different kinds of plexi flaceplates for all kind of sticks.
-
Some are top sellers and some are bad sellers. To make this huge amount of plexis possible I`ve collected the orders once a week and received the stuff mostly then the next week from my plexi company. Thus I need at least 10 days to 21 days for handling each order. Sometimes it was even above 21 days (sorry for this). This shipping time is in my opinion and according to the “ETA date request” mails received not a very good value.
-
Making this customizable stuff hurts of course my social life and so on. Have in mind that I
ve a daily job, too. So Ive to optimize my time to make life easier and work on some other projects like TEasy Strike, etc.
Summarizing its time to re-structure the shop. The good news or lets say my goal is to enhance the shipping time, handling and hopefully price for plexi faceplates. This is only way to make this possible is to reduce the huge amount of plexi faceplates offers. I´ve deleted some kinds of facplates from shop. I`ve some spares in stock, mail me in near future if you want something special you did’nt notice in the shop…
Arcade Stick Plexi Faceplates at ArcadeForge.de
ben
I thought I noticed some things missing earlier when browsing~
hmm, what exactly?
ahh things like the agetec plexi and that. I thought it was the site messing up a bit and just wasn’t loading everything X3
Yes, VSHG, AGETEC, HRAP1 and some color variations like blue, green and unfortunately red. Additionally I do not offer plexi with no turbo holes anymore. I don’t know if DATEL faceplate is interesting enough. I had a few orders, … should I keep it?
Hmmm not sure with Datel, I’ve been debating about what to do with those sticks myself since I heard a while ago that microsoft are trying to make them stop working on 360s. Though that could just be a rumour.
I’m not sure what the interest for them in like to be honest.
Jo,

Hey,
thanks a lot

Hi Bencao,
I have a couple of questions. I’ve never modded a stick before but have been reading up for ages now, so I do apologise if any of this is too noobish.
Do you do custom etching, for example, for the button inserts, could I design my own?
I have an idea, but don’t know if it would work: If you take a 3mm black plexi full TE plate and etch the back of it (yes, the BACK), would the design show up if I used Arc-Eyes (or regular LEDs) in clear Seimitsu buttons?
I don’t know if the etching depth would need to be adjusted or if the light would only travel a certain distance, but the vague idea I have in mind looks totally hawt and I would love to make it my first stick mod.
Also, assuming those things are possible, what would the prices be for custom etched button inserts and reverse etched full TE black plate?
Thanks guy.
No, given up that.
No, the black plexi is complete opaque. Nevertheless etching and light stuff would work with transparent plexi. I`ve used this a lot in some projects.

only an example
I should have left some etched buttons, but not etched top panel plexi.
Nevertheless here the URL of my ArcadeForge Shop for Madcatz TE faceplate plexi
Thanks for answering my questions. I’m gonna go back to the drawing board and think of some different mods to do 
When I have some more cash, I shall be ordering some shiz from you.
Thanks again.
Aww, I didn’t know you stopped Etched Inserts. :sad:
I wanted.
Was it too much cost?
Oh, Ive some left, but I took it out of my shop, coz I changed to the whole production process to CNC. Reason is the mentioned shipping time above. Now Im able to ship standard plexi within one week But anyway, if you want some special things like the etched inserts, contact me or give some lines in this thread! I have acess to laser cutter again…
I`be updated the plexi page in my shop. Promotion action is still valid and I put the rest of my datel, VSHG and Hrap1 plexis on it… First come first serve…
Just reading this page of posts again, can I just confirm some things? What exactly do you still etch and with regards to button inserts, is it just the etched punch and kick icons you have left? What template should I use for a full art print? So far, I have been using the PSDs linked in this topic http://shoryuken.com/f177/official-street-fighter-iv-te-se-fighstick-template-thread-175293/
Thanks dude.
if you need exact button templates, then use this ones hree
Full size is 352mm x 226mm.
Extended size is 337mm x 209mm.
Regluar size fits exactly in the red frame and is 323mm x 195mm
So far the PSD link in your mentioned thread works, too.
Currently I offer etched dust washers. Some etched Button Insert with kick and punch icons are left.
Thanks. I take it that’s with a 5mm bleed? The fullsize one you posted is 10mm taller and wider than the PSD from the other thread.
