I have a lot of sacrificial plastic from various other mods and I like to make my electronics safe so I thought it would be fun.  DuoR can you take a picture of it from the side?  How's it secured?  Also is it eay enough to press the reset switch?  I relocated my reset switch betcause it was driving me nuts how hard it was to press it when there's a case around it.

Also where'd that plastic come from?  It looks great whatever you did to it.

It's pretty simple 5 points of hot glue holding it down, it's on there pretty solid. It looks good from the side too. The button could be a little easier to hit I think, but it works.

Plastic came from a smartphone battery cover, I had red but it looked like a Christmas ornament with green and red

Coolness.  I'll probably wind up purchasing some momentary surface mount switches so I can play around with installing the reset button in a better way than on a piece of glued breadboard.  I'm glad you didn't put any casing around the bottom and sides.

Yeah the switch could be designed a little better, if i had another one i would mess with it more.


Side shot, also i wonder if that is paint that stoneage used.

I could always pay for someone else to do it but I get so much leftover plastic from commission work I figured it'd be more fun building something for myself.

I might update the screenshots on the back with something more interesting. Is there any interest in this especially those that didn't buy from Stoneage?
