Everything is moving pretty slow so i didn't do any updates not to bore you
But yesterday spray paint came in the mail ! should be able to finish ths part real soon now, only problem is i litteratly don't have enough time...
Pictured worklog FTW
paint is a montana brand, haven't tried it yet but i hope it's going to be chip-resistant this time
had to fill the hole present at the left (on the pic) C stick part
Nearly done with it, had to add a few millimeters on the whole part, had to recreate the screw hole, only for the sake of cosmetics (is that the right word?) i guess i'm being a tad much anal on the details ^^
also had to do some inside triming (board and casing) to make it all fit and be all smooth and centered
yesterday i added teeth so that everything would coincide, and to fill gaps...
going to paint it gray. Also, I Found a name

Re: lyb's GCp worklog ¤Update 5/12/10¤
it is mostly ready to be painted, but it is snowing atm where i live, and it is always below 0 (celcius), won't it hurt the paintjob if i paint anyway?
well here's how teeth worked out :
satisfied about thit but some part of this project are not fine by me, but fixing them does'nt seem practical...
Here's my real question :
these are the screw posts i want to use, how do you recommand i place them? would superglue do the trick? i don't want abs cement cause it would ruin and deform everything, and i don't want that, at all...
please suggest smthg, thanks

I would use multiple things if you can, they have to be able to support the entire portable's weight, soooo....yeah. I'm no expert on screwposts, though, so I can't really say which way works best.

Oh, if it's just for support, then literally anything should be fine, in my first GCP(with controller flanks) all I had was the controller screws. Was study as heck, too.

Mario uses just high-temp hot glue after rough sanding the surfaces to attach his screwposts. I'd copy him if it worked.

Problems :
1) I recently grew a pair and decided to cut my screen hole. Having nailed it, i then tryied to glue the metal bezel from my psone screen to the insides of the portable, installing it if you will. My problem, even though i rough sanded where i want it to stick, my hot glue won't stick to the metal part...
2) If i were to use a laptop li-ion battery, or a camrecorder's battery or any li-ion battery, how would i be to charge it? with what?

Maybe if you used more hot glue on the edges of the screen from the inside it might stick then.For charging you could probably use some type of smart charger.I think some of them are adjustable or they adjust themselves to the correct volatage. . .nice case work by the way.
