I'm going to post my kamikaze clone thread.:p
 
Re: ModRetro Exclusive ....Hailrazer's 4th N64 Portable..

While we are on the subject, good sir, do you put down the ABS first? Then I am guessing you sand it down to expose the bubbles and holes, and then you fill those holls in with flex filler (epoxy).

Am I right so far? I want to make sure the way I do it on my portables is most efficient and least likely to crack.

Actually I do it a bit different now. I use the bumper filler/epoxy on the top half. Enough to bond it to the case and fill in a lot of the cracks. After it dries (around 30 minutes) I flip it over and abs cement the backside. I use a liberal amount and overlap the screen and the case by around 1/4". After it dries a bit (around 6 hours) I go back to work on the front sanding it smooth. Then I fill the rest of the front in with bumper filler/epoxy , let it dry and sand , sand , sand.

I got a nice mini sander from Wal-Mart on clearance for $9 and I use that now so the sanding goes a LOT quicker.

Okay, that makes sense. Thats pretty much what I am doing. I applied ABS to both sides, sanded the top side and will fill in the bubble holes with filler. I also have a mini sander ;)

I noticed that giving my ABS an extra 2 days ensures that it will be very hard when sanding, but it also depends heavily on how thick your mix is. Thanks for the help!

The problem that I found is the Abs cement continues to dry and shrink for at least 10 days. So I was getting low spots and depressions weeks later in the finished portable. So now with just putting abs on the back AFTER epoxying the majority of the front, I don't have to worry about that problem.

Looking forward to updates! The new case technique sounds like it works nicely.
 
Re: ModRetro Exclusive ....Hailrazer's 4th N64 Portable..

Sounds like someone is a bit sensitive. Midlife crisis much? :p

Nice casework! The layout reminds me a lot of my N64p case I sold to DJ711 a while back:

Not that there are that many ways to make a landscape N64p, but this way is my favorite for sure. :)
