NZism custom artwork - showing off, feedback and advice thread.

[originaljulz]

Anybody interested in getting plexiglass panels cut for their Hori Real Arcade Pro 3s?

It looks like a lot of you guys have them, and might want to put custom artwork into them. Till now it looks like everyone who got one got it from Art's Hobbies, but I was thinking of getting one from the place Lenny mentioned in his thread (Plus Plastics).

The problem with that is, they charge a lot for making the autocad image or w/e needed to cut the plexi, and this is by far the biggest chunk of the price. The plus side is that once you have that, future cuts will be cheap as chips.

So rather than pay huge $$ for the designing charge by myself or just buy from Art's, my bright idea was to ask around, and see if any of you guys want to split the cost. The panels themselves would also end up cheaper than buying it from Art (less than the $70NZD he charges), and as well as that members of the NZism forums could ask for the autocad and buy it cheaper in the future as well.

What do you guys think?
Good idea or no?
Anybody keen?

I hope so because I could just get it from Art, but then the cycle would just continue and we'd keep needlessly wasting our money.


P.S. I already have one person interested so as it is, they will already cost around the same as ordering one from Art. It's just with every person interested, the price will be reduced by a lot.

Well I'm keen if you're going through Tek-Innovations becuase I want a TE full plate (http://www.tek-innovations.com/arthobbies/?loc=products&cat=1&subcat=&item=30) NOT a HRAP 3 plexi so I 'm no help if you want to get it cut here but am happy to help cover freight if you go to Tek-Innovations.
Do you live in Auckland? I live in Auckland but have no car so I would have to grab the plexi off you at Ranbats or at Nationals in August if it's here by then. Or I guess I could just get you to courier post it to me at my work when it arrives.

Anyway just let me know what you want to do because I'm gonna grab one either way but it would be better to split freight with you guys if poss.

Graeme I'm thinking of modding my stick so could also be keen on a plexi. When you thinking of ordering?

[originaljulz]

I was thinking of getting it from plus plastics. However the guy just emailed me and said he took it took to their subcontractor, and he's doing it for $45. So mean ballz I'm getting it for cheap as.

And yeah I'm West Aucks lol.

Graeme I have the autocad for the full TE plexi that you can take to any plastics person.

Just get them to peep it ffor you so you can change what you want.  e.g: rounded or square corners, 6 or 8 buttons.

Holler at me and I'll email it to you.

Also Im planning to get one of those Full plexi cases from arthong after august if anyone wants to go in for shipping then as well.
