Customize your magician without painting

[jigero]

An easy way to customize your device.

Just buy selfadhesive vinyl in the color you like.
The procedure is simple.
First of all you will need a hard surface. Open some small holes and attach a vacuum cleaner.

After that make a frame and set the vinyl on it.
Put it in the oven for about one minute until the vinyl starts to deform.
Turn on the hoover and place the frame on the sueface. Of course the parts of your device are between the frame and the surface.

OK, and then...
I mean what about the control buttons, the screen???

[jigero]

with a sharp scalpel you remove the parts that you don't want. For the screen buttons, vamera...

Sorry but i cant find anything else to write, but if you have any questions i will try to answer them. So just post your questions.

I suggest that to do some thing like that you need to dissembled the device, in my case Qtek S100.

Can any one explain how to do that? Thanks in advance.

Ofcourse you must dissasembly the device, because if you don't i think that you will end up with at least a broken screen due to the presure from the vacuum

I have already seen this attachment but I still don’t know how to remove LCD screen from the case. I read that this is very tricky and the screen can be easily broken

Awesome, dude...

A few questions:

1) Where can one obtain the kind of vinyl you use? Hobby stores, automotive stores, something like that? Any brand names to suggest or to avoid?

2) How thick is that foil?

3) At what temperature is the oven? Do you preheat it and put the vinyl in once it has the temperature, or do you put it in and then turn on so it gets heated very gently? I think one could use a hot air gun instead of the oven and only heat the foil in the required spots (corners etc) while the vacuum is engaged.

in picture 16 i made a red circle. There is a white stopper that locks the screen to the case. With a screwdriver try to pull out this stop and the gentle push the screen and then slide it down left to the side of the stopper.

For the vinyls i bought A4 selfadhesive vinyl from ebay. but i don't know the thikcness of it
