You and Rocker gaming got it figured out man I will be investing in all the equipment necessary to make custom controllers from scratch I was original very interested in casting metals for various reasons and such but gaming was something I always really enjoyed and so I've made up my mine to start making customer controllers a little side note while iam in the subject I used to work for Battle Beaver Customs you may or may not know who they are they make custom controllers for Xbox GameCube and Playstation but with all that said when I get the money to start buying all the equipment necessary I will give you updates on what I've made thank you so much for sharing this great work of art

[@jayjay69]

so man what have appren

[@TankTheDragon]

This already sounds expensive and difficult.... But on the other hand, cool looking custom controllers, so it's tempting

[@theshizlet1]

The editing is FIRE

[@Spikeawe]

Just want to say thank you for making this series.

[@northgamingsupply]

You’re welcome!

[@acid3719]

me at first:yeah,i can do that me after 3 minutes:no i can't

[@kennethdaniella5485]

The editing on this is crazy. Great work and narrative north!

[@price5560]

A lot more involved than I thought lol

[@maciejkobus]

Wow. It's rare someone is sharing all the details of his craft. I really want to get into resin casting. Can you do a video on how you make decals?

[@rocketman093]

bro this series is AMAZING. I'm definitely going to get into this now.

[@SimpPro101]

Everyone who is all "Man these custom controllers are cool but too expensive" just got shut down

[@mr.dr.kaiser4912]

I exclusively play on a 3rd party controller and haven't been able to find anyone that makes replacement sticks for them, so I might end up trying to make my own one of these days.

[@TarotLadyLissa]

I would LOVE that! I want a custom game cube so bad!! Great work!

[@Noahtheorigianl]

This vid needs way more views mannnn

[@JayBoyModz]

So sick man thanks a lot for making these. Just bought a pressure pot recently and have been wanting to get more into casting. Did you happen to have the STL file for that mold box?

[@northgamingsupply]

Thank my dude. Just added the link!

[@JayBoyModz]

@@northgamingsupply Thank you!

[@spectrepro]

Why don’t you make molds/casts of the GameCube console? Just wondering if they’re really complicated and if you think they would fit in the pressure pot.

[@Synthwave596]

dont think i didnt notice you updated it 😅😅

[@heboottoobigforhegotdamnfeet]

Great video glad I stumbled on this!

[@northgamingsupply]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@loganfield8827]

do you need both a pressure pot and vacuum chamber or just one of the two?

[@TinaeCrescent]

I tried something very small thinking oh I can just use the putty silicon for the mold and I guess yeah it worked but I went to look online to see what other people are doing and wow I had no idea what I was getting myself into LMAO

[@danielonofrio4600]

Hey my friend and I just started to mold buttons and the buttons came out nicely but the triggers were still bendy and the center supports weren’t filled in. Any suggestions to fix these problems

[@Timberwolfee]

The Large box STL loads scaled very small. what are the dimensions of the box?

[@Jay-fn5dd]

Thanks for this man! I’ve been resin casting for the switch for a while now but needed to up my game, and your tutorials came just in time! Quick question though, where can I get a heating pad like that one? I can’t seem to find them anywhere

[@northgamingsupply]

I use one from slickvacseal.com

[@cameron6262]

You should do Sega Controllers next!

[@carterdebruyn8637]

I'm curious if you can use a 3d resin printer to create a similar result. Anyone know?

[@Kayso789]

also can I use a third party gcc if I don't have an actual one?

[@Kayso789]

can I use craoyla modeling clay instead of plastalina clay, it says its non hardening and I searched up online and it doesn't have sulfur

[@Roadhog360]

Where can I get the mold rack?

[@macromikey]

Can the pressure pot and vacuum chamber be used interchangeably? From what I understand they are both used to eliminate air bubbles so what is the difference?

[@lvortexl3701]

yeah leme just drop 600$ on a preasure pot , 200 $ air compressor then a 110$ on the vacuum chamber.

[@Ccg_V97]

If it says paint spray or paint pressure pot is that able for use or is that different equipment

[@xanderdragonmoore]

You can use a painter's pot, however, you will need to change the way that pot works in order to have it work under pressure so that it can hold in the air instead of shooting it out.

[@weethen]

Is there anyone who also casts sticks like you? I'm looking for a full set but I can't seem to find anyone who also does the control stick and c stick.

[@northgamingsupply]

Check out the description, I linked to a bunch of creators who do great work, a few of em do sticks as well!

[@byakuzac]

any cheap pressure pots on amazon? im new to this i did some castings in the past but without pressure pot or vacuum chamber if i have pressure pot do i still need a vacuum chamber ?

[@jaylon1016]

hey man, even though north trashes the harbor freight pressure pot it is a great beginner's pressure pot running at only $100

[@zacharykamauf6429]

You made molds with out a pressure pot and the vaccum?

[@deepfishdev]

Feel like I’m watching a breaking bad sequel :0

[@knucklestheechidna5718]

Could one use resin printer to make buttons?
