Bro, if you find this message. Send the seller a DM! Let them know about the bubble wrap imprint. That way he can let the system sit out and cure for a few days and maybe get a nice film for each side before he ships it. I'm sure he would appreciate it if you tell him! let me know if you did. that kind of looks cool though.

I mean, when you look at it from afar, it looks nice. The color with blue leds fits pretty nicely. I do like that combination. Im not a fan of the psu window, because like why, but I would have it inside shelf so I wouldnt see it and the light would make it shine nicely. But when you look closer, and you notice all the imperfections, its terrible, double that if someone charges so much for those "mods". You know, if someone sells his work and it looks like this, its not good. I would expect at least the top window lines would be straight at minimum. Paint job looks rushed. Switch on back is like okay, you dont see it, but it looks like he chiseled it with stones. On one hand it would be awesome if he would make a hole on front to put receiver for remote there, on other you are afraid to even think about how the result would look like. You mentioned that he used it for a year, though listing is for open box item and not used item. Seems sketchy to me.

[@Triggered-RC]

@PogChamp I build hard bodied model RC cars from time to time. Have had this issue when failing to wait for paint to harden. Nothing to wipe away. It’s physically altered the surface of the paint. Have used the gear gun solution. Have also just have an extra coat of semi gloss clear coat, which does pretty much the same thing. Could even try with a. Hair dryer actually. I just used a heat gun coz I had one.

[@Triggered-RC]

@PogChamp Right. Now, the pattern is kinda cool. You can buy stencils for that design. Looks really good when one part is matte finish and one part is gloss. Frankly, I’m really surprised at the lack of skill on this console and the last one he had on his channel. Makes me feel like busting out my lights, Dremel, paints etc. and modding my Xbox Series X. Way simpler than dealing with RC cars. All the surfaces are flat!!! Check out my Joker Mobile on my channel for some interesting masking work with the mouth on the side of the car.Or my Holiday Roadster I painted to look like a cow. Or my most recent Batmobile project.

[@detectivespoon8190]

They probably didn’t use enough drying agent on the paint since the bubble wrap left an imprint. Looks great on video but I’m sure it feels weird and somewhat a bit sticky when holding it in person.

[@skinpixel.customs]

Not sure what you mean by didn't use enough drying agent? They if anything would have used too much clear coat(used to protect the painted layers) or not let it dry long enough before sending it out. The paint also needs to breath, wrapping it in that much bubble wrap with it being sent through the parcel system with drastically changing unregulated temps does not help either. I can undertstand the need that they want to protect it as much as possible in shipping, just using the consoles own protective wrap would have been enough as it's not bubble wrap. I've learnt this my self when I started modding using paints, luckily not on customers' order. It wouldn't be sticky or even feel too noticeable on a blind touch test. Hopefully the guy who's modded this xbox is reading these comments / seen this video. It would be good for him to learn from this and helps him only to improve :) as otherwise yeah it looks pretty awesome beyond a few rough edges. As the purchaser it's what you pay for, that money goes into helping the guy afford better tools and the ability to learn.

@@skinpixel.customs i did let it dry for 2 weeks to a month because i used the console as my personal xbox. Not sure why it did that to the paint tho.

[@skinpixel.customs]

@@MrMemo0325 It'd be the lacquer clearcoat you have used either a little too thick or the brand is of poor quality. With as much bubble wrap, and the temperature conditions going from hot and cold in transit can cause the bubble wrap to sweat, that can have an effect on it, even with a perfect coating of lacquer. Wrap it in something flat like wrapping paper or the same softwrap that it comes with in side the box new. I wouln't bother with bubble wrap either if it's inside the box. Bubble wrap is evil. I made a similar mistake on my first controller paint job, clear coat was maybe a little thick and I thought as I store it bubble wrap would keep it safe. It made an indent after a couple of weeks. I don't mearly put on as much clear coat now, and also don't wrap the finished items in bubble wrap. It's a learning process mate those skills will get better over time I'm sure.

@@skinpixel.customs i believe it was 2x max. I only do 3 coats, first 2 coats are light to get angles and the last is for complete coverage. The 2x max is a very good brand but i guess its not good for consoles. I used it on wheels. Bubble wrap doesnt mess up paint when its been cured. Ive used other brands of clear coat and they were fine. I just think 2x max is not good for consoles

[@InTheMindOfficial]

Your guess as to how the fan switch works is 100% correct! Fan speed is controlled via pulse width modulation, which is a signal typically between 0-1024. That signal adjusts the fan speed, so with that signal absent, which is what the switch is breaking in the circuit, the fan runs full blast

They bypass the voltage regulator/controller to the fan and made a toggle switch to supply full voltage when desired, it’s the same if you do it in a cars blower motor.

[@kcmullins6179]

I believe the fan mod is just giving the fan more voltage n amperage to speed it up on purpose.... the series S as you know gets pretty hot regardless of how you set it or mount it... so thats prob why he done it like that to keep the cpu n gpu cool... personally I'd add multiple fans instead of throwing a bunch of power at one giant fan.. it would prob look more wicked with multiple fans like a gaming pc

[@ryans413]

The fan switch is just delivering more power to the fan making it spin faster. The fan is controlled by heat sensors on the mother board when this sensors send a signal to the fan controller it increases the power and speeds up the fan. The guy probably just taped into the power supply mains and just giving the fan full 12 volts when you hit the switch making it spin faster

unlike the series x mod, this one was well done indeed. definitely more attention paid to detail, though I probably would have dremeled a hole for the ir sensor, it's likely he wanted to keep any cutting to a minimum though. the fan mod was interesting to say the least, likely the switch just bypasses straight to 12v, I probably would be one to use this mod as replacing the fan would be cheaper than having to replace the console. too many times these things are prone to running much hotter than they should in the name of "Quietness"

Im a bit late, but i can explain the fan wiring. The pinout is +12v, ground, pwm and rpm sensor. The rpm sensor goes to the Xbox to see if everything is okay The +12 and ground are always the same, while the pwm pin controls the fan. He made the pwm pin pass through the switch, so when the switch is on the signal passes and regulate the fan, when the switch is of it blocks the signal and the fan goes to the full speed mode.

If you use a little bit of rubbing compound car polish you might be able to buff out the bubble wrap indentation in the paint.

This feels like a project somebody put some effort into, and I can appreciate that. Bit rough around the edges, quite literally, (I know I sound like an asshole, but for instance LED strips without a diffuser or indirect lighting is a rookie faux pas, and I say that as having done it myself and only learning how to do it better afterwards) but this doesn't, y'know, _feel_ like a cheap job just crapped out to sell something as "custom modded"; if you've ever had a look at the modchipping scene, you know what I'm talking about. Again, no disrespect to the modder, I wish him the best if he continues along this path and this wasn't just a one-off passion project.

How to destroy a perfectly nice console

[@utfigyii5987]

If you want to know then step one throw it out of the window, step two kick it under a car, step three done

Purple console looks awesome, keep up the good videos!

[@schleinitz6787]

I actually kinda like the bubble wrap marks

[@DAN.eight6]

shockingly poor

[@paulowen2172]

the "Imperfection" in the window is the remainder of the Xbox logo that is usually on that side, i think he definitely should've made the window slightly bigger to remove the logo completely since you basically cant read it anyway.

[@B4nan0n]

They missed the opportunity of installing a lcd screen instead of just a window. I think is more cool the idea of having a all in one console :u

I learned that bubblewrap leaves marks on certain materials in like.... 5th grade. Its pathetic someone selling a custom anything hasn't learned that. I dont even sell $10 records without a piece of plastic or brown paper between the bubble wrap and the record sleeve. You can get a big roll of brown packing paper for cheap and its perfect to wrap items in before the bubble wrap.

[@jrob0021]

Wrapping in brown paper would’ve made it worse lol, it would’ve been scratched up and rubbed paint off

Actually can't believe you thought that looks good. For the money you paid it looks absolutely horrendous. Even without the bubble wrap issue. The seller was actually taking the piss!

[@blairjparker]

😂I had to pause on the shot of the remote to check it, it's the exact same remote as the LED strips I got that respond to audio changes. I'm sure it's just a generic remote that is used in a ton of LED products, but it's still funny

[@sihocolus]

Tbh that looks like a Halo Covenant Bundle Console. The Blue Color and that imprint looks actually Nice.

[@HappyWheelFan2013]

It's probably a normal 4 pin fan pinout, and when you flip the switch to OFF it disconnects the pwm wire, which would make it run full speed, and also explain why the switch wiring seems "reversed" because you are technically shutting off and overriding PWM functionality.

[@rangerste]

Nice to see that the console has a PS4 mode integrated in the fan

[@madrowlawsin2262]

When you want to cool ur pizza rolls down faster just hold em over the fan lol

Better than the last but still... things can be improved. He did a good job routing the leds, ir sensor could be moved to the window area so you can get more functionality out of it. I really wish you could have bought one of my modded consoles 10 years ago...puts these to shame. As for that fan mod it's just a pwm wire cut. So without a pwm signal the fan goes 100%, with the pwm the xbox can control the fan. I used to do this in Asus ROG laptops back in the day.

[@SLAAMIT]

That brown paper shipping method is clutch when you dont have a spare box laying around but paper bags

[@chrism8860]

Cool that it changes colors from blue to purple depending at angle

[@mistahcahawking]

He's basically just put a PWM controller that's set to max between the switch and the fan and connected it to the header so it swaps between the data cable from the MOBO and controller

[@crawfish5278]

If you still have it try to rub it lightly with some 90% alcohol and it should smooth it out without eating the paint up

Dang color shift (blue to purple) is so cool but, without a top coat on paint even plastic like this can basically rub the finish and it kind of buffs it to a different glossy sheen… what a shame.

[@JosePineda-jn8jk]

Should have been wrapped in paper first or some sort of soft foam or plush kind of lining to prevent the bubble wrap impressions left all over.
