Casting EVERYTHING for a GameCube Controller - #3 Resin Casting

[@SpookyGCC]

Insane how the smash logo came out in the cast. Great work.

[@alioth2021]

This is the best tutorial I've found for this sort of thing. I'll be sure to use these techniques when I want to make some custom SNES buttons and shells.

[@thps1]

these series of videos deserve way more views. i'm going to try this with an n64 controller and see if i have similar results. thank you for making these ur work is absolutely amazing

[@xXMrkaitouXx]

love this series!!! so informative while being presented in a fun/easy to digest manner!!

[@Lil_Yimmy]

You should make a playlist of these videos!

[@puchomagic1872]

Amazing work I love to see how others creators share their ideas 🙌👏👏👏👏

[@tymaginnis7746]

So awesome! Can't wait to try my hand at this with some Dreamcast controllers.

[@systemerror50]

This is fantastic thanks for this perfect video I’m tossing this one in the vault

[@soloshgg1002]

How many times can you use the same mold?

[@_vakas]

At least once.

[@lukemedina19]

Legendary stuff. Bravo!

[@Crystal_Dragon_]

Thanks for the tutorial! Great work!

[@Fresoda]

Hey dude, I love the video. I have been looking to make custom buttons myself but sadly there are so many tools that I don't own so I'll leave the custom buttons for u

[@ike-2357]

Do you do this with Gameboy shells? I was thinking about doing this for my Gameboy pocket and Gameboy advance

Great videos! I'm currently doing research for creating plaster molds to cast aluminum shells (durability!). These videos are incredibly helpful!

[@harmonicposting]

how is that coming along?

[@Wodpuncher001]

one year later - did you do it?

[@inillustrious]

@@Wodpuncher001 Haven't been able to--work related obligations came up and I couldn't dedicate the time to it. Spinning the project back up! Been collecting a bunch of aluminum cans for when I did!

[@Jiggy1703]

Awesome! This worked out pretty well for my first time :) Do you have any tips for coloring the letters to separate them from the main button? Maybe even some tips for doing some custom designs on the Controller shell? I have no idea. Appreciate any help :) take care & stay healthy

[@TheToonamiRevolution]

What is the strength like on these shells? Would they break easily if you were tossing them in a backpack or hastily cleaning up and dropping them to the floor etc.

[@spectrepro]

They’re a little bit more rigid than an OEM shell which is made of ABS. When it’s screwed together I’d say it’s just as strong, but as separate pieces you could definitely snap them in half because of the added rigidity

[@anthonym2277]

How do you get both halves of the mold to line up perfect when you rubber band it together?

[@Poizon_SSBU]

imagine someone resin casted the stickbox parts

[@MetalCrushesRock]

Have you ever made copies of the silicone pads that go under the buttons? I'm trying to repair a rare generic OG XBOX controller that is missing the pad that goes under the back button, but it is a different part than the name brand one. Cool video! Thanks!

[@JBantha]

how much do you wait between the clear acrylic design and the back face of the buttons?

[@bmfitz2647]

May sound like a dumb question but can you reuse these molds?

[@CarlosSilva-us4tn]

Amazing! Can I use a different resin to cast the shells?? The shipping is so expensive more than the material prices

[@edgaralvarado9151]

Did you find any other resing to do shells ? Let me know please man

[@xDthat1kidxD]

looks super cool! but why does it still have the smash logo on the front shell?

[@indatubesurfer]

Wow amazing !! Do you sell these GameCube shells and buttons? Very interested !!

[@flat__stan]

cant remove the main controller shell from the mold for the life of me! Any tips for removing the part without damaging it?

[@ChaiRockyy]

Are you able to do transparent shells too?

[@712toaster]

Any chance there is an option for making a clear mold so you can observe and better control the color mixing while injecting the shell?

[@712toaster]

Also have you experimented with molding shells that already have new notches?

[@nemo_theescapist3343]

I don't have all the materials and hardware needed to to this but I'd would like to know if you can make a custom GC shell for me?

[@icandoodlee]

anyone know the song that starts at 9:19 ?

[@LoserTry]

how much one of this cost? fully build

[@chrisssergio]

How much would you sell for those moldings? Hahah

[@ChiodosBlowsDogs]

Is the pressure pot necessary or does it just speed up the process?

[@RileyGein]

Helps get all the air bubbles out. You don't technically need it and can get away with rotating the mold around to help tease the air bubbles out

[@pedronied]

How much experience would someone need to do one of those?

[@sirsmalls4565]

How many castings you think you can make with one mold?

[@northgamingsupply]

There’s a lot of factors, like if your mold has any delicate sections, it could only make it a handful of casts. Others can last dozens.

[@lukefig3765]

Can you do this with console cases?

[@ChiodosBlowsDogs]

I would assume you can it would just take much bigger boxes, molds and a lot more resin. I plan on doing this too, I don't see why it wouldn't work. Maybe, if you have a limitation on the size of your pressure pot or something like that.

[@benbrown9053]

3:48 I'm glad it didn't

[@mirkodiresta6923]

Vorrei avere qualche informazione o magari un video su come fare un ottimo stampo vorrei fare dei pulsanti del pad ps5

[@sirsmalls4565]

What can I use instead of Task 9?

[@northgamingsupply]

Any performance, high impact, durable cast-able plastic.

[@Ike12]

Two complicated I'll just stick with my regular trusty gray GameCube controller

[@speedygee6396]

You should do a ps4 controller
