Screen Surround
(you can order a screen at http://www.retrofresh.uk, Cheers, Dom)
Hi,
I have been working on a screen surround:
I printed one out, but it is too dark (still looks good though). I plan to print it on a clear sticker, with the grey behind (so it goes behind the glass). Hopefully it will look good.
I was trying to think of a good slogan and for now I like 'modified with raspberry pi'.
And a quick mock-up in paint:
Cheers,
Dom.

Re: Screen Surround
Oh hey, that is a great idea to just glue something over instead of trying to paint the actual screen cover.

Re: Screen Surround
I forgot to mention, I had also cut one out of black sticker vinyl to go on the back of the glass (that is why it is cut reversed)

Re: Screen Surround
Nice !
You should sell a sticker package with the screen border and the cartridge label !
I would buy one !
I have one question : if you put a sticker like this, the screen will be glued on it, right ?
If the sticker and the glue are not strong enough, the screen may come off, doesn't it ?

Re: Screen Surround
no, it was not cut by hand. The printer I use has a print and cut feature.Fleder wrote:Did you cut that out by hand? It really looks quite accurate.
Maybe it won't stick as well, if it really fails, then I will use another sticker to mask the center and then paint the surround.SidSilver wrote: II have one question : if you put a sticker like this, the screen will be glued on it, right ?

Re: Screen Surround
Oh thanks. Would you perhaps offer to sell me one of those if i send you the needed files and paths?dominator wrote:no, it was not cut by hand. The printer I use has a print and cut feature.
I used nail polish to paint the screen, but that looks not as good as if one used a cutter.
