how do you find the exact size to make custom buttons for different handhelds ? Some are smallers than others and unique shapes at the bottom of the buttons. You need the original ones to understand how I guess, or maybe just a 3D print file of the buttons?
I messaged you a while back on how one would do this after you made the mando controller. I was essentially right and you confirmed it. So cool to see you actually do it. I’m gonna try this with some pla and get creative to smooth them out and paint them. I’m but trying to drop more money on a resin printer 😬
There is no stupid questions, the pressure pot will remove any air pockets in the casting, without it you will be having issues with bubble and air pockets. But its possible to do it without one.
@@Jacobstoddy they are not that expensive, I converted one like this one www.amazon.com/CALIFORNIA-255C-Gallon-Pressure-Casting/dp/B09T3YTG5Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=12C5H8B1VU2FV&keywords=pressure+pot&qid=1675029826&sprefix=pressure+po%2Caps%2C182&sr=8-3
So the mica powder creates the color background? Also how long do you let the buttons cure before adding the 3d prints? I think you said it but wasn’t sure
The problem with that is most moulding silicones (specifically platinum based silicones) will not cure properly when in contact with UV resins, which is what resin printers use. The UV resin inhibits the silicone's curing process which can make casting small parts like this incredibly difficult. I actually bought his 3D printed Xbox letters with the intention of doing what you describe. Making a mould of them in silicone so I could recast them myself with clear resin (to shine LEDs through). The silicone directly in contact with the printed letters would remain sticky for a long time and in some areas just wouldn't set at all. This made it incredibly difficult to correctly castcertain details like the gaps in the letters A and B. I ended up having to lightly sand any edges of the lettering that I could, followed by cleaning them thoroughly with IPA. After that the silicone casting process actually kinda worked. It's definitely doable but it's extremely finnicky to get it to work and generally harder to do than you'd think.
Mate I'm waiting for you to customize a NEW ps5 controller that's coming in 2023. The one with removable sticks. I'm sure you will make something good of it.

Many of you wanted to know how to get the logos in the buttons, well this video is for all of you, I hoop you enjoy and have fun with your projects.
Is it possible if I can buy the logos for the buttons already printed it would make no sense for me to buy a whole 3d printer just to make logos
Hay do you sell the o the x the triangle and the square
Insanely well done tutorial! Gonna try this soon, Thanks a lot man!
Amazing stuff man. This is exactly what i was looking for!
Can you make this for Nintendo Switch Lite?
I have a rainbow 2 controller and I want to make custom buttons or someone too I got spare buttons as I had a broken controller

Will you make any for the ps portal?

Good luck, let me know if you have any further questions.
thats what i need pal. the ps5 logo on the home button
BOYYYYY!!!! HERE IT IS
Hope to see some pictures from your buttons.
Looks great but I would have really loved to see them in a controller
Do you sell the buttons already made via Mail orders?
Yes, I do, check out my website ejtechanddiy.com If you have a special request feel free to contact me on the site
I cannot wait for the resin STL
Well good news, you can find the STL on my website.
do the d-pad and the buttons O X Square Triangle match with ps2 controller?
I have a question that no one seems to have an answer… where do I find a soft touch feeling paint?
Do you have this for the switch. If not can you make one or know someone that has. Ur nolds look really.good.
Holy they look great, excellent tutorial man!
Hey what’s that iron man stand in the back called. I’m trying to buy one thx 🙏
Hey Fierce, This one was 3D printed and painted by me. this is the Mark 50 bust.
May you please do a video on how to do the joysticks
I wanna buy from your website but wanna see example of it
What exactly do you want to know about casting the joysticks?
How much for a set of buttons that have ABXY logos for PC?
Sorry, this might be a dumb question, but what are you using the pressure pot for listed on your tools list?
There is no stupid questions, the pressure pot will remove any air pockets in the casting, without it you will be having issues with bubble and air pockets. But its possible to do it without one.
@@EJTechandDIY gotcha. How bad is it without because I really want to start making my own buttons but a $600 pressure pot is quite the investment.

Good job man, I have a resin printer, but what you done here is cool
Thank you so much Wayne.
how do you know how much resin to put into the mold at the start to cure ? before the icon + more resin
Awesome dude. I may try to do some Xbox buttons like this
I've always wanted to make those kind of buttons but i can't afford most of the stuff i need and don't have the space for any of it
Check my website, I sell some of the things you will need to make your buttons. ejtechanddiy.com
So the mica powder creates the color background? Also how long do you let the buttons cure before adding the 3d prints? I think you said it but wasn’t sure
It all depends on your resin, but I normally let it cure 100% before applying the logos
Hey man how do you add the arrows on the dpad mold like the oem controller
wouldnt it be better to cast the 3d prints in silicone then you can recast them in colored resin?
The problem with that is most moulding silicones (specifically platinum based silicones) will not cure properly when in contact with UV resins, which is what resin printers use. The UV resin inhibits the silicone's curing process which can make casting small parts like this incredibly difficult.

Can you reuse the molds?
Yes, you can make allot of buttons with one mold
@@EJTechandDIY is your website still available because I tried looking it up and it is not found
@@luxsifi3479 Yes, here is a link.

Thank you!!!! Are the can these molds be used for the PlayStation 4 as well?
Glow in the dark. How about the rest of the controller?
I'm in awe
Hi bro do you have the reference of the first resine ?
With reference do you mean?
@@EJTechandDIY the product you use at 2:40 please
@@enzouz the resin is alumilite slow clear

I pre ordered one, you mean the dualsense edge right? But i still done know what to do with it.
@@EJTechandDIY Dualsence Edge, correct. I'm sure you'll get creative once its in your hands for some time.
