In my case, the RAP V.
You can buy plexiglass and the stick art from Tek Innovation:
Plexiglass: http://www.tek-innovations.com/arthobbies/?loc=products&cat=16&subcat=&item=196#thumb
Stick Art: http://www.tek-innovations.com/arthobbies/?loc=products&cat=16&subcat=&item=197
The screws for the plexiglass are included.
Template for stick art: http://www.tek-innovations.com/arthobbies/downloads/Art Hobbies HRAP V Template.psd
Photoshop is needed.
The process takes about 2 weeks.
So after trying out my octagonal restrictor gate, I've decided I don't like it as much as the normal square gate. Unfortunately, I can't find my old square gate anywhere.
Would this be a good replacement square gate to get?

Assuming you have one of the listed compatible Seimitsu sticks, it will work fine.

I really hope art's hobbies are still working on fighting edge templates. They said they were way back in march.
Oh right, that makes sense. Damn it. I can't seem to find any replacement Sanwa square gates.

Thanks. Are there any premade art designs? I'm not particularly skilled with photoshop/gimp.

What's the word on the Qanba Drone?
Did SRK's forums become private or get taken down? Visiting their Tech Talk forum brings me to a login page, and their main forum page is empty.
Appears that they require an account to see the forums, at least at the moment. I couldn't see anything until I logged in.
replace it with a Hayabusa and voilà, your JLF is silent
Sadly, no, but you can ask someone to do it for you at SRK's stick art thread: http://forums.shoryuken.com/discussion/75228/check-out-my-new-arcade-stick-no-image-quoting/p1. That's if you have a account.
If you have a particular image you want to just slap on the psd file without doing anything fancy, I can do that myself.
I've been thinking about it, and I might want to go ultra minimalist and just do a solid color, so that shouldn't be too hard to figure out on GIMP. Probably solid black this time around, and if I change my mind later on I'm assuming it's easy to swap art with the new plexi setup right?
Yes. Very easy.
Quick question, and forgive me if it's silly (first time customizing a stick), but with the madcatz te2 template we're not supposed to resize the layout correct? The button cutouts don't look big enough to me to place my art over the buttons. Also noticed when viewing the image it's zoom is at 33%. Do I just ignore that? Will everything work out when it's printed on an 8.5 x 14? Maybe I'm just overthinking this. :lol
Everything begins with a single step. Beginning of my Project Diva Future Tone arcade controller I'm making.
The template provided by MadCatz is fine. I didn't have to adjust anything.
If you can I'd print on 17x11 paper just to be safe and allow for edge bleed (usually it's good to have .25" bleed on each side). 8.5 height seems pretty close that it may crop off the edges of the artwork.
Sounds good. Thinking about placing an order at tek-innovations. Anyone have experience with them? How long did it take to get your art back?
Good luck on the controller! I've been thinking about making one too actually :v
2 weeks max.
That's good to hear. Hopefully it won't be too hard to do so.
So I sent a ticket to MadCatz a few days ago about their colored bezels and just now got an email saying whatever they have is on Amazon. Waaaaaaat. :/

Guys, I just ordered the Eightarc Drone. The wife is going to kill me but I like its small form factor and general look. I will give some impressions when I get my hands on it.

Has there been any word on if Hori is ever going to sell the Silent Optical Hayabusa lever separately?

Looking forward to impressions!
Whipped this together after falling in love with Juri's new look. It's just new art on my TE2 but i really like it. I would also like to get some green/pink sanwas for oldschool flair but whatever.
Re: the TE2 tho, the left had side of the top panel squeaks when I push down on it. does anyone else have this problem? is there something i can do to help with it?
All TE2's have that hinge squeak because the top panel does not sit flush with the sides. I think you can loosen the hinges to alleviate this, but I've personally never done it.
Urgh. So annoying. How do you do that? unscrew the little nut looking thing on the end?

Sorry for the late reply, it looks somewhat like that, but not so much rings and more splodges. I managed to take a picture of it in the light. The 'line' that you can see goes from the top to bottom and all the splodges are to its left, like its containing them
My Guardian came in today.
It's big. So it has a large pocket protected by this zipper.
Kind of worried about how long it'll last because it has this little flap part of the zipper hanging loose to overload it I guess?
Wish they went with the classic sewn into the bag design.
The main pocket is huge. Fits my te2+ with ease.
Wish it came with either an alt main pocket or at least an optional divider for the main pocket. All in all i'm pretty happy with it.
Now give me some patches, pins, or key chain plushie ideas to throw on this.

I've had a lot of fun customizing my TE2...but it really is a bad stick. I wish tek innovations would get the Fighting Edge templates up already so I can customize that and move my main stick over

Yeah it seems that way! I'm just going to open up the top and have a look, thanks
Do you have the art file for the Ultimax TE2? I can only find the Shadow version of that artwork and would like to do the same.
Thanks!
More progress on the Future Tone controller has been made. I've finished the frame. Next I need to cut the holes (hole saw for the buttons, but I need to get my buttons in the mail first, lol, and pilot holes for the bottom panel so I can screw it in for removal purposes)
After I do the holes (which I need to borrow a drill before I can do that...), then onto finishing with a stain/varnish, and a few days after that wiring up the controls and then ready to play!

Do you have a VLX to test if it fits? The old Defender was able to fit a VLX in there pretty comfortably.
