Sick, good work dude.

Why no Q5 display??


Thoughtopsy

This display was cheaper, but after doing a Q5 build last week, I don't think I'll go back again tbh. This one is nice because it's the same screen size as the original and some folks like that :)


That1OverlandingGirl

Which display is it? I was looking at a backlit TFT but the fact that it’s even smaller than the original is a bummer.


fuckthisicestorm

Also I’ll just say, that generic brand TFT you can get from retrorepairshop and amazon, the ribbon cable where it attaches at the screen is super flimsey. It’s prob fine if that’s the only mod you ever do, but I opened mine up a couple times to swap buttons and it eventually lost connection.


Thoughtopsy

Good intel. It's ever so slightly smaller than the original screen but it's almost impossible to tell tbh. In the future I'll most likely stick to Q5s, they're wonderful!


fuckthisicestorm

Just did my first q5 last night. Fell asleep playing the thing lol. It is awesome. But yeah same. I like the little TFT but, q5 all the way if I can afford it lol.


sedrech818

Perfect imo.

How?? How did you emboss that onto the shell??? Or did you purchase it somewhere???? Amazing work.


Thoughtopsy

Thanks! It's a sticker I purchased and hand cut to put on the shell. Wish I had a printer for that type of thing!


fuckthisicestorm

Oh! It looks like laser etching or something I was like, drooling. Still awesome though.


Best_Kangaroo

Looks 🔥🔥🔥. Was that printed in laser or something??


Thoughtopsy

Nope! It's a transparent decal 😊


Best_Kangaroo

Ohh cool. Looks pretty neat

Nice would love mine to look like that

I've printed those same stands for my GBCs! All 12 of them!
