I keep applying bondo to my controller numbers, but about 2 days later it decides to shrink all up and leave a number imprint, instead of my originally smoothed controller ports.
but to get to the point...............I need ideas on how to display controller ports. instead of them smoothed out.
like... i was thinking that i could make plexiglass circles and when a controller is plugged in, it lights up. but i would have the circles the size of the original numbers (I think its 10mm)

you have to fill them in with plastic pieces then use bondo, bondo is not a hole filler _________________

Maybe an automotive body filler (bog, as it is known here ) might do the job. It grabs metal, plastic etc. and can be painted.
Or is that what bondo is??? _________________

for molding wise would be fiberglass and resin and hardener which you can pick up at your closest automotive store, besure to cut and measure before using the resin&hardener mixture together, and you will need a dremel with a metal cutting disc on it to do some trimming after its hardened. _________________

It depends on how much ventilation is going into the xbox, if you have lots of air going in in other ways then your fine, if not, an input is good _________________ Hotswap|HDD Upgrade|X3 Guide
