Sounds simple enough. I wouldn't want it with the always-on, as I'd want it to just match the existing ones I have.

Which disc(s) would it need? Does it need the white rings from the Kevin disc, or does it work with the ones from the Rinzler disc?

so... there's no additional led's added to the legacy disc, its just different colored ones that are semi-brighter....

i want a true to the movie version... Colored C-Ring on both sides [with the 'loading' blocks at start] and White outter-Ring...

Does the Rinzler come with two discs? You advertise it as thought it comes with both.

yeah, but the little colored notches at the top and bottom of the disc arent cut out, and the 4 pegs arent drilled out and givin thir own led's either...

for how much you charge to give a disc the works, it almost doesnt seem worth it when theirs other assembled ones for about 100 bucks who do add more than just different lights and a usb port.

I've experimented with cutting out the 4 notches - I can't get results that match my standands. Either the cutouts are too sharp or when filling the notches with epoxy resin I can't get a finish that looks acceptable. I have done a disc with the 4 pegs drilled out and and gotten good results but it's enough of a pain that I don't want to do it regularly.

I'd be very surprised if you can find any disc mods, completed (i.e. not a do-it-yourself kit), for $100.

My prices are all on the first page of this thread. Like I said, they are basically at cost with a minor labor fee ($20 per hour). I'm totally transparent with my prices.

I'm quite familiar with dremmel work - some of my computer mods (done entirely with a dremmel) have been featured on TV, magazines, and books. I even wrote and had published a computer modding book (Going Mod: 9 cool case mod projects - available from Wiley publishing). Even with all that, I can't get results with the discs that meet my standards.

Jackie Lawless Wrote:the labor fee is what gets me especially because thats what jacks up the price to an unreasonable amount... just a regular disc with an always on function is "6 hours of labor"incase you want your old functions back, and by your standards, 6 hours of labor =120 bucks. just for you to make a disc stay always on... pplus 20 in parts....

I offer two always-on mods - a simple & complex mod. The simple mod is less than $20 dollars but the complex mod is just that - complex. The reason that it's so time intensive (and expensive) is because every single LED is tied into an opto-isolator chip. So that's something like 6 solder connections per LED & eight LEDs disc, plus some resistors & diodes as well.

I don't know of anyone else offering modded discs that retain the original functions of the toy plus offer an always-on mode. If you know of one, please provide a link - I'd love to hear/see a different perspective that what I've taken.

I doubt that would work well. Putting green LEDs behind an orange plastic ring would look odd, I suspect.

So in general, we're talking a blue disc (if still on sale @ target, let's say $15), an LED change ($10 parts, $20 labor), plus shipping to you - so $45 plus shipping. I'd suggest painting the rear C-ring and details plus the 2 additional LEDs, which would add $16.

Sorry to bump this thread, but are you still selling these discs?

'Cause you see, I was planning to buy one from you, but unfortunately, I live in Brunei which is I don't know if you could ship to my country, though. But I really like the discs, and I really wanna buy one if it's still available.

LWSrocks2 Wrote:Hey Jedi, how did you put the battleship grey on the disc? I'd like to do a similar effect with one of my discs.

I took the disc apart, masked off all the sections I didn't want colored, and simply spray-painted it with Testor's battleship grey. The colors are actually a little more grey than the pictures show... I think it looks better in real life.

The paint is somewhat durable but I've have some spots where it has begun to rub off a bit but that's due to about a hundred times I pulled it off & on my jacket disc mount with all the associated rubbing.

jediknight0:- PM sent. And sorry to bump this thread and hope you can reply my message, dude.
