I designed this replacement Sony badge for the PVM-2030 & 2530. Took a lot of prototypes, but it fits just like the original and has a nice glossy surface finish. Working on some for other PVM models that should be ready soon. They're available here: ebay.com/itm/3897580343…

@jormungandrizer @KytorIndustries I totally could, but I'd need a huge print bed to actually produce it. One of these days!

@6tanks1 @KytorIndustries Could you scale it up for the 20L5?

I made a 3D printed replica of the BKM-140M; the 16:9 widescreen mask for the PVM-14L5. Spend a lot of time getting the fit & surface texture to match the original. They're available here if anyone is interested: ebay.com/itm/3896999067…

@Stack3rr My usual strategy for case damage is to either print custom patches or cut pieces from ABS sheet. Then you can glue them in with ABS pipe cement.

@6tanks1 It got damaged in shipping some years back, it’s not too bad but it’s just annoying with pieces missing

@Stack3rr My printer isn't quite big enough for that. What's the problem with yours? Sometimes you can print small patch sections - it works best with ABS since you can glue it to the original case.

@6tanks1 Would you be able to print a replacement bottom for 14M2U?

@BlueShell3D Thank you!

@6tanks1 Pretty damn sharp!!

Also fits the international variants - PVM-14L3, PVM14L4, and PVM-D14L5A.

@usa_retro Sometimes it works! But often it doesn't.

They've said it can't be done. That a Trinitron should never be connected to a CRT Rejuvenor. My friends, the "online CRT arm chair repair critics" are incorrect. It can be done. We have the technology to test Trinitrons and bring them back.

@usa_retro Hey, that Pelco is really good. Those PC monitor tubes are crazy sharp! RGB mod it and it becomes a 700 TVL PVM.

I need to test this lot of PVMs I picked up. There is a lot of good stuff in here, but some if it looks a little busted. Is anyone down to check these out together on a Live Stream?

This was inspired by the GC Electronics 8606-L, the GOAT of alignment tools which appears to be OOP and hard to find. The printed version seems to work just as well.

Finished my design for 3D printed CRT alignment tools. The long handled one is great for those width coils & pots that are stuck waaay down in the middle of the TV. makerworld.com/en/models/1964…

Had an idea for some 3D printed CRT alignment tools today. So far they're working very well! Still have a ways to go on the design.

I made this 3D printed replacement for the Minolta CA-100 probe holster. Very useful if yours is missing. makerworld.com/en/models/1870…

@hitmanmcc Sure, if you need one just send me a DM and I can print you some.

@6tanks1 If I can get any of the two I have working this will be a godsend. Both of them have completely shattered bezels.

Finished another 3D print project. This time, I designed a replacement front bezel for the JVC TM-A101G. Very happy with it! It took a while to figure out how to model the button panel in a was that was functional and could print well.

@TO I took the original bezel, measured it with calipers, and tried to recreate it in a form that could be printed cleanly.

@6tanks1 This is so freaking cool. Love the orange!! Share your process please 🙏

@BlueShell3D Mostly it's because I'm making prototypes from random colored filaments!

@6tanks1 You did this because your fingers are always covered in Cheeto dust, didn’t you?

@mista_b_man I've experimented with 3D printed decals (here's one I made for a TM-1051DG). They work well but the resolution isn't quite as good as I'd like.

@mista_b_man That's the original front panel sticker. It's easy to peel it off and reapply. I'd like to make reproduction stickers, but haven't found a place to print them yet.
