after several iterations, 5.25" editions (both 'stealth' and 'normal') moving closer to final prints.
I expect to start shipping next weekend, for the 5.25" models

First turbo displays shipped
i am also looking into option to dim/color the display by putting tape over it (to match your preferences)
--> will experiment with this and post here

Testing dimming options, i got a large amount of tapes, to try out

which do you like ?
or prefer it nude and bright, without dimming tape?

I think the red tape dimmed one could blend nicely with the 'normal' front. I can imagine sourcing different colored LCD panels is kind of difficult, is it? I think green LCD panels would look nice, tho 😀

yes both look nice, i will offer them as options.
you can of course also put your own tape.

the green tape is this one : https://www.thomann.de/be/stairville_649_19_neon_green.htm
you can see it with a panel here :

I have also improved the 3d design for both 3.5" and 5.25" panels,
as i had managed to break a side of a 3.5" panel. I have replaced the 3d prints i already made.
It is stronger, from now on.

I added the green tape dimmed option to the webshop options, so you can order it pre-modded.

It looks great in combination with computer beige color

For the red tape option, the best one is a small roll i had laying around here, so i won't offer it in the webshop.
The big red roll i bought was not transparent... need to buy thin enough tape!

I will be exploring other color/tape options, but maybe best to just make a description how to mod, and a list of tested tapes.
Will be expanding this as i learn/try more.

Looks great indeed! Was very tempted to buy a role of tape myself for my DIY display projects. But at 12 Euro (including shipping) it was a bit to much as I only need 2cm*3cm*2 of that big roll. 😜
