Novagem CDR

(1/2) > >>

genesim:
Tried the search and I can't find this exact answer...sorry if I missed it.

Can you put the Novagem CDR on after you have put the replacement coin door sticker? 

I mainly worry about drilling a hole and tearing it up.   Anyone got tips on how to easily/or best way do this?

leapinlew:
I assume the sticker is already attached? A good drill bit will go right through it. You could cut out the area with a razor blade (cut it a bit smaller) drill your three holes and you'll be good.

genesim:
Why smaller?   I guess the key is to take it slow like with a variable speed drill.   Just don't want it to rip.

Great idea on the razor blade though.  Thank you.

The shroud of the CDR will cover up the hole you cut. Here is the hole I cut for my CDR


Everytime I've had to cut through the control panel overlay with a drill - the drill was spinning as fast as it could, and I slowly drilled the hole. My thought was that it will cut instead of catch.

When I built a 2 player bartop - I had to cut holes after the artwork was applied:

Notice the lack of 1-player and 2-player buttons. I have no idea how I forgot to add those, but I did.

I used a spade bit with the drill spinning at it's highest speed and slowly cutting the hole. I tried cutting both from the front and from the back and ended up with some wood chips under the artwork. The buttons covered it up nicely. End result:

genesim:
Wow now that is different! 

Thank you again for the great advice.  Looks like I need to get to drilling!
