Wow. I'm really glad I had a NOS Control Panel to restore my X3 box with. That was very lucky. And I still have my old Control Panel! Waiting for another x3 to aquire... Needs a bank button though. Somebody moved the console without asking me, knocked it off and lost it. and the old one... Hey guys, how much would it cost me or would I have to invest to start selling these and to have them start being made? These scalp prices are ridiculous... It can't be that much to invest, can it? I don't know much about this sort of thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dempsey_86 Posted September 9, 2023 Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 So you just missing that one button and the x3 chip? Just 3D print a set of buttons and you can complete a 2nd x3cp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think about it, I know someone who informed to make these ant it was 30000 usd to make the molds and some samples. You can never get that investment back in a community this small like the xbox scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there another way to do this? Or is there only one way? Besides 3D printing, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dempsey_86 Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) @Bowlsnapper You can find the 3d print file here if you want to test: LINK Thats the result of the 3D print, the xecuter xtender is also 3D printed here in this example. Tbh it's nice how this is possible, but you can see its not the real thing ofc. Edited September 10, 2023 by Dempsey_86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetdarkdestiny Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 On kleinanzeigen.de was one the other day with x3cp for 379,- euros but with a smartxx v2 in it. Would still prefere another XBCase over the X3cp even those XBCases are ultra long sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the assumtion that you alreay bought a frontpanel and your wife will kick out of the door when you buy more. But, if you feel better, I can write you next time I see something new. 23 minutes ago, Dempsey_86 said: @sweetdarkdestiny Just checking this site, wtf is this? Not to sure here.

As I writen in a different topic it should harm the XBox when soldering a ram chip the wrong way. A guy on eBay from which I bought ram chips, did that on his xbox and nothing happend to it. Anyway, if you can solder a GPU I could send you one or two or three for free since I have a couple of them for each version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it looks different from the rest of the surface, however, it's still a control panel. And the lighting and switches were still done satisfactorily. Its not THAT bad. lol. And yes, the listing is way too expensive. I can appreciate him trying to get as much as he can but damn dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dempsey_86 Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) He just offered a reduction in price. Still too much but we getting there, he need to reduce it one more time with the same amount and the price will be acceptable for a blue x3cp. Edit: only thing the seller does not see is that he doesn't send to my country haha Edited September 10, 2023 by Dempsey_86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at these pictures it looks better in my eyes. I even think the smoke one is the same as in the pictures with the full xbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It requires a much smaller investment and can be commissioned on a one-by-one basis. I'm sure it would help people get the Control Panels they need for their boxes, as I'm sure there are plenty of people with X3s who would like one. Are you able to help me track this person down? They even got the texture pretty decent too! I'm impressed! I don't even know how it's possible to texture plastic like that without a mold... Is the translucent one in the top picture really printed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
