The AVIO Mini Remote Mod

simply because I don’t own one and I have 10 mini remotes that needed this mod ><.

I guess it’s also because there’s already a few existing mods on the forums. Whereas for the mini remote, there’s only a couple that i’ve seen so far, and this one’s the most promising so far.

I’ll let it pass this time…

Also I don’t think a GT2B can get this small. I use GT2B and have designed a case for it, thumb style.

If you guys plan to do this mod once it’s complete, i recommend checking out my thread on how to finish 3D prints.

That might reduce the lifetime of the device.

Filling and sanding the cases. The logo was a bit harder to sand so a craft knife and a flat needle file would be great. 20181029_070751 20181029_081154 20181029_090853 20181029_212626 20181029_212631 20181029_212639

Long version added - Removed my logo cause I couldn’t get it to look good on the long version ):

Will probably work on the instructions this weekend.

I gotta ask, how much time to get to that level?

Err…! I worked on three at a time and i’d say i spent about 5 hours to get all surfaces smooth with the body filler. Then a coat of primer to bring out any imperfections the eye can’t see before spray. Then i wet sand with 400 grit, and one more coat of primer. Add them all up, it should take no longer than half a day for one remote. That is, if you want to get it really smooth, but it’s purely for aesthetics.

Would you accept a suggestion on the shape of the remote?

I’d love to see something similar than the APS remote:

But if it’s similar, what’s the point of doing it? haha :sunglasses:
