Switched to Transparent PETG for a Vintage Look

A project log for 8‑Key Macro pad with 3.5 inch LCD

The 8-key macro pad with screen isn’t just another macro pad — it's a visual, scriptable, dynamic control deck you build and own.

Just made a small but impactful change — I reprinted the case using transparent PETG, and it completely transformed the vibe.

The slight gloss and depth from the material give it a retro, vintage instrument feel — kind of like old game boy gear with tinted plastic covers. The internal glow from the RGB backlight also looks way cooler now.

No redesigns this time, just a material swap, but it really brings the build to life.
Sometimes a filament change is all it takes. 😄
