This is such a beautiful and well made video (and Tamagotchis!) I will be using this video for a visual guide for when I decorate mine this weekend !!!
I wish Bandai understood how unfavourable these bright pink and purple childlike colours are when a huge fan base are adults. I don’t have time to customise and refuse to buy such an ugly coloured shell so I’m waiting for new designs. Had your colours been an option I would have purchased by now. Really nice designs!
Even kids hate the colors they chose. The designs got worse from the oldest to newest, If theres another tamagotchi in the future i hope it doesnt look like these.
Thank you for this video!! I saw a painted Uni recently and I wanted to try it myself but I wasn't sure if I should sand the plastic or not. I figured you must have to and this video confirmed my suspicion. These are beautiful!
@@mimorijamaa3291 It went great! I painted the shell red, made a checkerboard purple, red and orange faceplate with gold lining, and painted the middle button gold. I love it so much!
I didn't print them, I just drew them out with colored pencils on regular printer paper. You could definitely print it on regular paper, there's templates online for the faceplates.
I would test it out on a different piece of transparent plastic before doing it on the actual tamagotchi. It can be a bit difficult for paint to stick on that type of plastic, but I haven't tried it.
is the sealer really needed? I' a little worried about the outer layer turning yellowish because some sealers cause that. but I really love how you designed them though. I'm looking forward to getting mine and trying to at least change the paper part
Is it 100% needed to sand them? I want to get a Uni soon and I DEFINITELY want to customize it, but the sanding is the only thing that scares me. These look gorgeous though!!
I haven't tried doing it without sanding, but generally it's better to sand so the spray paint will stick to the plastic. It probably won't stick properly without sanding. I wouldn't be worried about it though. You can also test it out on other pieces of plastic beforehand.
If you're going to spray paint then yeah, you want to sand them, it doesn't have to be crazy, but you have to give the material some grit, otherwise the paint won't stick well and will scratch off a lot more easily. (Think how for a watercolor piece, a piece of paper needs to have like 300 weight and when you feel it it's rough and has all those tiny grooves on it)
Hi, I'm impressed with the result, really inspired me to do a make over. Btw, what kind of screwdriver that you use? I use my small scrwedriver and it doesn't fit.
I used a screwdriver that came with a glasses repair kit. You might be able to research and look for the specific type of screwdrivers that are used for fixing glasses.
is the hot glue necessary for taking off the caps? is there another way to do it? 🤔 anyway i love the result!!! im getting my first tamagotchi uni tomorrow 🥹🥹🥹
I'm not the maker of this video (obviously) but I can explain how Tamagotchi buttons work: it's not about the pink button per se, but the sensor that picks up what the button does when you press it. So you could put the C button in the A button hole, doesn't matter because what matters is the sensor. Hope it helps!
i think that tamagotchi should make something very similar to the newer tamas but with the original non-backlit black and white design. i dont like that the new ones have lcd screens so thats why i like connections the best lol
@@velourve awesome thank you! I just got a screwdriver kit because I like modding and customizing tech but I'm really amateur. I hope I find the right one, and if I do I'll drop the name here in case you or anyone else needs it in the future

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Style is subjective.
@@sbcgaming3813not really better
@@nullbytyes, it goes without saying.
Omg you really drew faceplates by yourself? Looks AMAZINGLY good. I thought it was printed at first. ❤ Crazy nice designs.
Thank you for this video!! I saw a painted Uni recently and I wanted to try it myself but I wasn't sure if I should sand the plastic or not. I figured you must have to and this video confirmed my suspicion. These are beautiful!
I hate the default options! I ended up getting a cute case, but this is giving me better ideas.
I'm going to use this for when I redesign mine
Thank you for this tutorial! I bought all of the items and will be customizing this weekend!
tell me how it went!
@@mimorijamaa3291 It went great! I painted the shell red, made a checkerboard purple, red and orange faceplate with gold lining, and painted the middle button gold. I love it so much!
Amazing video now im not that afraid to deeply customize my uni!
Thank you so much for the tutorial 😊😊💖💖 using it as a guide in the near future!! 🥰
Looks good!! 🎉
So pretty!💕😍
Wow so beautiful 😍
so cool!! btw did you print that faceplate with normal paper? I has hoping to try this myself! thanks :) btw you made a rly beautiful edit❤
I didn't print them, I just drew them out with colored pencils on regular printer paper. You could definitely print it on regular paper, there's templates online for the faceplates.
@@velourve aw that's so cool! Thanks I was just curious about your method of making em, thank you so much!
hi would i be able to sand/paint the back shell also? i never see anyone do it
I would test it out on a different piece of transparent plastic before doing it on the actual tamagotchi. It can be a bit difficult for paint to stick on that type of plastic, but I haven't tried it.
A screw broke and I can't get it out.
any tips?
i already tried the rubber band trick, it won’t work.
Would be cool if someone did the case with mood/colour changing paint!
is the sealer really needed? I' a little worried about the outer layer turning yellowish because some sealers cause that. but I really love how you designed them though. I'm looking forward to getting mine and trying to at least change the paper part
hi how long did you wait to reassemble after applying the sealant?
@@yabaiyabai2486 I followed the instructions on the can. The wait period varies depending on which brand you use

Ah I see, thanks for your info
great video! i was just wondering though if you used any kind of sealant on the buttons and speaker?
Yes, I used the same acrylic sealer that i used for the outer shell
Can it work with any Tamagotchi?
is the hot glue necessary for taking off the caps? is there another way to do it? 🤔 anyway i love the result!!! im getting my first tamagotchi uni tomorrow 🥹🥹🥹
It's not necessary but it's the best way to do it without breaking/damaging the caps/plastic
How do you know the buttons are in the right spot?
I'm not the maker of this video (obviously) but I can explain how Tamagotchi buttons work: it's not about the pink button per se, but the sensor that picks up what the button does when you press it.

4:22 u completely forgot the resetbutton.
pov you feel asleep first at the sleepover
Beautyfull i only changed the faceplate 😩
Does the hot glue melt the plastic from the Tamagotchi or leave residue?
The hot glue didn't melt the plastic on my Tamagotchi. I did have a bit of residue on one piece, but it was really easy to just rub it off.
i think that tamagotchi should make something very similar to the newer tamas but with the original non-backlit black and white design. i dont like that the new ones have lcd screens so thats why i like connections the best lol
Can someone please give me an stl file for a shell, I have been searching forever.
Hey what screwdriver is needed for this?
I used a screwdriver that came with a glasses repair kit. That was the smallest one I could find
@@velourve awesome thank you! I just got a screwdriver kit because I like modding and customizing tech but I'm really amateur. I hope I find the right one, and if I do I'll drop the name here in case you or anyone else needs it in the future
@@velourve I believe it's a PH0 😊
love it but why didnt u spray the pink background as well?
Bandai design is so ugly !
@@asie don’t buy it’s very boring
