Once tried to paint my front door and fucked it up so badly that a professional had to sand it down. Cost me more than a workman would have done in the first place.

    spray-painted a mouse, doesn’t look tool great (esp. on the underside) and I borked the sensor :(

    building a strange little contraption where it was a hexagonal box with six separate compartments, and a button in the middle lit up an random LED to randomly choose one of the compartments. In short, my measurements weren’t good and I ended up having to use a lot of hot glue to put it together. Also, I put the LEDs in a really awkward spot on the side rather than the top, which wasn’t a great idea at all.

      oh, uh, successes: at the same time as the former, I also spray-painted a DualShock 4 controller. I actually took it apart so I didn’t bork the electronics. (some paint did get on a ribbon cable, but it was able to scrape it off) The custom DS4 controller actually works, and the 3D printed buttons look great :D
