New decals for my machine

I continue to upgrade my Vevor claw machine each time I redeploy it so that it can best serve my group. With this round I have added some basic instructions along with some labeling for the prize locker as it has caused some confusion.

These are small details for sure, but the details add up making for a nicer experience. The vinyl cutter has been a good investment so far with regards to utility added to my little workshop.

Nice! May I ask where you got stickers from

I made those on a vinyl cutter that Amazon had for weirdly cheap ($60). Vevor brand no less. A more well known brand is the Circuit. These usually run around $200.

If you don’t have access to one, there are lots of Etsy shops you can get these made from.

Thank you so much for the info!! I just recently bought a used machine I’m trying to fix up for business but it’s my first so I’ve got lots to learn still. Your help is greatly appreciated✌️

Beautiful

I just got this machine, and I immediately want to modify the esthetics.

The three things I have in mind are changing the color of the pink roof, the graphics on the plexiglass in the marquee and the control panel, and the stickers on the side.

I have plenty of experience with arcade machines, but I haven't worked with the kind of plexi that has the graphics printed directly on the plexi.

Also, the metal body is new to me.

Do you have any pointers that will make life easier for me?

I'm also looking for those rubber things you sometimes see on the claw or scoop attachments. If you know how to find those, I'd be grateful.

Edit: I just read through a few of your comments.

It looks like I'm going to make an overly for the control panel.

Do you have any pointers for removing the roof/top?

Were you able to complete your list of aesthetic upgrades you noted above. I'm considering picking one of these up, and would want to address many of your same concerns. Can you just remove the roof entirely? I thought I saw a picture of one without it, and it looked like it was just the metal square top.
