I love the love and care that went into these. It truly makes a great addition to the experience of the despecialized edition!

Ron, what brand type of Inkjet printable Bluray discs do you use?

I think they were TDKs, but I recently re-ordered and got some Verbatim discs.

I’ll give 'em a shot. Google hasn’t been a whole lot of help - a lot of discussions over the years regarding the ‘best’ to use.

A couple links for anyone interested:

Seems TDK, Verbatim, and Optical Spectrum come up the most and to stay away from “BD-R LTH.”

Hello, I am new here and I wanted to let you know how impressed I am with your work on the custom box set of the “despecialized edition”. I am quite happy because I bought a Canon Pro-100 and I plan to have my own box set thanks to you 😃

A question, though… before I start printing, I noticed that the size of some of the pdf you shared with us are quite small, and when I zoom in, it seems like the resolution is not very high. I am afraid that the quality of the picture won’t be very good on the prints… any thoughts? Maybe I am wrong and they will print perfectly, I am not used to print pictures from pdf LOL

Thanks again for all your work!

Others have printed it and no complaints so far!
Good luck!

You would happen to have the template for the TOPPS Cards, would you? I am wanting to create my own.

I’m afraid you’ll have to recreate that one on your own. It was exclusive to those who bought my box set. The resources to ape the Topps card on your own can be found online.

Best,
Ron

Here’s my cover for The Force Awakens which is designed like my previous covers. These are for Criterion style cases.

Has anyone done covers for the prequels in this style? If not I’ll attempt a swing at it but just wanted to check first since my photoshop skills are no good

After being beaten and battered by prequel hate, I promise not to be that to the next generation.

Is there a good way to remove fingerprints from un-printed glossy BD’s?

I’ve done a few test printings on discs that didn’t quite burn correctly and noticed a few of them shown fingerprints after I printed. (more noticeable with the black background njvc disc images).

What is a safe way to clean the print surface prior to printing?

I’ve done ALL the covers. I just haven’t uploaded them because the despecialized versions are not yet available.

Is it possible that I could have access to them? PM?

Ronwilm,

great work & initiative. I really love your slipcase, extras and covers-great job! I spent a large part of friday putting two of them together.

I can see how the slipcases are somewhat hard to print if you don’t realize that the paper stock is 12x18 (use the ‘view’ rulers on your PDF). My local printshop did print all this out for me in triplicate on good stock paper for about $25. I wanted to make two sets (one for me and a friend) and have an extra for mess-ups (which did occur). Unfortunately they only had 11x17 for the slipcases, so I just winged it.

I was using a white Elmers-type glue to stick everything together but hated it immensely. Does anyone have any suggestions on a better glue? I know that Ron suggested ‘rubber cement’ but I wasn’t sure which one.

I watched the DIY video and will head over to a thrift store to pick up some old books to get going on attempting that version as it’ll probably hold up much better over time. Thanks for posting that video.

ronwilm are you planning to do some ‘sticker’ templates based on your slipcases for 2.0? I for one, would love that.

Now, I just need to wait for an invite from a kind stranger on another discussion for a MySpleen invite and I should be off and rolling with a full set of my own! This is so cool. “The wa-i-ting is the hardest part” - Tom Petty.

Cheers!

P.S. This project has given me a reason to go back into the ole’ craft store since taking a break from drawing. Loved taking some time to relax and cut the pieces to put this project together.

Sad to see you take it down. I can not blame you thought with all the garbage of people stealing your design and using it to sell sets online. It scares me from wanting to put mine out. I want to get this out for free to the Honest members of this community they are a great bunch and deserve this kind of stuff.

Anyway, godspeed and hope to see some more from you someday!!!

I’m new to the forums and it seems that I’ve just missed being able to download the files for this beautiful box set (I’m crying on the inside (╥_╥) ), but I just wanted to stop by and say how impressed I am with your work ronwlim. I’m sorry the ebay vultures had to ruin the party as usual, but I completely understand why you pulled them. These are stellar sir and you should be VERY proud of them.

Thanks so much. I’m already working on improving my personal box set. I’ll probably post pictures soon… but sadly, not the files.

Ron, will you be doing another production run of your set once you update your covers?

I look forward to seeing them! I wish there were some way which would allow creators in these forums to upload their work and guarantee that it wasn’t misused. Such is life I suppose…

A few months ago I created a custom box set, cases and goodies for Harmy’s Despecialized Editions. I even made a set for Harmy.

Since I’ve also created other versions of the Bluray cases, I decided to make a new thread for just my designs. I’ll add more here as I design them. Future cases include Despecialized prequels and of course cases for the new trilogy.

NOTE: While I’m happy to provide download links for all my designs, please do not repost elsewhere without attribution. Also, these are meant to be FREE. Please do not create sets for sale using my designs.

Thank you!
Ron

Has anything changed sense you posted this??? 😦 no artwork is better than the ones you took down that were in harmys unboxing video and I want to use them. NOT SELL LIKE THOSE IDIOTS
