Full casting a TV with a disco theme is as extraordinary as it gets. Let’s explore with us!
Exterior starts first
For every keycap at Jelly Key to have a solid base. So firstly, we cast the base in layers of colours, each of which needs approximately 8-10 hours to dry. Other essential components of a TV, such as a circuit board, screen tube, speaker, etc., are also cast in separate moulds to ensure consistent quality. Once each piece becomes completely dry, we’ll move on to the next step.
After the tiny parts are secured to the base, we start moulding the first outer case. It takes roughly 16-24 hours for them to dry completely. The cases then go through surface treatment while our artisans begin colouring the outside pieces.
We still keep the same ten colour and screen designs as the previous series for 1.25u size in this collection. Besides, six new colours are also available.
Interior comes next
To elevate its galactic theme, we have applied a lot of sophisticated techniques to each and every little detail in this Retro TV series – Disco hustle. These twinkling patterns can be found in the buttons, speakers, and especially the screen. You will be able to hold a whole universe in your hand with the magical and glowing effect coming from this cosmical screen.
More interestingly, there will be a new screen design in the Retro TV series – Disco hustle artisan keycaps to spice things up. Regarding the 1u size, only new colours are also available to give you more choices. The giant art toy will include all the options of the two sizes mentioned above.
As you may know, we produce our keycaps by casting entirely, so we use an exclusive type of resin for these 6 new colours. This is to create the tiniest yet most twinkling details, which is very difficult when using the regular material. The unique resin we use this time is mixed with emulsion powder and golden & silver leaves to highlight a unique effect on the TV’s top lamb tube.
Additionally, a special colour version is created with a unique method that takes more time for the colour layers to dry. The patterns follow concentric circles and are stacked on top of each other. Each carries a particular colour identity and is also made from resin entirely. Therefore, it takes nearly 4 hours for each circle layer to dry so that we can proceed with the next one. We named this design “Iconic Gogglebox.”
We’re almost done !
Casting the overall crystal case is the final step, taking up to 24 hours for the resin to fully dry. Then they will go through our strict quality control process to make sure we keep only the qualified keycaps to send to you.
Finally, the TVs are packaged and ready for shipment. Let’s tune in to your favourite disco channel!
