Graphic Designer Emma Orhun Modifies Tamagotchi Connection V3 with Apple Watch

This is really cute, although it breaks our heart to see a Tamagotchi Connection modified. Emma Orhun is a graphic designer that recently fell back in love with Tamagotchi, and recently ordered a translucent Tamagotchi Original from 1997. Emma had a Tamagotchi Connection V3 as a child and decided to modify it by removing the electronics from the Tamagotchi and placing an Apple Watch SE inside.

The idea all started when her friend had an Apple Watch, and Emma was wearing her recently purchased translucent Tamagotchi Original from 1997. Emma loves the functionality of an Apple Watch, but thinks that they’re ugly. Recognizing that they are similar in size, she later met up with a fellow artist, Calum Patrick for the first time to discuss the idea and follow their tools to take apart the Tamagotchi Connection V3.

After taking apart the Tamagotchi Connection V3, she then removed the electronics inside the Tamagotchi, and used a Dremel to shave down the interior structure that holds the electronics in place within the Tamagotchi.

Emma then purchased an Apple Watch SE from Facebook Marketplace, and placed it inside the Tamagotchi Connection V3 and secured it with alien tape or gorilla sticky tack.

To charge the Apple Watch, simply remove the backplate of the Tamagotchi Connection V3 and place on the wireless charger. You can now attach your “Tamawatchi” to your pants, purse, or more to show it off.

Emma wants to take this early prototype, which is not fully functional to Apple and Bandai Namco to make this dream a reality.

I modified my 3D artist OG-RE4 Leon S. Kennedy head sculpt. I also repainted him, for the gazillionth time, if that wasn't obvious. I have to say, modifying a tiny eyelid was pretty easy to do with the Vallejo Plastic Putty, the only issue is, it doesn't seem to sand all that well. It started to crumble when I tried to sand it. I let it cure for longer than 4-hours, when is supposed to take only one to two hours, according to Vallejo's own website. I had read mixed reviews about it sanding well, or not. I guess it doesn't? Kind of weird, considering it is meant to be filler for models, and then it goes without saying, meant to be sanded afterward for a perfectly smooth finish...?

Regardless, I feel it works well enough for me, for tiny modding projects. I am definitely going to use it again for my Leon, whom I feel happier about right now, but I still know that he's not accurate enough. He'll never be, because he wasn't sculpted accurately enough, and that's pretty sad. However, the only thing I can do is try to make mine as accurate as I can without having to pay someone else to 3D sculpt another one for me. I could try myself, but I live in the middle of nowhere and I don't want to have an adventure trying to figure out how to create a 3D sculp/mesh/file to then have it 3D printed somewhere. I haven't (3D) modeled anything in more than a decade. I feel like my old dusty 3D Max and Maya, are probably not it, for 3D printing and that's all I know. Since those were the programs, we were allowed to use in college, back in the dark ages. When I learned how to 3D model. I believe blender is the popular choice for 3D printing nowadays, but that wasn't allowed so I didn't even bother trying it. Of course, I am not going to be 3D modeling a head at this stage. I much rather mod this boulder of a 1:6 head sculpt. It's a huge head for what it is, and not accurate, but it's all I got! DX

I am happy that I found something that is less wasteful than a tiny .25 oz container of Aves Apoxie, and less expensive as well. I am probably going to try modding my Myou Bettina next, since I wanted to give him smaller eyes, but still don't want to waste money on Aves' clay, when I know I won't get even halfway through the tiny container. Now, I can actually try, without fear of wasting clay, money and possibly sanity. Modifying (relatively) tiny heads is a huge pain in the gut, but I still want my Leon to be more accurate, but not enough to pay anyone again for another failed likeness. I also want my Bettina to have much smaller eyes. He looks too baby faced for my taste. I do love my Leon so far, I feel he makes a gorgeous looking figure. However, I want my OG-RE4 Leon to be accurate and this is not it. I sanded his upper lid a lot, the 3D sculptor gave him te droopiest lids ever, I also sanded his jaw quite a bit -- Leon has a very roundish head. Not sure what the artist was thinking. I added an actual upper eyelid with the Vallejo putty, because the 3D-sculptor didn't give him any. Certainly not even close of an eye-shape as Leons, but I feel like I'm doing good progress. I wanted to see what the putty was like, before doing heavier eye mods. Now I kind of know, so I am comfortable moving on. I will try first on m Bettina, however, because that is an even larger head, with huger eyes to try plenty of times, without worrying too much about heavy damage (I hope!).

The 1st image and the last two were taken with my older than dust cellphone. I like the way those look, the "newer" phone adds a lot of noise/grain, for absolutely no reason, and also the colors are kind of gross, but they are all samsung phones, so I have no clue why the "newer" ones suck so badly -- I suck at taking photos as well, but I need all the help I can get. The "newer" phone, doesn't do me any favors. Sadly.

Tamagotchi Uni Circuit Board Power Off Switch

The Tamagotchi community is filled with some of the most creative people! You already saw that Orange_night on Reddit modified their Tamagotchi Uni to feature a power off switch, well now another member of the community has also created a solution.

Marcelmono on Reddit has just announced that they have created a little circuit board that will allow your Tamagotchi Uni to fully power off! Marcelmono was Abel to research the Tamagotchi Uni schematics and looked up the power-regulating chips specification to figure it all out. The modification will require some soldering to install what they’re calling the “Patchi-OFF!” board. 

How does it work exactly? Well here’s the technical jargon provided from Marcelmono:

Test points are accessible pads outside of a circuit in order test the function of said circuit after manufacturing. 

A chip on the Uni that regulates power has a pin/input named “SHDN” (Shutdown). 

The variant of the chip the Uni uses needs a “high” voltage applied to the “SHDN” pin to initiate the shutdown. 

By connecting the 3V3 (3,3 Volt) test point to the SHDN test point, a “high” voltage is applied to the chips “SHDN”-pin/input and it shuts down the Uni. 

The Patchi-OFF! board connects those two test points, but only if the conductive pad on the bottom of the rubber reset button presses down on the contacts on the board and completes the circuit.

Marcelmono is selling both the Patchi-OFF! Tamagotchi Uni Shutdown button circuit board for €7, and a Tamagotchi Uni Patchi-OFF! Shutdown button installation service on your existing Tamagotchi Uni for €25! Both are available on Marcel’s Tama Spa & Repair Ko-Fi page.

"In Orbiter Processing Facility High Bay 3, workers continue establishing the mechanical interfaces between the U.S. Microgravity Laboratory (USML-1) and the orbiter Columbia. Electrical connections will be performed next. To left of the laboratory module is the Extended Duration Orbiter pallet. Columbia is targeted for liftoff this summer on the STS-50 mission, the first extended duration flight with a scheduled stay of 13 days. Because of inclement weather at the prime landing facility, STS-50 landed one-day later, marking a Shuttle record 14-days in orbit."
