Probably not what you’re looking for, but dbrand has their dark plates.

The product description is wonderfully salty 🤣
I don't even have a PS5 and I read the whole thing haha. The options are pretty nice too, definitely improves the look of that thing.
I still own the orginal dbrand version that is just the normal plate in black. Befor sony send their lawyer at dbrand
I've already done that manually with the original plates, it looks better but not 'good' lol
Looks like you’ve just painted yours, the dark plates are differently shaped than the originals. They hug closer to the profile of the main body, instead of having those big Batman ears.
That is an older pic, I cut the Batman ears off with a Dremmel and sanded them down to look very similar to the Dbrand ones but not quite as fitted a look. I like the Dbrand ones but I don't want to pay nearly £100 for some plates.
Here's a quick pic of it now...
Wow that looks great! I wouldn’t buy them either in your case.
That looks dope! I may give that a try with mine sometime. Had never considered how much better it would look til I saw this.
Make sure you've got some super fine sandpaper to hand when you do, it gives it a nice smooth finish and almost looks like OEM. To get the right curve I just laid a pencil on top of the center part and traced the curve from that, worked out OK.
with how tall and wide the ps5 is its probably not doable on most 3d printers. but there are commercial services that might print it for you.
That was the idea, I don't have a printer but I'd pay to have it done, I'm not particularly handy so I wouldn't have much confidence in building something myself what with it needing to be very accurate to line up all the ports
I'm sure you could make one. Take an existing shell, measure the mounting holes, port hikes, etc., model those, then design your own aesthetic on top of that.
I was going to cheat a bit and just take the inside black shell and somehow squeeze it in to a small floating shelf drawer I have but I don't have the tools I'd need to make a good job of making holes for the ports and I'm not sure how well the Bluetooth would work if it was completely covered like that (I'm sure it would be fine) and airflow would be taken care of by a tiny Noctua fan I have knocking around.
Your best bet would be to hope sony releases a new and better-looking ps5 slim somewhere down the road
They should have just stuck with a more traditional design, I like the Xbox S, hell even the X is better with its refrigerator design lol
My PS5 sits behind my 65" television. The only time I see it is when I'm slotting or removing a disc.
Actually, that's a lie, I saw it when I installed my new WD_Black 2TB ssd.
