dbfrese Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Interested in giving your Ninebot One a makeover? Here's a video I produced with some instructions on how to apply a wrap to your 9bot1. Amazon link for Vinyl: http://amzn.to/1Ux6AKU (a 5 foot by 24 inches roll would be sufficient) Amazon link for Heat Gun: http://amzn.to/1nMjHLf
SlowMo Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Good idea on making the template. When I did mine, I just applied the vinyl wrap directly.
SuperSport Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Good job, and good tips. I owned and operated a sign shop for 16 years where we lettered and applied graphics to vehicles daily. I have to admit, the NineBot was one of the hardest jobs I've done. You need a lot of patience and a second pair of hands is helpful to run the heat gun/hair dryer. But, when done, it's so worth it.
dbfrese Posted March 16, 2016 Author Posted March 16, 2016 @SuperSport, How durable do you find the wrap? How do you keep it looking good?
SuperSport Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 @dbfrese The vinyl does have a couple very small dings on it already from riding in the trunk of my car. Other than that, I really try to never drop it. I'm sure the vinyl will scrape easily if it takes a good fall, but since it's carbon fiber design, it should patch/blend easily and not show. I've never had a real crash where it tumbled, but I have laid it on it's side a few times when stopped or when doing a 180 turn, but it was basically stopped. When my legs are tired after a 15+ mile ride, I have a tendency to let it fall at stop lights. 3-4 times now, but not yet with the wrap on it. Since the wrap and painting the pads black, I've only got about 30-40 miles on it.
Ebrium Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Does any one have the template on PDF or took a picture of the template when it was finished? if you do, and could share, I can try to put the template on a scale of 1:1 and share the pdf here for others to use.

It shows how to create your own template.
Ebrium Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Yes I've seen your movie and congratulations, it's great. Although I was wondering if someone actually have a template so I could run it in the plotter and cut the vinyl easier. Get it?
