3. Analysis of key points of transformation technology
1.Strengthened skeleton: Recently, many forum tutorials have emphasized the use of metal skeletons or ABS plates to reinforce joints to solve the problem of insufficient load-bearing of original plastic joints.
2.color scheme: Big data shows that matte military green (accounting for 35%), desert yellow (28%) and special red (22%) are the most popular colors recently.
3.Lighting modification: About 42% of renovation works will be equipped with LED light sets, among which the dynamic lighting effect of one-eyed monitors is the most discussed.
