Title: Reproduction TurboExpress/PC Engine GT battery door
Post by: jelloslug on July 23, 2014, 07:58:48 AM: Here is my latest 3D printed part:

It has some very minor fitment issues that I will fix on the next print but other than that I am pleased with the outcome.

Post by: elderbroom on July 23, 2014, 01:57:34 PM: Very very cool.

Any chance you could make a cover that could go over top a raw Turbo Everdrive card ? And have raised TG-16 Logo, or Bonk or similar. Might need to use two way tape to attach it, or clip to the outer edge of the card (I'm no engineer). But somewhat of a dust shield, or protector for those of us that bought the exposed chipset version. Seems StoneAgeGamer is selling them with a small piece of plexi over it. But something 3D printed with a logo, character raised would be awesome .. and something I would most certainly have to purchase.

3D printers are still magic despite me watching videos on how they actually work. MAGIC !

I have been working on something like that. I just need to take my everdrive in and accurately measure the holes in it.

Sweet. I'll hold off on buying anything until I hear from you.

Post by: BlueBMW on July 24, 2014, 02:23:37 AM: Solidworks is an awesome program. I used it for a few years when I did plastic injection molding. I was pretty novice at it and even I could make some cool models with it.

Next up, Duo door.

I don't need either, but they have come up *a lot* over the years.

Post by: RTQ on July 28, 2014, 06:34:56 PM: This is awesome. I have the problem of repeatedly taking battery doors off of stuff. Good to know there is a possible replacement if I ever wear the express's out.
