New printed parts arrived today (duo door and everdrive case) update 1-7-15

[jelloslug]

The Everdrive covers are now available:

https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=18326.0

I had a new batch of stuff I had printed arrive today.  Lets start with the Everdrive case:






It will need a little tweaking as some of the wording that I added to the case is just too fine for the printing method that I used.  I could print it with a much finer method but the price starts the get really high for what it is.  The Reset button does function and you can get the SD card out without removing the cover.  It also fits the Turboexpress with no problems.

[jelloslug]

Next up is the replacement Duo card door:






This one came out nice.  There are a few errors on it but I already knew about it but did not have time to send in the revised model before it was printed.  All I have to do now is try an match the gray color on the original part.

[jelloslug]

I also reprinted the Turboexpress battery door to fix an error on the first print.  It fits much better now but will need just a little more tweaking for my tastes.

[johnnymad]

Are these for sale yet or is this just a test run?

[mrhaboobi]

crazy impressive.. probably keen on the every drive case

Is there access to the TG-16/PCE switch?

[jelloslug]

Is there access to the TG-16/PCE switch?

Yep.  I had designed in a switch cover in the case to make it a little easier to use but I ran into the detail problem with the lettering.  As is there is an opening on the side that you can access the switch

[jelloslug]

Are these for sale yet or is this just a test run?

Which part?  All of them are close to being finished.  I will probably do one more test run of each part to finalize the design.  The biggest hurtle is going to be matching the gray color on the DUO door and the Turboexpress door.

Now that I look closer, damn glasses, I see you marked it...doh

I'd be up for the Everdrive cover at least and maybe the DUO door and TE battery cover.

[FiftyQuid]

Super sweet!  Subscribing to this thread.

[CPTRAVE]

Are you kidding, those are awesome.

[jelloslug]

I have a DUO-R door in my hands right now and I'm making a model of it to have printed also.  I will make the necessary changes to all the parts that I just had printed this weekend and have (hopefully) the last run of prototypes of those parts on order.

[NightWolve]

Awesome work, I might be interested in the Everdrive cover when you've finalized the work. These 3D printers are something else, it was only very recently that I saw one in action at a computer store I frequent and couldn't believe what I was seeing!

[Ayce]

Very nice! I need to get myself one of those now.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

More awesome goodies!  How is the everdrive cover attached?

[seieienbu]

That everdrive case is some handsome work.

[johnnymad]

More awesome goodies!  How is the everdrive cover attached?

This. Is it glued on or pressure fitted?

[jelloslug]

That one is pressure fitted but in reality it should be glued.

[DeshDildo]

This is pure awesomeness!  I will definitely be purchasing an Everdrive cover when they become available and I don't even own an ever drive yet.

[munchiaz]

that everdrive cover is so awesome

[DragonmasterDan]

Fantastic stuff! keep us updated on how these come along.

[owlnonymous]

Nice work! I'm in for a TED cover. I like how your design has indicia, and a reset button integrated into the case.

[420GOAT]

very cool.

[bonoedgey]

I would definitely be interested in an Everdrive cover   Terrific Job.. Looks great

[Cyborc]

3D printing blows my mind. Would it be possible to eventually 3d print entire console shells? For example if our consoles are cracked or yellowed, or we want to paint them a different color but don't want to mess up the original shell.

Yep, already possible...the future is here now.

I'd love an everdrive cover eventually, nice work

[elderbroom]

Would certainly pickup up a TED cover .. even though I just ordered another design.  Would like to compare and have both in hand. Plus I suspect I might order a second TED shortly.  Been too lazy to move mine between TG-16 in living room, and PCE Duo-R in gaming room. (1st world problem).  Anyway very cool .. 3D printers are such interesting new tech.

[Groover]

These are awesome. Keep us posted.

[Ayce]

Got word that my Everdrive will be on it's way, so I too am interested in getting a case for it when you decided to do it.

[Nando]

How cool. Did you use CAD to design it?

[johnnymad]

I continue to be amazed at what can be produced with a 3D printer. Sometimes I feel like we're in the future. Where's my hover board?

Look up Danny Choo and his Mirai android doll.


I want a 3d printer to print Obey toys. ships and enemies and main characters, oh My!

will you be mass producing the TED cover and sell them? thanks

[jelloslug]

As soon as I have the last little design changes made for the DUO door, the Everdrive case, and the Turboexpress battery door I will be selling them.  Unlike the card case shell these parts are small enough that 3D printing is cheap enough to mass produce them.

[NightWolve]

I would like to get one in black, but I'll understand if you're only buying one kind of white plastic.

Here's a comparison shot of the "Deluxe" Stone Age Gamer version, complete with gold "screw yous":

[johnnymad]

You can paint it with black vinyl dye. It bonds to the plastic.

[jelloslug]

My finished parts will be dyed black, or not if you want a bare one.

[NightWolve]

Oh, very cool jello.

Any idea what you wanna charge for 'em yet ?

[reson8er]

Nice work!    I would love to buy one if you make them available.

[jelloslug]

Oh, very cool jello.

I have not set a price yet but I want to keep it under $30

[CrackTiger]

Does the Turbo Everdrive shell fit the USB adapter model?

[jelloslug]

Does the Turbo Everdrive shell fit the USB adapter model?

No, but I could make a version that does.

[bonoedgey]

they look great jelloslug.. can't wait to be able to get one.. definitely interested. 

[jelloslug]

I have ordered what I hope is the last prototype for all three of these pieces.  There will be an update as soon as those come in.

[Ayce]

Excellent, hope all goes well.

[esteban]

Excellent, amazing, fantastic work. 

[wyndcrosser]

Definitely interested in a new door. Wonderful work.

[jelloslug]

Here are the latest prints:




This is after dying them.  The color is close but I don't think it's perfect.  Next step for the DUO door is to get it on a DUO to check the fit.  The Turboexpress battery door fit really well, the only thing I would like to do is get the color match closer.  I also have another prototype of the Everdrive cover that I'm dying right now.

[elderbroom]

Very cool. Thanks for keeping us posted.
