RetroCade Professional Case

[wildseyed 0]

It sounds like you may have selected a process or material that shapeways has trouble with. The design features are driven by what I have found to be good solutions that avoid printing defects on hobby grade printers, when printing large flat hollow boxes.

If you like, I will put one up on eBay for you.

Any news on having a case available? I tried to submit the STL to many online 3D printing shops and tried out different materials, but they all refused printing because the walls were too thin and it did not fit their requirements, so now I am still stuck without a case. If anyone can put up a reasonable priced case for sale and delivery to Germany or tell me where I can print it myself, I would be very happy!

There is an acrylic case available in the store now, they are a little easier to get manufactured.

Fantastic!, will there be an similar case for the Papilio 500?, or will it already fit? (Didn't check.. #lazyweb)

 

Wonder if it would be possible to get this for the Pipistrello..

Os1r1s is working on a case for the Papilio One 500K and for the MegaWings too.

Hi Toby,

 

I was offering in my previous post to put one up on eBay for you, but you did not respond, so I did not follow up.  If you want me to proceed, I will put one up for you, and anyone else interested.  Cost will be $20 U.S.D. + Shipping

 

The material and color will be whatever I happen to have on hand.  If you want a particular color/material, I will accept a 1kg spool of 3mm filament (Drop-Shipped) as payment, and waive the shipping cost.  There is an eBay vendor that I use http://www.ebay.com/usr/rainbot3d with good quality plastics.  If you want to go this route, I will provide the mailing address where you can send the spool.

Hi wildseyed,

I immediately replied to your message back in November as a private message on this board, maybe you have not seen it yet?

Anyway, depending on the shipping cost, I might be interested (color of the case does not matter to me). Can you evaluate how much it would cost to send it to me in Germany?

Thanks,

Toby

@wildseyed: Ok, so if total cost incl. shipping is around $32 as you wrote, I am interested! Please tell me how to arrange it (best by sending me a PM on this board).

Thanks,

Toby

You guys mention a lot of substantive issues about the case, but I think style is also important. It should have a subtle homage to the C64 or the Nintendo. Like two tones of grey and white plastic with little vents. Will give it quite a bit more commercial appeal. Maybe source the parts from old dysfunctional C64s.
