Hey Everyone!
I have been following the Ashida portable project since it was announced and was elated once it dropped. Now that the wait is over, it's that time again to get portablizing! Join me in my build as I mentally kick myself to the finish line.
I want to go for a complete OEM feel, this means no 3D printed shell. I settled on SLA #8100 Translucent w/ #1000 grit sanding and OEM controller internals.
T3 Stick boxes baby! (I sourced some metal L&R retainers from a non-functioning wavebird, since the new super smash controllers do not include them)
Note: Controllers WERE harmed in the making of this (RIP)
Genuine OEM on the Left, Aftermarket on the Right (P.S. Never buy aftermarket stick boxes)
It was a successful transplant doctor^
Case came in from PCBway and it feels amazing, However, it's really scratched even using #1000 grit sandpaper. I might try to sand blast it with walnuts (thanks for the suggestion, Gman)
I made some modifications to the L&R button mounts to make it so I don't need to 3D print new ones. There are some very minor clearance issues for either side (depending on the screws your use and to accommodate the Left 'Z' button, as this is not present on the stock gamecube)
Started wiring up the battery terminals. I've learned from previous experience that its much nicer to not have the 2 battery wires share the pads where the B- and B+ terminate. It's a bit tricky, but as with anything, it just takes patience.
Wesk just graced us with a stand to display our Ashida! However, My prusa Mini+ isnt quite big enough for the job. Had to split the job in half. The perfectionist in me says this is only a temporary solution...
VRROOOOM, the fan spins and the USB to SD card adapter is recognized when plugged into my comp. (Make sure your USB-C wire is good, i've had a bad Anker from the factory) This is just a mock photo, still have a long, long journey ahead of us. Before I go any further, I wanted to thank Wesk, Gman, Aurelio and Shank for their countless contributions to the community (you guys rock). Till next time...
