Wii portable case work in progress.

Case modeled in AutoCad and will be 3d printed in the near future more to come

If you're printing this instead of CNCing it from a preexisting case, don't use that awful ABXY button layout. Give yourself some extra room and proper button orientation.

Also, if you're 3D printing this, add some detail to it. Hopefully this doesn't sound rude, but with a 3D printed case you can do essentially anything you desire. No need to handcuff yourself into "just" a plain box, unless that's what you want. You do you, just a suggestion.

you definitely have a point there. I'll do another rendering with better button placement and add a little more room.

Yeah I plan to add more detail after I do the basic design of case.

Classy Nintendo logo. Is that case built for mono audio?

The portable will have stereo sound just having a hard time deciding where the second speaker will go.

Could do something like this:

I like it. How big is your screen?

Gonna guess 3.5" or 4", based on proportions

Could do something like this:

The front of the case is now complete time to give it a test print.

You might want to move the speaker holes. When you hold the portable part of your palm will cover them if they are in that position. Moving them closers in would be your best bet.

i think would be more confortable to have a more rounded case (without the 90 degrees edges)

Yeah i thought that might be a problem but after the test print my hands did not cover the speaker holes so I am happy with their placement.

The case will definitely need to be rounded out thinking something like this.
