Model Wii2GC Power Plug

[Wesk]

If you're anything like me you probably have 50 Wii power bricks laying around and zero GC power bricks. So I designed a 3D printable plug that can be used to convert the Wii brick for use with a Gamecube.

Just insert the prongs with the correct polarity (12v on the curved side) and use hot glue or something to seal it shut.

Provided are the STEP and STL files.

thanks its great work

ist possible to adapt the wii console male jack into the other side so we don't have to destroy a wii power jack. it will be like an adapter/converter from wii to gc plug

It's possible but not in the scope of this project. Feel free to use my files to adapt your own design though.

You can, but you need to take into account that the pinouts of the Wii and Gamecube sockets are inverted. On the Gamecube the positive pin is on the rounded side and the negative pin is on the squared side, whereas on the Wii the positive pin is on the squared side and the negative pin is on the notched side. To make a Wii plug fit into a Gamecube socket you'd have to file down the square side of the Wii plug until it fits into the Gamecube socket. You may also have to file down the other sides a little bit to get it to fit as the overall dimensions of the power plugs are a bit different between the GC and Wii.

so i'm not expert in 3d printing stuff and this what i came with hope its useful.

wii male can fit both side so be careful when installing
wii male connector is long to connect to gc pins with no wires needed just a small soldering is required

for me i printed using PrusaSlicer 2.7.1 @104% of original @Wesk files to get it to my like

i might add a small led to the top cover so i know when is powered on

wii jack just chose the long pins
