That texture is from a print??? O_o

As a fellow dad, please tell me how you accomplished this.

Is it weird that the thing that boggles my mind the most is the perpendicularly-mounded volume wheel?

lovablechevy (not a BitBuilt member) once was working on a mod to consolize a PSP. She basically took a 3000 model, connected it to a TV using an OEM component cable, and was working on connecting a controller using (I think) a micro HDMI connector. Afaik she never finished the project, but it...

Dang it. As much as I love the winged section, it's making this portable WAY too bulky. I originally designed it because I wanted the portable to be somewhat narrow, so I put the batteries in the wings. But on my latest revision I made the whole unit 6 mm thicker (small but noticeable) and 20 mm...

Already you got experience in sketching, extruding, and using the fillet tool. You're off to a good start!

Don't be so quick to give up on Fusion. I dove in and bought a 3D printer without having any prior experience in 3D modeling. I started just like you, downloading Fusion and getting my feet wet. Now here I am printing out a test of what I hope will be my final revision for my N64 case. (I'd...

Generally speaking, when connecting voltage lines (between system/batteries/charging jack) you need thicker wire. I don't know the recommended gauge off the top of my head, but something super thin like magnet wire won't cut it. Speaker wire would work, but seems a bit overkill. For data lines...

There's a lot of good information on N64s in this subforum. I recommend looking through the posts here and then after you have a better idea of what's involved, you can come back with more specific questions.

At this point, I guess pretty much. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Got another print of my own design: display cases for Gameboy and Gamegear cartridges. I didn't care for the GB display cases I found on Thingiverse because they tend to lean toward a "stadium seating" design with the labels facing outward. While...

Yes, should work fine with a composite input. However, to get the most out of that screen, you could connect to the VGA port using Aurelio’s VGA patch.

That’s a very safe trim, but I fully support your decision to do the slot relocation so you can test functionality at every step. Find some junk electronics and just practice soldering wires to it. You’ll find what does and doesn’t work well. Also, and I realize this is a HUGE rabbit hole, get...

Although it still needs a lot of tweaks, I decided to go ahead with a test print. I had a tiny artifact sticking out of the "wings" as I like to call this back piece. That's why it decided to print a layer of support under the entire thing. It turned out far from perfect, but I'm very...

Your workspace is so uncluttered that those pics are giving off a sense of serenity. This is looking great!

Not to mention it probably saves a few millimeters of space inside the case. I love watching all this custom stuff come together!

It's possible and not too terribly difficult to add multi color designs to cases or other 3D prints. This guide shows how this is done using Fusion 360 and Cura, but other modeling and slicing programs should have similar enough features to allow this. Special thanks to @nobble for getting me...

Hi Peter/Piotr! I wouldn't worry about your English. From this post alone you appear to have pretty good written English. Besides, some of the non-native speakers on here have better written English than some of the native speakers!

Excellent work on both the internals and externals! Those wire arches are a great idea!

If only. But I decided I didn't want to engineer that much and then figure out a way to actually get it to print. There's a little notch on the back of the "button" that helps hold the top in place and that's it. I'm pretty pleased with the way the hinge turned out though.

MORE PRINTS I found a Pokeball SD card holder on Thingiverse and got really excited to have a cool, somewhat practical desk decoration. Unfortunately, it was severely lacking in its features. For one, it's kind of bland. But most notably, the two halves don't close together. It's literally...
