Thats very similar to the ones I had in mind for the test prints, looks good though. Does the lid already sort of hinge itself?

Between this and the Battery Holder you may need to keep my address on file..........in a filing cabinet.

:pac:

The lid just clicks in place. I had to do a little work to get it working nicely though. I used a little rubber glue to extend and cushion the clips.

Yeah these battery boxes are very popular, few people have asked for them. I printed the AAA one the other day and it stacks nicely on top of the other. Very nice and simple design that just works well
Printed a nice USB/SD card holder as well, but i think i prefer just dumping my spare USB sticks and SD cards loose in a box instead.

Those battery boxes just got even better....stackable.....genius. I'm sure your printing off loads of stuff at the mom, but definitely put me down for a few of those if you start printing them and the NES style PI case as well, fully reimbursed of course. Ya i'd be the same with USB keys and cards, just seems easier in a small container. The holders are cool though, just not sure I'd be as patient enough for them :P

Seen a few of these printed out, so thought I'd give it a go

Steve X2

Slowly working my way through all my favourite sci-fi movies and shows and printing something from each.




And of course you gotta have some Yoshi

Oh man that SGC logo.. Drool....

I know! :cool:

That Yoshi is one of the scariest things I've seen in a while. I'd leave the supports on...

Had a go at printing Majoras Mask last night. It came out ok, but i think I'd need to print it full size and properly painted it to look anything other than "ok".

I really need to start learning how to paint these :0/

Resistance is really becoming futile...A Majoras's Mask & the Star Gate thingy would go nicely on a shelf somewhere here...

I'll eventually get around to offering a proper print service. I'll stick an ad in the marketplace for retro related things, and probably something external for non retro stuff.

Next big print will be a Lightsaber, but i really will need to paint this one for it to look good.

Yeah, the trick with the salt is pretty cool.

Steve X2

Having a go at printing the Obi-Wan Kenobi Lightsaber from Star Wars: A New Hope.
About 80 percent printed now and its looking ok. Still need to sand it and do something about painting, but so far I'm very happy with it. There's room internally for a lighting systems should i want it in the future.








I wont be able to to it as nice as the properly prop replica below, but I'll get some colour on it eventually. Might skip the aged effect and paint it as it would have been new(much easier me thinks).

Steve X2

Printed a mini Macintosh to go with the PET. Just need to add the apple logo, but it looks bad on regular photo paper. Will wait until i have some transparent print stuff.

Thanks again for the Zelda Game and Watch battery cover! Arrived this morning.





(I'm using the reverse of that meme in that it actually did fit like a glove :P)

Cool, glad it arrived.

Yeah the leaf green plastic seems not too far off the original. I wonder is there an easy way to darken it without painting?

Is there a file/model of the Destiny from Stargate Universe I wonder?

Someone designed and printed it. But I don't think they shared the files

Myrddin

Aw man....I'd love something like that

Steve X2

In fairness it looks like he designed(or i supposed copied and designed from the show) and printed them and is selling them. So why would he share for free :0)

Some price on some of them though :0/

€1k for the big model...bleugh

It looks good, but if you look at it closely it's actually not that detailed on the small things. Mad money for it, I wonder does he sell many.

I thought the same, the close up pics aren't that impressive. The dimensions etc look absolutely perfect, but the detailing isn't great for the money.

My clips arrived today along with 2 little goodies sent by Steve.




Here's a close up of the little dudes!




Huge thanks again to the generosity of Steve, he's a real asset to the A&R community!

I think that pink clip may have been revenge for the comments I made about his iCade's colour scheme though....

Steve X2

Some guy/gal on thingiverse designed a nice and simple dock/stand for the Game Boy. Did one for the Color, Pocket and Original Game Boy.
Pretty nice and very stable if printed heavy. Might pick a more suitable colour for the next one

Just stumbled across this now, looks awesome chief!

If you ever get the files to print these out, name your price and I'll pay it!

They look pretty easy to print apart from a few overhangs. You'd need to paint them though. There are a few similar models knocking around, but not quite as nice as those ones.
Those actually look like the were 3D printed on a laser sintering or similar professional printer(shapeways maybe).
