A lot of 3D printable cases out there at the moment, some good some crappy.

Maybe it's the picture but the build quality on that one Steve looks a bit poor. Some of it looks like it's made from plasticine?!
Is the end product of a 3D print hard plastic or does it depend on the raw materials? Curious how durable it would be. I've not been keeping up to date with all that lark.

Thats not my print, its one from the guy who designed the model. It's a decent case, just his printer is sh1t (and he used cheapo plastic)
There are so many types of material now to print with its crazy. I'm just testing out a few new one's this evening myself, Steel based (plastic and steel powder mix), Cork (cork wood and plastic), and a new flexi strong material.
There's a lot happening at the moment in 3D printing, way too much to bore everyone with on this forum anyway
Edit:
And not forgetting my current fav material, coffee based plastic. It smells like caramel coffee when printing and is made from coffee waste material.0 -

Cool. And does it use a laser or something to fuse/solidify the material together?
Some printers user lasers to solidify resin in a tank, but most melt the plastic and extrude it in layers.
Few links to my rarely updated 3d printing site that might show how it works

There's been work by individuals on what seemed 'not possible', just a few months ago, thanks to a rather dubious and infamous Kickstarter campaign.
Printing using daylight resins , a LED light and a Raspberry Pi. Ionel Ciobanuc's work in particular is head melting.

More than ever, I want to cludge together a retro system inside a NES cartridge, using a Pi Zero.. after the cost of the NES Mini, extending leads, extra controller, that's close to, if not, the guts of a hundred euro, which I don't think is good value, as good and dinky as it looks..0 -

Ah gotcha, it should be fine to throw on the bottom there. The ##'s are just comments in the file, they don't affect the functionality

Super, I thought I may have been missing something else.
I am replacing sda1 with sda2 throughout which I assume is right (sda2 in my NTFS HDD)The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

I had a question about 8bitdo controllers, maybe someone could point me in the correct direction. I have 3, one is the arcade stick that I want to use with Neo-Geo games. How in the mother of god do I connect it correctly to retropie via Bluetooth? Its driving me nuts. I've had the same problem with the fc30 pro and the original nes controller with retropie. They work fine on PC. I've watched EVERYTHING on YouTube and read everything online but nothing sticks. ETA Prime helped a little bit to be fair.
Anyone any advice? Thanks 0 -

From memory this is what I done based on very recent RetroPie install.
1. Get the PI online, either wifi or wired
2. Run the retropie-setup script, select configure bluetooth
3. Watch the console carefully, if it downloads and installs new packages then reboot and start again
4. "Register and Connect to Bluetooth device"
It should list the available devices here, select your one and follow the prompts
5. "Display registered...."
If 8Bitdo is not listed then registered failed. Power cycle the controller and try to register it again. I turn on the controller in 'mode 1' i.e. pressing 'Start' only.
6. "udev rules for 8Bitdo" option and reboot
7. Start 'Emulationstation' and follow onscreen prompts to configure the new controller
At this point the controller should be working fine for emulation station. But this is where is gets messy - the emulationstation and retroarch configs are complete different...
All the connected joysticks are devices listed under /dev/input, so you should have at least /dev/input/js0
If you run the command "jstest /dev/input/js0 --event" (if jstest is not installed then run, sudo apt-get install joystick)
This will show something like this
With each button press make a note the corresponding number reported (Button X on the controller may be 4 for instance). Now armed with the list of buttons go and edit the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/8Bitdo....cfg file
Replace the numbers in this file with your preferred ones for each button and it should work now. I think there is script to do this but don't know the name of it..
Starting the 8Bitdo arcade stick by just press home should bring it up as a joystick not a keyboard according to their manual.0
