Daemonbite SNES Super Famicom Case by cactusfriend

Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

Case for Daemonbite SNES/Super Famicom controller port, which lets you use any SNES controller as a USB gamepad on PC, MiSTer, Raspberry Pi, etc.

This is a pretty small, utilitarian design - basically I just wanted something that'd hold the pro micro and the controller port in place so that the solder joints wouldn't get stressed. It ended up being a pretty small case, with a little window for the activity/input LED, but also needed a window for the tallest components on the pro micro - the tantalum capacitors. Luckily, since that window is fairly close to the power LED, you can also quickly see when it's plugged-in. It uses a snap-fit closure, so there's no need for any other fasteners - just print it, carefully place the components inside, and snap it closed!
Notes: This is marked as a WIP design as I'll be totally redesigning based upon the measurements I figured out from this one. Please take a look at the pictures to see if your SNES controller port is similar to the one I used - there are differing ones out there. Also, this is a very small case; you'll want to make sure that you use very short or thin wires.
