Gameboy Cartridge by ShiroiYami

Last crawled date: 5 years ago

I found a copy of Pokemon Blue my friend lent me that looks like a dog bit into it. The game still worked but inserting the cartridge into the Gameboy made crunchy noises. I checked on Thingiverse and found https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:13605 by powertomato. I printed it, but when I was sanding down some of the parts, the tabs broke. Also I felt the top shell was too thin. I then found https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:107841 by DomesticHacks, but it didn't have a mounting hole and was missing some of the grips on the side of the cartridge.
So I pulled out my calipers and measured up some cartridges I had, 3D modeled and printed a replacement case.
I have a few versions of the file.
Bottom:
gameboy-cart-bottom-v2.stl
Top (variations depending on detail required):
gameboy-cart-top-v2.stl - Flat top with no grips or indents (easiest to print)
gameboy-cart-top-v3-logo.stl - label indent and grips with my logo
gameboy-cart-top-v3-nologo.stl - label indent and grips without my logo
gameboy-cart-top-v3-nologo-topindent.stl - grip, indent, label and arrow without logo (most detailed)
For the top prints, you may need to flip it over and print with support to get the detail to print.
