My latest little project (new CD-rom case latches)

[jelloslug]

If you look at most TG-16 CD-rom setups that have the case the one thing that sticks out is that most of them are missing one or both of the latches.  It's not a terribly complex part so I modeled it and had a pair made.  I still need to dye them but they function just fine.





I can have a batch of them made to sell if there is any interest.

Awesome!

[syphic]

Wow that is great! Id be interested!

Neato.  Are they 3D printed or what?

Yep.  They are small enough that 3D printing is a feasible method to produce them (unlike the game cases).

This is amazing! And I would definitely be interested too!

That is very neat, mister!

Shapeways, I presume.
Send me your stl (or a link to it) and I'll send you mine for the game trays
(Assuming its ok with arkhan.)

That's awesome!! Can you do something similar with the turbo express green power switch and battery cover?

Yep.

Cool, put me down for a TE battery cover.  I'm sure there are others who need battery cover and the green power switch.

Very nice.  Is that setup 2 pieces (ie, door and tray) or 3 (door, backplate, and inner tray)?
I could never get the holes for the door pins quite right :/

Looks like it's time for you to open a shapeways shop

It's exactly like the standard Turbografx style case.  The only problem with using Shapeways for the case is that they are about $110 each.
