Working on a little something. Wanted to do this for 2 years now. Using #bricscad coz nothing else felt right or worked (I'm on #linux). Last time I made something in 3D was over 24 years ago and we used #maya, #3dstudio and SolidWorks. Also had to use #autocad, so BricsCAD feels most familiar.
Dropping by my friend's place to pick this up and two more prints. Let's see how things fit. Here's a hint: #n64 #nintendo64
Need to adjust the sizing a teeny little bit for the 3.5mm jack and USB-C ports. Got the sizing of the opening for the UTP port totally wrong.
The quest continues... #n64
3 hours later.... Really need to rethink how to design for 3D printing...
Well, everything fits now. Stilll don't know if the 3D model ismok or not as I have had to trim so much from the print... Next Post will be one where you can see it connected to the "N64"... #n64 #nintendo #retrogaming
And here it is. It is an AV plug for the iQue. 3.5mm jack can be used to connect a composite cable to, USB-C is for power (5V) and the RJ45 socket can be used to add extra controllers for multiplater and s-video. #ique #nintendo #n64
Cut the XBOX av connector to size to test fit as well. After that it is back to the drawing board to make changes. The whole thing is a bit on the big side and it looks like I can make it a bit shorter. Oh and also made a mistake and the RJ45 socket is not centered. #n64 #ique
Fits, kind of. Will need to reduce the height of the hole of the connector a little. Plenty of space on the inside, so I can reduce the length overall as well. #n64 #ique
Friend managed to print the adjusted model, just in time before he goes on vacation tomorrow. Shortened on both ends and also printed in a different orientation so hopefully it will be a lot less work to remove the supports. #n64 #ique
The shortened version still has enough room for everything inside, so that's good. But the opening for the usb-c connector is not big enough and the RJ45 hole too. Everything else fits fine.
After widening the two openings that were not big enough, all connectors now fit. The shorter length is much better. #n64 #ique
