Pac-Man Atari 2600 Cartridge Cleaning Tool

thingiverse

If you're a vintage game lover and have some Atari 2600 cartridges laying around, chances are they're going to need a cleaning. This little guy assists with de-pressing the dust cover on some 2600 game cartridges, exposing the contacts for easy cleaning access. You could use a knife, but that's not as cute. The body and swing arm should be printed at 0.1mm, while the pin is best printed horizontal for strength at 0.04mm. Tolerances are very tight, and I tapped in the pin with a small mallet, and snapped the left and right side together between my hands. Sanding the edges of the swing arm, and the space at the corner of the mouth will help with arm movement if it's sticking on first assembly.
