Print in place - Game & Watch protective case (Improves sound too)

cults3d

Recently I managed to pick up one of the Game & Watch Super Mario Bros. units the other day but I had some issues..... So 3D Printing to the rescue! My objectives were simple: I wanted to keep the screen safe in my pocket from other sharp things that might scratch or damage. I wanted to have the sound point towards me rather than off to the side since the unit has no headphone jack. I wanted a case I could still charge the unit while it was still inside. I wanted a case that had similar angles to the actual unit as well to keep a similar aesthetic while being super easy to print in a single go. Lastly I wanted to have the ability to play it from within the case while keeping it from moving around. After a few test prints and design changes I present to you my solution which I now use on a daily basis and maybe you will too. ( I went with an easier slope on the bottom half and not a 45 to guarantee a smoother finish on the lower half.) To remove the unit simply pull the right side towards you and it will pop out easily, the fit feels great and it shouldn't move around at all when playing the game or come out of the case unexpectedly; this took a few test prints to get just right. The Zelda case has the same dimensions so it should work perfect for that unit as well. Also big thanks to those who download, knowing you guys are going to enjoy this as much as I do for my custom builds gives me the drive to make more stuff.
