Reworked MSX cartridge case for non-Konami boards

thingiverse

This is the seriously reworked model of the MSX cartridge case for non-Konami cartridge boards. It fits the boards produced by RBSC as well as the boards from other projects (Wozblaster, etc.). The cases come in 2 different flavors - with the original thickness (2.5mm) and the reduced thickness (1.8mm) for less expensive printing. I am also providing the model of the case without the label's placeholder. This allows to print the halves of the case with their inner sides facing upwards. Such printing makes the outer surfaces look way better. The "Noholes" variant is also included for the models without the label. The new cases have special clips that allow both parts to click into each other and to hold together without the screws. The new cases need specific screws that could be bought in China for less that 2$ for a hundred: M2.3 x 8mm or 10mm: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32867453400.html The screw holders have been reinforced to prevent them breaking off when supports are removed. The geometry around the horizontal hole has been fixed. The case parts have 1mm groove between them - this is needed to open them easily by gently pulling the case halves apart. The board is no longer secured by the screws - there are special ledges around the screw holes that the board sits on (see the picture). These ledges are inserted into the holes of second half of the case when 2 halves are joined together. This allows the board to be secured inside the cartridge case even without the screws.
