Sega Genesis/Mega Drive EA Cartridge Tab Replacement

thingiverse

This is a replacement tab for EA branded Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games. Two STLs are included, one that is blank where the ECA emboss is normally found, and one with a Mega Drive logo emboss. I had designed this to use with some personal cartridge reproductions that required me to use an EA cartridge, but I didn't want the ECA logo sticking around. This should be printed vertically (as seen in the attached photo) for two reasons - first, it will make the tab much stronger in proportion to the bending force required if it is needed to be removed from a cart, and second, the embossed logo comes out looking much nicer. It can be printed either straight up or at a 5° angle, setting the 5° miter on either end in parallel with the face of the bed. If printed at an angle, the logo will have some aliasing, but the tab will require no supports. If printed straight up, supports will be required, but the logo will be free of aliasing. Supports should be used either way for the four clips.
