The 72 PRO - The 3D Printed NES 72 Pin Replacement

thingiverse

The 72 PRO was designed to replace the default NES caddy and is intended to make the NES game insertion experience more enjoyable as many OEM connectors require maintenance as they get bent and corrode with age. In a bid to make this more affordable I have made the STL available if you wish to print your own or you have a mate with a 3D Printer. I print my units with an Anycubic i3 Mega with PLA on 30% Infill - No Supports (or you won't be able to put your bolts through). These settings are plenty strong for my purposes. Takes 5.5hrs. Whatever settings or material you choose please make sure it is strong enough to do the job. 20/6/2019: I've decided that the STL included will go from a draft to a final design. (Hence the removal of the work in progress). I am still currently designing and testing the PCB. 6/6/2019: A small production run is getting planned after testing.
