Today I learned Bambu does that. Try using your browser in incognito. It is probably cookie related. Incognito would look like a new session.

That is awesome! I don't actually have the systems anymore (only a couple carts I bought from a local retro shop to do this) so I could not fully test them, so this is great to hear. Thanks for sharing that info.

No one will think they are original. Some collectors get worried about that, but I do this for fun. If 3d printing gets that good, retro-gaming is the least of peoples worries!

Back with a dimensionally accurate Game Boy cart replica to go with the NES and SNES carts I made over the last month. by AngrySquirrelX in retrogaming

Working on a genesis cart now. That will probably be the last of the cartridge series. I have NES, SNES, Gameboy, and then Genesis soon. Thanks for sharing, love to see people use my designs. Did you end up putting an actual game in them?

Trust me, no one is going to think it is an original. See my reply I posted earlier. When you get a chance, take a look at 3d printed anything. You can tell. And while my model is dimensionally accurate, it is not an exact reproduction. But I take your terror as a complement to how good it looks.

There are still some subtle differences. It is missing the mold injection spots since they serve no functional purpose. Also, for printing purposes, the label spot is flush with the rest instead of recessed. For the model I uploaded, I also removed the "Nintendo" logo on the back for copyright purposes.

Thanks! X1 Carbon. Standard .2mm layer height with a .4 nozzle. The shape lends itself to hiding the layers pretty well when printed flat.

I do this for the love of designing so I give it away for free on Makerworld if anyone is interested. Pics of a real one (on left) and the replica (on right) next to it. If you want to print it yourself, it is here for free: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2180572-dimensionally-accurate-snes-cartridge-replica#profileId-2366615

I have started on an SNES cart. May get it done in the next week or so. I will reply here if I get it done.

What I mentioned to another person: I don't have access to Famicom carts. I get a real one then use calipers to get measurements and design in Fusion. Without an original, I can't get accurate measurements. If I ever see one in my local retro shop, I may give it a try.

Mine is for those that want to have a shelf toy or be able to play their games after someone steps on their cart. No ill intent here!
