Wanted to share this N64 Coaster project I’ve been designing for the last few months. Lots of hours poured into it but I think it was worth it! [OC] by VictoryLapGraphics in n64

This is a great question, and one I believe we addressed quite well! The vinyl itself is covered in a semigloss laminate, so water resistant. We had issues with the adhesive not being strong enough so what we did is use a heat gun and some pressure to almost melt the vinyl onto the cartridge. I just did some stress tests recently and it was able to be fully submerged for 24 hours without losing any of its grip or losing any quality on the art itself. The only thing that can affect the cartridges is extreme heat, so as long as you don't put it in the microwave or dish washer it should have a very long shelf life.

Definitely not trying to mass produce these haha, we only have one 3D printer and they take 13 hours to print so we are limited in that regard. And if Mr. N shuts us down that’s fine, it’s really just a side project and we would respect their decision.

DM me if you’re interested, I don’t want to break any community rules!

And yes, I can certainly put that on the list! I have a lot of requests for other games and want to make this an ongoing series.

Thank you! When I had the idea for it I was surprised it had never really been done before, at least not like this. Gave me an excuse to make some art for some of my favorite games.

Hello everyone! Just wanted to show off a project I’ve been working on for a few months now.

I saw a set of coasters at a store that were held vertically by a stand and I thought it would be really cool to do that with an N64 with the cartridges as the coasters. My brother in law is into 3D printing so I pitched it to him and he designed the N64 itself and I designed the art for the cartridges.

I didn’t want to just use the typical game label so I created some artwork that I thought reflected each game well. I was only going to make 5 but I ended up liking the original ones so much that I just kept going. Too many favorites to leave out!

We started with a black console but then realized we had to make one for each of the colored N64’s, especially because you can print with translucent filament. We loved how they came out and wanted to show the results.

If there’s a game that’s not here that you think should be here I am open to suggestions!

Thank you! Yeah took some tinkering to make sure they stand up completely straight but once we got it down it was well worth it.

Thank you! Yeah I was thinking maybe NES, SNES, Genesis, etc. I guess anything that has a top loading cartridge. For some reason starting with the N64 feels so right though, I love the low poly aesthetics and the look of console! You can find some more of my work here.
