This photo is very close to the actual designs that'll be used for my N64+Memory Card Case, and my NES+SFC Case.
I need to get better 3-D Prints made, and fix any issues that may become apparent with the new prints.

I know they're not the final versions, but looking at the N64 one, how are you planning to make the top part that holds the cartridge in place? I mean, the N64 cartridge has a round top, while the prototype has four square corners. I don't know if that would make the cartridge a bit loose. ???
Other than that, everything looks great! :D Although I would prefer the case without the memory card holder, as I said much earlier in this topic, but that's just me. ;D

Oh, sorry; my bad.
Here's a later prototype that'll show the tab for n64 Carts:
You can also clearly see many of the errors of the old 3D Printer.
That center tab prevents the n64 Game Cart from sliding up and down in the case.
If you break it off, a n64 GameShark fits nice and snug in the Cart Area.
That's why there's those raised lines under the cart area, to compensate for the port that sticks out of the back of a n64 Gameshark.
Also, that tab won't be that tall in the final revision.
It only needs to come up the Cart's Side, to the halfway point.
That'll make it easier to grip the Game Cart when ya want to take it outta the case.
People with thick fingers may need to remove the Memory Card, before removing the Game Cart,
if they are using an Extra Tall 3'rd Party Memory Card.

Any news or new modifications? ;D

In about an hour, a woman is going to come by, to pick up her Notebook, and give me some $.
Her HDD was damaged in a fall. Luckily, I was able to recover almost all of her data.
I installed a new drive for her; a SSD.
Since she travels a lot, it's likely to get dropped again, and SSDs are more rugged.
I also replaced her single-core CPU with a new dual-core CPU, so she can stream HD Netflix and Youtube vids without screen-tearing.
I recently built a new PC for another client, and am helping her, and her neighbor, with some other general work that needs to be done to their homes, every evening, after I get outta work (the day job). I should be finished with that sometime next week, and get paid. 8)
As soon as I'm done with them, I'm going to put my 3'rd job business cards up, in a common area, at the APT complex again (I have approval to do so) to drum up some more business.
Professional 3-D Prints (made of ABS) are going to cost around $800, on average, to do 1 ea, of all 3 Case Designs (NES, SNES+SFC, n64+MC).
I'm still getting quotes from other places, and trying to get some more reasonable pricing for prototypes made of PE, instead of ABS.
I already have enough reserve $ to order the 3 ABS Prototypes, but am holding off on making a decision, until I hear back from other prospective companies.
The guys over at Seastone have received the TG16 Game I sent them, and are still working on making design changes to their Gift Card Cases, so they can fully support HuCards, Manuals, and Outer Case Artwork.
I haven't received any $ quotes from them, just yet.

Hate to say it but the SFC/SNES in one cases look pretty terrible. I'd much prefer to buy them separate than have them like that.

Well you can always cut away the extra parts. :D
