BTW I love my all black stands that you made.
I finally got all my handhelds in a slim dvd stand and it looks great!

OK, so they technically fit, but there's a hint of bulge. With that in mind, I couldn't make a part which would allow them to snap into place. I could only make a piece that would keep it from wiggling around in the cavity meant for GB games. A simple laser cut insert would do the job. Keep in mind that there's NO room for a manual in there if you store the games with the little clear clamshell cases.

Well this was extremely satisfying. About 5-6 years ago I traded with N64guy for the silver Panasonic Q console. It had shattered DVD tray rails (like so many others, including the orange one right next to it), which I painstakingly glued back together in order to take measurements so that I could reverse engineer them.
I did indeed create CAD models for both rails and printed several of them on my old Replicator 2. Getting a set of good, non-warped parts (which ain't easy when using FDM printers) took some time. I finally did get a decent set, but the problem wasn't 100% fixed. Later on I acquired a second broken unit, which obviously got a bit of a makeover. This of course got me motivated to get them back to 100% working order. Turns out the drive belts were the other problem. Found a suitable replacement part and now both are working perfectly, each with a set of printed rails (the silver has an old set of FDM prints, and the Orange had a set from our Form2 SLA printer).
Next up I'll be making a blue unit for a friend and long-time customer :)

I miss mine. I stupidly broke it while trying to mod the Cube part of it for US games. I think I got mad and ended up throwing it in the trash. This was when the system first came out and I got it from a friend who was living in Japan at the time.

Just fixed my mega cd v1. Dont even get me started on repairing these front loading fuckers. Great job dude.

Are those something you'd be willing to share/sell? I finally picked up my first NGPC with 6 games and I'd love to be able to box them up on a shelf
