Who's got a 3D printer?

[marioxb]

I thought this would be cool.

Can someone tell if it's scaled to the PlayStation Classic? I don't know how to read/ understand 3D printer files.

Can it be printed in a similar color to the PSC?

I think it would be cool to put a tiny USB drive inside this and cut a hole in the front of the PSC case to have the extra "hacked" games on it.

And lastly, how much would someone charge to print this for me? I contacted the designer with no response months ago.

Thanks in advance!

It looks neat but the work required to smooth out a 3d print may take out the details.

Not if you're using the right printer  

On a side note, the file is poorly built.  I wouldn't print it personally.  It's also not at all accurate to the original Mem card proportions.

Fixed. Thanks, I have no idea AT ALL how 3D printers work. I have no idea what an .obj file is and if or if not it's a fully 100% 3D printer-ready file.

It is, but that model was poorly built and has errors.

Ah ok. Sounds like a challenge to ya, huh? Lol. Can you tell if it's properly scaled to the Mini PlayStation Classic?

[wiggy]

I didn’t check the scale, but I did go ahead and model one up myself. Luckily there’s almost nothing to it

[wiggy]

I haven't scaled it yet, so I'll wait to upload the STL file until I've done so.  Just don't have a PS and a PS classic at the shop with me in order to measure.  I'll bring them in this week to measure and scale.

Ooh that looks awesome! Wonder if one of those super small USB drives would fit inside. If not, I guess an SD card would!

[Tech13]

This should fit

Hey Wiggster, did you ever finalize these? I'd love to put games on a USB or micro SD card and put inside the memory card for my hacked PS Classic!

[wiggy]

I totally forgot about it.  I'll wrap it up as soon as I get a minute.  It's like 90% there, so won't take much.

[marioxb]

No problem, I kinda did too. Thanks buddy!

Here you go!

Let me know if you want an editable file, and I'll upload and IGES or whatever.

edit: the memory card ports on the PS classic are thinner than they should be, presumably to accommodate the USB ports.  So here's a version that has been thinned so that you can insert it into the port (even though it's only going in about 3mm).

Well, yeah that's great... except, remember the title of this thread? I don't have a 3D printer.. How much would you want to print a couple of the thinner ones for me? Any chance they can open up so I can put a micro SD card inside? Or at least slide one in through the back and have the contacts stick out? I want to work in a way to get it to connect to the Classic. I'd probably slice the "doors" open and put hinges on em, similar to the original.
