I designed a simple Sega Master System game shell for 3D printing.
The shell fits Sega 28 and 32-pin single IC pcb and is designed to be easily printable.

I have provided STL files but if you want to compile the source to STL files your self, you will need OpenSCAD http://www.openscad.org/
And you will need 2 M3 screws, 10 to 15 mm long, to screw it together.

Release 1

Beta 1
First public beta.

Beta 1.1
When I copied over the pcb holder from the front to the back, I forgot to change the height of them.

Release 1, Beta 1.2
Fixed some details, I find this version to work well and is easy to print.

I printed mine with the default settings in Prusa Slicer for my MK3.
Layer height was 0.3mm (Draft), in PETG and no supports since I designed it to not need it.
Currently it takes less than 3 hours to print a complete shell (2h40m according to the software)

Pictures of my print and I used my Columns pcb to show it of.

It looks good I was thinking about doing this as well but using an SLA 3D printer The layer lines would be non-existent and it would look fantastic.

Yes, SLA would make it look better but I am not that enthusiastic about the cemicals/liquids needed for SLA.

Black makes the layers more visible and the layers are extra thick to save about an hour on the print time. If I had printed them in white it would have not been that visible.

My personal thoughts on it were to make resin molds to make them little by little.

So I have made a new version of my SMS game shell.

It now uses two countersunk wood screws (3.6x16mm) for putting the two parts together rather than two M3.

I hope to release a version R2.1 that mages the same shell but is better programmed so it uses a config file for easier modification, for example to change screw design etc. but don't hold your breath for that since I am really happy with the current design.

It is still under CC BY-SA 4.0
