I got my 3D prints today and they really turned out quite nice! Very close to the real model, which means I must’ve done something right. I just need to make a few modifications.

The pins I’m using to hold the thing together are a little small. They work, but it’s quite difficult to handle them and I’m afraid they could pop out at any point. So, I’ll make those a little bit longer. I’m also going to add a couple more pins to prevent flexing near the back corners.

Additionally, the piece holding the screen is a little too snug – so snug it almost bends my screen. Some modifications with my dremel fixed this but I’m still going to make an update to my files.

Compare my 3D printed Game and Watch Tabletop to an original below (with screen inserted, too).

Next Steps

I’ve already made these changes digitally, just have to wait for them to arrive physically. For this build, I’m planning to use a Rasberry pi and similar controls to what I’ve used in the past. I want to get all the electronics working before I try to fit them in there though. That might have to wait, I’m very close to finishing my Wreck It Ralph Coleco and will probably finish that first.
