After designing my mini Neo Geo AES Raspberry Pi case, I wanted a miniature cartridge to complete the ensemble. These are my latest versions. This was meant to pop into two parts to allow it to appear to be inserted into the case, held in place by 8mm x 2mm round neodymium magnets. It includes fake PCBs that can be printed in green and gold or copper, and look really good.

The v1 is great, but I was trying to duplicate both the original case's design (a two-piece clamshell sandwiching the PCBs). While it prints fine in FDM, I never got a successful print from resin (warping issues, mostly). This led me to wonder why I wasn't just trying to design something easy to print, rather than replicating something else.

So v2 was designed - basically, they're just larger, unified pieces into which magnets are placed in, while the model's infill can be modified to suit the sturdiness and weight you'd like.

Finally, I took the v2 and made it into a single unified monolith (with separate PCBs, of course). Why? Heck, you might want a complete cartridge, and they look a tiny bit nicer this way.
