This is a Wii case replacement for Wiis with GameCube ports. If your Disc drive is broken or the original case is dirty, this is a great fix! It looks sleek, and it more durable and lighter than the original Wii. No soldering or hardware modifications aside from taking it apart need to be made! To see how to put it together, I would mostly follow blke3dcake's video on Thingiverse. The buttons you use can come from the Wii you are taking apart, or they can be printed. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6753269/files) See attached photos for what needs to be done. The little black SD Card insert from the front cover of the Wii is needed., and must be trimmed slightly to fit. The original screws that hold the SD card insert must also be used, or it can be glued in place. I also added a honeycomb over the fan to make it look nicer, but the fan doesn't fit over the screw holes just right, and the power converter for my fan on the board does blew or something, so i have my oven power source and switch (the hole was drilled, and is not in the model) so i just hot glued it in place. V2 coming soon!
Printing
Infill: use whatever infill you like.
Orientation: print the bottom shell flat, with standard supports. Print the top standing upright, with the fan cover on the build plate, with supports (I think I used tree)
Material: standard PLA works fine
Printer: I use a Creality CR-10 SE, so I printed it pretty fast, and the model handles it.
