Do you miss the satisfying thunk of plugging in a old school game cartridge? Do you wish your USB devices were far larger than necessary? If so, then the retroCART might be for you! Inspired by 1980s VTech designs, these 3D printable shells let you relive the glory days of computing without sacrificing the capability and performance of modern technology.
Originally developed as part of my personal cyberdeck, the retroCART system has now been spun off into its open source project so others can integrate it into their creations. To make it easier for you to encase your USB gadgets in comically large faux-cartridges, I've made the OpenSCAD design compatible with Customizer so you can easily tweak the design without having to fiddle with the source code.
I've also included STLs of a few cartridges I've already made, which should be ready to use if you by the same devices (printer calibration not withstanding).
Cartridge Assembly
Each cartridge takes four screws, ideally #6 Plastite, but M3 cap heads can also work if you're careful not to strip out the holes.
Slot Assembly
The rear of the cartridge slot is a separate piece from the body, which allows you to change the depth without having to reprint the entire thing. The two screw holes go all the way through the body, meaning you can use whatever length M3 screws you wish to not only hold them together but bolt the assembly into its final position.
You'll need another M3 screw and matching nut for the clamp that holds the USB extension into place. The rear panel has a pocket for the nut to be inserted into, and with the screw threaded in from the other side, you have a convenient way to lock the extension into place once you've got the alignment right.
