Sanni Cart Reader V5 Shell

This work is heavily inspired by the great Kytor Industries shell, but has been remade entirely from scratch in order to fit my smaller printer bed.

I chose to not have a top shell, as I like the look of the PCB, which doubles as a slot indicator as the names are written on it. The fit is very tight still and should prevent most of the dust from entering.

I also made a GB slot cover (optional) to further prevent dust from getting in.

Lastly, I did not want to have the N64 plug clip into the shell, as I think it makes maintenance harder. So instead the plug will be blocked with a small printed part screwed into an heat set insert.

If you intend to build one, here is the list of parts to order: https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/wiki/What-to-order

I you intend to build one or have already build one, here is some different parts you will need:

• 18mm long M2 female-female spacers, 3mm in diameter (19mm will work, but the top PCB will be slightly proud) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001271908929.html
• two 1x40 2.54mm 19mm long(total length) male pin headers (19mm male pin headers will work fine with 18mm spacer, and 20mm headers with 19mm spacers) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32911455899.html
• 6mm side switches (the shell is larger than the original) https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005004401308665.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.53.41895e5bb5DgMI&gatewayAdapt=glo2fra
• 2x10cm cables if you don't want to bother and redo the connectors of the longer ones that come with the screen https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005003733065114.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.64.41895e5bb5DgMI&gatewayAdapt=glo2fra
