Came out looking awesome! The custom ports do give it some extra polish over the previous iteration. I might wind up making one of these myself. It would look great next to my Virtual Boy 😄

I’d watch every season of this show

Thank you, kind stranger!

That’s a fire hazard (in case you weren’t already considering it)

OpenSCAD is definitely easier, and I still like it too. I started learning build123d because I wanted fillets and splines, and because you can reference the properties of an existing object (like height) when making another object. Those have always been big drawbacks of openscad for me.

If you know how to program, build123d is a FOSS option that isn’t FreeCAD! You can create objects directly from Python code, including fillets and chamfers! I’ve been playing around with it a lot and while there’s definitely a learning curve, it’s pretty powerful! There’s a VS Code addon that allows you to visualize what you’re working on and visually debug as well. I can do a lot of things I couldn’t do in OpenSCAD (which is another easier code cad option).

This is the route I ultimately took and it has worked out well for me. Most of the multi-packs I found had individual rolls that were too short to really be practical. I considered buying two packs, but with a lot of brands there will be some variability between two rolls of the same color which means you can’t switch mid-print. I ultimately found a pack with rolls that were twice the typical length and that has worked out well. The one I bought was Mika 3d brand on Amazon.

It is!

Ah, a use for all my leftover pink filament post-Barbie

Gorgeous! Metroid is my favorite. I especially love how this appears to be printed directly in the correct colors of filament without requiring paint. Is the source model for this the game asset, or did it come from somewhere else?
