Atari 7800 Cartridge Guide (2600 Cart Compatible)

thingiverse

Owners of an original Atari 7800 will know all too well that certain unusually shaped 2600 cartridges can cause serious damage to your internal cartridge guide, often bending it beyond repair. A printable model hopes to resolve this issue by providing a reliable replacement solution. There are one or two other replacement cart guides available online, but only this version has been designed with the utmost care to ensure compatibility with an impressive number of 2600 cartridges. To achieve optimal results, you'll need some high-quality infill to make your screw posts strong and durable. It's also essential to tweak your retraction distance, as Cura's default setting proved insufficient in my experience. Using a retraction distance of 4.5 millimeters and monitoring the print carefully after each retract seems to yield the best results, ensuring that all pins are printed fully without any issues.
