Darksoft's Taito F3 Multi Cart Top Shell

thingiverse

1/20/2024: I have added a blank version of the shell for those who need replacement shells for original F3 cartridges.1/14/2024: I have now added and an OLED version of the model for the newer OLED remote board. Only the left half is affected by this so I have renamed the models to indicate which one is for the LCD remote board and which one is for the OLED remote board. The right side is the same either way. There is also a 1 piece OLED file included as well.This is a 2 part top shell model for Darksoft's Taito F3 Multi Cart. Normally you are expected to harvest a shell from another F3 game, or just use the Multi Cart as a bare PCB. I didn't want to sacrifice another cart, and I wasn't comfortable using just the bare PCB so I took some dimensions and designed a replacement shell. This shell is split into 2 models that slide together and are secured to one another with 8x 2mm self tapping screws. Each was designed to fit on a Bambu Lab X1/P1 bed. It's longest dimension is 238mm. The only areas that need support are the large overhangs where the locking levers on the F3 motherboard engage. If you want to do a multicolor print for the F3 logo, I placed a small extrusion on the inside of the shell in the shape of the F3 logo. I would advise painting that rear extrusion in the same color as you use for the recessed outline of the F3 logo. That will help the slicer produce a better pattern on the unsupported recessed logo than if you leave it the same as the base color of the print. I've also added a single piece version of the STL for those with larger 3D printers. The longest dimension is 298.45mm.
