Faketastic Retroid Pocket 2/2+ Shell

thingiverse

WARNING - This is a difficult print. The need for clean internal AND external surfaces make this print a huge PITA (at least with resin). I've done my best to provide you with good printing orientations, but you may find something that works better. Failure to print in a good orientation results in warped parts that don't fit together. This is also a difficult modification due to needing to dissemble the entire handheld and remove the screen from the shell. To separate the screen from the shell, please refer to my guide on screen removal: https://imgur.com/a/7xqBJ9M. RetroCorps also put out a great video on how to disassemble and reassemble the entire RP2/RP2+.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKf_TDS4KC8). I also highly encourage you check out RetroCorps other content - he's a bona-fide pillar of the community. OVERVIEW: This is a reconstructed model of the Retroid Pocket 2 Shell. I was motivated to make this due to Retroid's choice to discontinue the "Funtastic" (hence 'Faketastic') line of shells. The intent was to make a 3D printable shell that I could use to print whatever color/transparency combo I wanted. I mostly succeeded, but the work isn't done. The model has been developed to the point that I want to start gathering mass feedback regarding questions that I cannot easily answer myself: "What flaws does the model have?" "What materials work best?" "What print orientation works best?" "Should I just give up and buy a legacy Funtastic shell for $100?" Most of you have probably moved on to a new handheld, but I've created a Discord to allow more convenient communication for those who want to give feedback there.
