<p>The Nintendo Famicom has been nagging me for almost my whole life with its non-detachable controllers and awkward length of the cord. So here is the solution to scratch that itch.</p> <p>3D model slicer examples as shown in the pictures for best appearance/structural strength.</p> <p>To keep the original appearance with the controllers, you can replace the long wire from original Famicom controllers with a NES controller extension corder, cut into desired length.</p> <p>2P microphone pin is populated on an N/C pin, if you want to use it, get a 7-pin zapper extension cord instead (pricier).</p> <p>Full project design files can be found on GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/jeffqchen/famicom-rear-port-mod">https://github.com/jeffqchen/famicom-rear-port-mod</a></p> <p>=== UPDATE ===</p> <ul> <li>Improved 3D model for better insertion experience.</li> </ul> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 3 Pro</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.15</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>10%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Generic PLA/PETG White/Red</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>==================<br/> PCB can be ordered from OSHPark: <p>1P</p> <p><a href="https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/gRNN75yp">https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/gRNN75yp</a></p> <p>2P</p> <p>https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/Hxw588oo</p> <p>Pins and wire can be ordered from DigiKey:</p> <p>Part No.: ED1183-ND</p> <p>Name: CONN PC PIN CIRC 0.040DIA GOLD by Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp.</p> <p>Part No.: HF06S-5-ND</p> <p>Name: CBL RIBN 6COND 0.039 GRAY 5M</p> <p>Screws were from <a href="https://www.amazon.com?linkCode=ll2&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20&amp;linkId=e4759bff1fa9a55a0f897d801ce2d765&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Amazon</a>:</p> <p>M3 Hex Socket Head Cap Screws/Nuts Kit</p> <p>====================</p> <p>Prints:</p> <ul> <li>You may need to file/cut/drill away any inaccuracies in order to fit the parts together correctly.</li> </ul> <p>Soldering demonstration included in pictures.</p> <ul> <li><p>Some pins are N/C so I didn't waste my money populating them.</p> </li> <li><p>Don't use too much solder since the space inside is pretty constrained.</p> </li> <li><p>Wire pinout is serialized.
