MONOCHRON arcade cabinet case

thingiverse

I designed a stunning Monochron clock from Adafruit: https://learn.adafruit.com/monochron/overview Mr T really wanted PONG time, but I couldn't let his foolery slide. This project is based on falken76's fantastic Mortal Kombat 2 cabinet design. I modified it to fit the Monochron, adding a cool case and button panel. The graphics are from the Atari PONG home console; I made some minor adjustments to add visual interest. Here's my note: You can download high-resolution images if needed. **Custom Print Settings** Printer: Total Custom Rig Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: 10% Rafts: No Supports: No The trickiest part of printing this piece is keeping the larger parts' corners from warping during print. I used ABS, but I plan to try PLA next. **Assembly and Post-Printing Instructions** 1. Assemble the Monochron according to Adafruit's instructions. 2. Rearrange the spacers on the corner screws (aluminum between circuit board and screen board, nylon on backside). This will allow the unit to fit into the left and right panel parts. Apply a little hot glue for stability. 3. For easier access, insert cables through slots in the side panels: power cable (https://learn.adafruit.com/monochron/power-cable) on the left, led, potentiometer, and slider switch on the right. To avoid clutter, I decided to spray-paint some cardboard for the base. Feel free to use these custom meshes if you're interested, but be aware that large prints can warp during production. For a clean look, connect your power source through Adafruit's power cable modification. The Monochron assembly has an approximate diameter of 94 mm. Ensure all components are sized proportionally to avoid issues during construction. **Blender Mod** I created this design using Blender, modifying the original Mortal Kombat cabinet parts. Assembled, the clock stands roughly 94 mm across; it's best to double-check your proportions for accurate printing.
