NEC PC-FX MiSTer FPGA Project
thingiverse
This custom system empowers you to integrate a MiSTer FPGA system seamlessly into an NEC PC-FX video game console without altering the original console's structure beyond removing its internal components (excluding the disk drive). The system consists of several key components: Main Tray - This component securely holds the MiSTer board in place using the original standoffs and M3 screws, with holes at the back to enable tightening. - It also accommodates a hard disk drive (HDD), where I utilized a WD 1TB Blue, but any compatible HDD will work. - This tray further secures the Mean Well RD 35A PSU, which provides the necessary 5V for the MiSTer and USB hub as well as the required 12V for a HDD USB adapter. - Additionally, it contains a USB Hub, which I chose to be a Sabrent but removed its shell to make it smaller and easier to solder to pads and power. Rear Expansion Door - This component replaces the original rear expansion port door situated above the AV ports. - It clicks into place just like the original piece, necessitating no modifications whatsoever. - A spot is provided for a PSU plug (15A fused, on/off toggle) and an HDMI extension plug. - Both can be securely fastened using M3 screws. Front Controller Ports - This part fits snugly over the original front controller port opening from the rear within the console's shell. - It will be held firmly in place at the back by the original metal chassis plate (the last piece to be removed, situated at the bottom). - Two USB extension panel mount cords can be attached through screw holes. PSU Plate - This component securely holds the Mean Well RS 35A PSU between screw posts on the underside of the case. - It ensures the PSU remains in place from front to back, while the side panels of the PC-FX prevent any lateral movement. Front & Rear Main Tray Brackets - These parts attach to designated areas as shown in the renders using original screws from the PC-FX console. - They maintain the main tray at a level position and prevent it from moving laterally or forward. - Movement towards the rear is mitigated through effective cable management. None of these components required any filing or sanding when printed with a well-adjusted Ender 3. Support structures can be utilized as needed, align parts according to your preference. I prefer printing vertically, so I aligned my prints in that orientation. Feel free to adapt this approach to suit your printer and settings best.
