Build your own handheld Tic-Tac-Toe gaming console and challenge your friends to a match! This portable game machine comes complete with a 9V battery and a custom 3D-printed enclosure that lets you take the fun on the go. Check out this DIY project at https://diyodemag.com/projects/tic_tac_toe_portable_electronic_game_machine. The 3D-printed enclosure for this project consists of three parts: the top lid, the game machine body, and the nine pushbutton covers. You can download the .stl files from our website. It's worth noting that the design of the enclosure is tailored to fit 7cm x 9cm prototyping boards used in the control and button boards. However, due to poor machining on these boards, the four corner holes aren't perfectly square, which affects the screw holes on the enclosure. To accommodate this, we've included a file called MainBody_Exact.stl with exact measurements that the prototyping board should have. We printed both the top lid and game machine body in lime green PLA plastic using our Flashforge Finder. The results were impressive, but be sure to give your prints a quick clean-up after printing - removing any stringing, clearing screw holes with a hand drill, etc. We've also included an STL file for the button covers, which you can print one-at-a-time or all together in a single print. You'll need nine of them, printed with the top side facing down, and each should take around 15 minutes to print. White or translucent PLA plastic works well for these buttons, allowing the LED light to shine through. Just be aware that the infill type you choose will affect how visible it is when the LEDs are lit - in our case, small hexagons were used.
