Hey Guys! I'm back with a finished N64 Portable commission that was completed last week and will be on it's way to the buyer early this week.
This was a pretty standard Portable N64 with not much in the way of frills or extensive features but it still took a lot of work to complete and of course had it's issues when building.
System Specs.
5" TFT LCD Display
2 - 2mm Mylar Speakers
Custom Audio Amp by RDC
2 - 3.7v 5000mAh Li-Po Batteries in Series for 7.4v Output
Standard N64 Motherboard with heavy trim
Expansion Pak
Hardwired Memory Pak
Custom 3D Printed and CNC Machined Enclosure
3.5mm Headphone Jack with Manual On/Off
Dual Power Circuit for Wall and Battery Power
As I explained in the video, ABS is a great printing material due to it's strength and machine-ability. However it takes more heat to print with and is more prone to warping. Though my modular printing format worked quite well initially, the technique I used to smooth the lines left from 3D printing caused some issues.
Acetone baths are great for printed parts of ABS material, however if the parts are being printed to fit and the tolerances are tight, this isn't the process to go as I found out the hard way. The melting of the plastic from the acetone will distort the part a bit and as I said, with tight tolerances, this just doesn't do.
So I had to make so adjustments to the original design that didn't come out as nice as I'd hoped for, but it is what it is at this point.
All in all I'm happy with how strong and well put together this one is, but I'm still bummed about the casing.
