RomTaStick, the 3D printed arcade console
-
@zippy1978 I don't own a 3d printer, but I love this! It's so cool to see a project like this. It's pure design freedom transformed into physical reality. I know 3d printing has been around for a while, but I just don't yet think in terms of building exactly what I want this way. I especially like the "move ahead" attitude with the player start buttons. Nice work!

Really like this design.
I think you could easily throw a plexiglass cover over the top of that, and then you could throw a printed control panel overlay that sits between the base and the plexi top cover.Do you think you could extend those plans to a simple possibly modular monitor frame?
Something like a bartop that is 3d printable?

@Twitch0815 Hi, thank you !
I don't think I can extend it to add a monitor: the largest parts my printer can print are about 22cm2... I could think of how to it with small parts only... But it would be really difficult (and the screen would be probably pretty small).
-
@caver01 Thank you !
The "move head" for player buttons is actually an accident: I had to do it because player buttons where too long to feet in the box like other ones...
But I'm glad you like it :)

Yeah, I read your description of that. I just liked the attitude--rather than a complete redesign/rebuild, you just worked out a solution and moved forward.

@zippy1978 that thing is awesome. I don't have access to a 3D printer, but would you be interested in selling just the printed pieces?
-
Hi @chigundo,
Why not...
Do you already know the colors you want ?
And could you tell me in which country you live ?
With that I could give you a price... -
What was your cost outside of the 3d printed parts?
-
Hi @Jeck11,
Around 120€ including shipping costs.
-
@zippy1978 no clue on colors but assuming the cheapest option for now, what would just the printed parts shipped to USA be, Connecticut 06117

140€ should be enough for pla (2 colors : one for top parts + one for bottom parts + lid) + printing + shipping.
That is about $157.Colors can be anything from this selection : http://www.ldlc.com/navigation/neofil3d+pla+2.85mm/

@zippy1978 I'm looking into fights ticks for my next build. What would the cost be in the UK please?
-
@zippy1978 great project, great info! thanks for sharing!

Hi @taffdan,
I'm not sure to understand what you asked me...
Do you want to know if I can print a box for you ? -
Thanks @meleu !

Hi all,
I created a small website with detailed instructions to build the RomTaStick.
