RomTaStick, the 3D printed arcade console

zippy1978

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/

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 ?

zippy1978

Thanks @meleu !

Hi all,

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