I got the SNES desoldered, ready to rock.
The board and cartridge slot
This is the front of my first vacuum form case and first time using ABS (1/16 inch) as the material. It works, but the sides ended up too thin because I had too deep a draw, so I reworked the mold.
The orientation of the SNES (once I cut up the board)
Tests of the vacuum forming the new molds; I used styrene this time because it was free and quick. Front and back of case.
How the cartridges are positioned.
Basic thickness of the case will be, at its thickest point, two inches.
Cheers!
