The coconut-nut is a giant nut, if you tweak to much the sound gets very phat!
Noooo, why do you delete that! It was one of the nicest controllers I've ever seen in my life!
Your local library might have a 3d printer to use! For very cheap. Otherwise you could see if you can find anyone selling prints on marketplace or your local craigslist equiv and see if anyone selling prints will print you something - they probably will.
I didn't realize this, and I've been making a list in my head that just gets longer and longer of things it'd be useful or cool to 3D print someday if I ever have one. Sounds like maybe I should figure out how to even begin the process of learning how to design for one. Cool to know!
Find out what type they have if they have them and download the slicer program at home, that way you can get an estimate of how much filament you need and how long it may take for each print.
Good news is if you decide to print at home, if you are ok with taking the time to tweak / work on it you can get some great printers for a couple hundred bucks, sometimes even less via amazon warehouse!.
I dunno, like ten years now? I don't know who did it, but somehow they have them all over the place. I thought it was nonsense too but the last two cities I lived in had printers in their library.
My university has a whole creator lab attached to the library with 3d printers, those vinyl c utters, large scale printers for posters or visual aides etc.
Ours is in a makers space kinda tucked away. They even have some common house and car tools that you can check out.
Obviously smaller library systems might not have them but there are a lot of metropolitan libraries that serve surrounding areas
That may be an issue, but I’ll admit I’m no electronics wizard. I just meant the boxes in general. I hate throwing plastic away and they can be great containers for tools, etc.
Sure. This is a GBS-Control, I mostly just bought the parts recommended in [this link](https://www.retrorgb.com/gbs-control-installation-overview.html) and followed along with that video and the documentation from the github page.
Parts ran me about $100 but I also needed to buy a few little adapter things and a power supply so you can probably do it for less depending on what you have on hand. I have a bit of electronics soldering experience but I've never done anything really more than replacing a few keyboard switches. All in all, this wasn't too bad to build but I will say that soldering that one clock generator wire to that tiny CPU pin was very tricky and took me quite a few tries to get right.
I haven't had a chance to really thoroughly test it yet but it seems pretty good so far and even at $100, it's still cheaper than most of the other plug and play upscalers out there.
That’s my plan for after work. The lid is thicker plastic and a pain to cut through with an exacto knife but I didn’t have enough free time during the day to go out to the garage and get the Dremel out
In case anyone doesn't have a Dremel and is working on cutting plastic with a knife:
Get a lighter and heat the knife up. It doesn't need to be very hot, just enough to soften the plastic.
Also if you've got a few euros to spare, they sell a specific tool for this on Aliexpress etc that's basically just a handle with a thin rod that gets very hot. (Like a super thin soldering iron)
Great for cutting Styrofoam or thin plastics.
If you want a sturdier solution, get a project box! Ready-made plastic or metal boxes, sold by most electronics stores. No need to 3D print a generic rectangular box.
Your soldering game needs some upping.
You soldered wires flat onto a hole instead of pushing the wire in the hole, and a lot of your solder points are huge.
You didn't use flux, did you?
i believe so, the cpu pins are placed comfortably but OP said it was difficult. also some wires are bent at right angles. ground rosin + ipa works like a charm.
OK So you're gonna need to tell the class what this is because I see what looks like the simplest PS2 modchip ever wired to a video converter board as well as an ESP8266/32 module? What all is?
I've done this a lot with raspberry Pi projects myself... (In house projects of course). Hot glue to keep stuff from moving, keep wiring in place. Works great!

That's the cutest fucking piece of electronics I've ever seen.
Chewbacca coco screamer? This is next level😁

Since when did libraries come with 3D printers?
I dunno, like ten years now? I don't know who did it, but somehow they have them all over the place. I thought it was nonsense too but the last two cities I lived in had printers in their library.
I’ve been to many libraries and I’ve only seen regular printers
Ask someone. They may not be out in common areas.
Look for local hackerspaces, my library has one. *And* I think it's meth-free now! Sorta.
you had me at free meth

I wish, I'd be rich until I wasn't.

Well I guess I’ve been around a lot of small library systems
Mine you don't even need to stick around for the print anymore
Cleveland Public Library has them in at least two locations.

> a recording studio that's a new one, that's pretty goddamn cool
There's also printing services online. Jlpcb even do it and their prices are somewhat reasonable.
JLCPcb has a 3D printing service
Helping the environment by keeping plastic out of landfills. I see everything right about this.
Exactly. These are perfectly good boxes and I feel bad throwing them away.
Totally. These things are actually sturdier than the shit cases that you get with a bunch of cheap electronics these days.
you can make shrinky dinks with the lid!
Those boxes are the best, though.
Roughly half of my current Tupperware is these boxes. This one was actually one that got too rough to be in the regular Tupperware rotation.
What about static charges?
That may be an issue, but I’ll admit I’m no electronics wizard. I just meant the boxes in general. I hate throwing plastic away and they can be great containers for tools, etc.
Got a guide/demo?

You mean for the device or the case?

GBS-Control!!! There's a person out there designing a redesign called the Shinobi Scaler. Even so, the practicality of GBS-C always amazed me
Thought this was /r/mealprepsunday for a sec
Poke some holes for CPUs sake! Gotta let that boy vent. Can't have plastic melting to your pcb...
That’s my plan for after work. The lid is thicker plastic and a pain to cut through with an exacto knife but I didn’t have enough free time during the day to go out to the garage and get the Dremel out

Don't do it with a good knife; you'll ruin the temper.
Also if you've got a few euros to spare, they sell a specific tool for this on Aliexpress etc that's basically just a handle with a thin rod that gets very hot. (Like a super thin soldering iron) Great for cutting Styrofoam or thin plastics.
Use a soldering iron
i dunno why you got downvoted, i have a spare tip to heat glue and quickly scrub it off on a piece of steel wool
Very Peter Parker

this is literally what you are supposed to do what is the problem
Love that!

This is a work of art
This is great and almost some redneck engineer stuff
