Took me a wee while to get the hang of this (used to Dominos on a Nintendo DS), but really enjoying it now, thank you 😊

That looks great! I could use two of these myself. Btw, you can add me to the Game Center Removable Panel Unaware Group. You learn something new here all the time. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you 😊 Well in all fairness, I've looked to see if I can find a picture of a game center with both panels, and even the official picture on the box only seems to show one (the far one seems to be missing). So I *assume* there should be two ... my Atari definitely sits on there fine when there are two.

The way I know to create corner radiuses in Tinkercad, is to create a Cylinder Hole that has a diameter that is 2 times the radius that you want.  Then create a Box Solid that has the width and length of the radius you want...like the left picture above.  Then group those 2 items, and change them to a Hole...like in the center picture above.  Then group with your main item, and achieve the radius...like in the right picture above.  Remember to maximize the number sides of your Cylinder Hole to 64, so it is as "round" as Tinkercad can draw.  

Cool, am going to screenshot this. Its similar to what I did (though without any calculations or accuracy!) This will be really useful for bigger prints where it will matter👍

I'm going to be completely honest here...I didn't even know game centers had removable panels. They look sweet though and totally make sense. Nice work man!

Thank you! And tbh me neither, until I bought one that had one still in place. I'm sure I read somewhere here that the game center can also be used for iIntellivision consoles, so maybe they pop off for those to fit better?  I probably should try one at some point ...

Don't have a 3d printer myself. Is there a 3d printer service of sort? I'd like to get these for my two game centers.

We have places that will 3d print for you in the UK, so would imagine you have the same in the US. IIRC astroprint used to carry ads for places that would print stuff. Might be cheaper to see if there's anyone on Facebook or the like who'll do it a bit cheaper though?

It turned out a decent looking chamfer. You got some ideas for the "next project"?

 

Not at present, one idea a year is more than enough 😉

Your panel looks great, Curious can you program a radius on the the outer corners?

I'm not sure you can in Tinkercad, which is all I know how to use (I'm about as far from a pro as you can get!). I found a tutorial online on how to create curves, and took a best guess. Luckily didn't come out too bad.

Hi

 

I'd been looking for the missing removable panels for the top of my Atari Game Center and couldn't find replacements anywhere, even thingiverse didn't seem to have anything. So, I've had a go at creating some from scratch. One of my game centers did have one left in place, so at least I had something to work from. I've created the attached, it's by no means perfect, but does fit, and doesn't look too bad (especially if you have a pair).  Attached is the stl file, and if/when thingiverse will let me log in again I'll upload it there too. If anyone's any good at textures and can match the top a bit better, that would be great! 😊

 

Cheers

[Heavy Sixer Serial Number Thread]

Can I add mine to the list? Received this one yesterday, SN: 16801H. My first heavy sixer. NTSC unit, advertised as 'CX-2600 console' on eBay, with one rubbish picture. Got very lucky price wise. Came with original joysticks (will need fixing), paddles and driving controller.
