Red 5 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yeah. I was therealred5 because Red 5 was taken when I joined back in the olden days. I subscribed the first year there was subscriptions and Red 5 was available so I switched. I still stop by a few times a week, but not as active as I used to be (or want to be). (I will stop hijacking this thread now...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Climber Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Just curious if anything ever came of this? I have been pondering milling a wood atari cartridge case run and this is all I can find. Did Yuppicide ever refund everyone? I would like to see if I could get the Cad file from his wood guy...

bennybingo Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Am I still waiting on a refund? I saw him riding down the street on his hello kitty bike…if you hurry, you might catch him! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhomaios Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Too late. He already gave it to his disabled neighbor who doesn't even own a 360 or PS3! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 yuppicide's wood carts were supposed to be hand-made, rather than cnc milled, so there were no CAD files. I'm not sure they're the greatest for wood - lots of thin edges - but Joe Grand's 2600 prototype cart STL files can be imported in a good 3D CAD package. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I didn't know they were hand making them. Thanks for the video link, pretty cool! Yeah, you are correct they are pretty thin for wood. I would have to alter the design a bit, there is a lot of space in a cartridge anyways so should be able to make it a bit thicker. I was kind of hoping Yuppicides guy already did the legwork though and I could purchase (or have) the CAD drawings but if they are hand made it doesn't matter, I'll have to just make prototypes until I find something that works. do you know by chance if he ever had a working example and what kind of wood he used?

RevEng Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I know he had a "prototype", but I'm not sure if it was working. I have no idea on the wood he used, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lentzquest Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 The guy who made the clear Star Castle cartridges had machine milled some of them, so he might have a cad file for you. The material used shouldn't make that much of a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
