An attempt to make a case for my Jackie Chan proto
21. Mar 2008 at 14:11

I bought this Jackie Chan proto from DreamTR a few months back and it came without a protective cartridge, which bothered me a lot.

Now one of my colleague is a tool freak and I asked him if he had a rotary tool I could borrow. If of course had such a device in his collection and a few days ago he remembered to bring it to work.

So my little project to "develop" a housing for my prototype came to life and I finally got around to doing the crafting (hah) today

It actually turned out pretty nice I think....

Next project is finding a spare AVE cart so I can make a housing for my Solitaire proto....

Mar 2008 at 19:28 Well I was extremely careful when cutting the corners as well as avoiding cutting my fingers off (ugh). The rotary tool I used is a Proxxon, I may have to get me one of these some day

Mar 2008 at 23:22 I can't say for sure if there are any differences as I've only tested that the cart actually works... I have a feeling that its very close to - if not - the final game.

You did a fantastic job cutting that out. You should see some of the hacked up messes I've made for my dev carts. Al

Jun 2009 at 17:42 Hey Martin, which bit did you use to make your cuts? I just started doing this with some loose proto boards I had but I'm completely thrilled with the results. Any tips you could give on what tip and speed you used to make the cuts? Thanks!

Jun 2009 at 12:53 I made some also, not with a tool, but heating a sharp knife and cutting through the plastic case. Will upload some pics and show y'all soon. I't's not superb but efficient enough IMO.
