The duo door seems to change color faster than the console itself, from all pics I have ever seen, so the color being slightly off probably won't be the worst thing.

Can't wait to see the dyed ED cover...

This is fantastic!  Great work!  I would be interested in a DUO door for sure.  When will they be available for sale?  Thank you!

I have sent the latest prototype off to be tested by an outside entity.  After that (baring any revisions) they should be available.

Yea, I have a feeling that no matter how much I tweak it I won't get it perfect.  I am really more concerned with the fit than anything else.  I could still just dye them all orange....

This is all good.  Thank you for all the hard work!  I will most definitely be interested in an Everdrive cover.  Keep up the good work slug made of Jello!

Here is the Everdrive cover and the Turboexpress battery door installed:

I think I need to radius the top edge of the Everdrive cover to make it look a bit better and to see if it will stop the front cover from curling.  There is a slight bow because of the geometry of the part at the printing process.  Gluing the cover on will fix it but for those that don't want to glue it on I want it to fit properly.

That ever drive cover looks mighty sweet!

Can I see a closeup of the reset button ?  Is it just really think plastic that allows it to flex and press the button ?  I just got the ultra low profile TED cover (in orange) via shapeways.  But might have to opt for this one also as it's looks pretty sweet in black.

The button is a separate piece, kind of like the button on a controller.

Wow looks great next to print the whole shell of duo  :D

Keep us all posted im sure i could use some pars asap

That TED cover looks pretty fancy.  Has anyone here tried painting theirs yet (the TED itself), kinda like Stone Age Gamer does with their overpriced deluxe version?

Definitely getting one when they go for sale. Imagine, with the right nail polish or acrylic paint...

(pardon the quick and sloppy photoshoppling)
I'm going to do that with the test one that I have now.  I just need to get some model paint.

When you finalize the ED cover, I want a white one to closer match the DuoR

That should not be an issue.  I already have that dye mixed.

graffias79

Most excellent work!  When these are finalized you can count me in for one of the Duo doors and one of the Everdrive covers.

Wicked cool stuff bro !! Now this is what you call 2014 Turbo Technology !!!
Finally playing these games I couldn't get my hands on back in 91' !!! Nec fan always !!!

That looks great! Even the texture seems to match the console.  =D>

Yeah I planned on painting mine once I get it.

Jello, excellent work!
Are the pivot spring arms stronger than stock. If not you could add some strength there so that they will not break in the future.
Also are the cd gears too small to replicate?

Here is a status update:

1. Turboexpress battery doors are ready.  PM me if you are interested.
2. DUO door: after a test fit it needs some minor tweaking.  One more print and it should be perfect.
3. Everdrive cover: I'm make a minor change to help prevent warping and to fix an aesthetic problem. One more print and it should be perfect.
4. DUO-R door: I have one more rough print to make to finalize the shape and if that works I will have a sample printed.
5. Everdrive USB cover:  There is some interest in this version so I'm going to get the dimensions for the port and make a different version for that one.
6. CD-ROM case latches: In stock, PM me if interested.

bonoedgey

thanks for the update jelloslug. I for one am interested in the Everdrive cover, but like you said one more print...
none the less thanks for keeping us informed

I have five TE doors and new prototypes of the other parts on the way.  They should be here the first week of October.

I will definitely be picking up a few items for sure.  Question,  with the everdrive cover, how do you secure it in place?

There are posts that grip the holes in the board.  I do recommend a little glue or double sided tape for extra holding power though.

cjameslv

Is the everdrive (non-usb) covers finalized yet? I am interested in picking one up when your ready!

monads

this does look really nice!  i've been thinking of picking up an Everdrive and if do I'm on board for one of these covers!

CrossBow

I too would be most interested in the cover for the TED once you have those available.

I already ordered my Everdrive from retrogate and am eagerly waiting on this new batch. I personally like this design so much more than the plain ones you have put a sticker on.

New parts day!

Turboexpress battery doors are in stock!

DUO card door.  It's going out tomorrow to be test fit on an actual system.

And last but not least, the Everdrive cover. I'm happy with this version so it is now available.

The best part now is that Shapeways just announced a price cut on this material so they will be a little bit cheaper than expected!

How much for an EverDrive cover? (If prices stayed the same?)

Thank you,  :pcgs:

I will be making an individual thread for purchasing the different parts shortly.  This will make it easier (for me) to keep track of things.

Slug you beautiful man.  I will be in line for an ever drive cover.  This in turn will force me to actually purchase an Everdrive.

Nice! Will pick up an Everdrive cover at some point. Awesome work. 3D printers are magical.

The first batch of ED covers and Duo doors are on their way.  I will make an individual thread for each part when they arrive.
