Turbo Everdrive 3D Printed Shell - $6 at Sculpteo

SmokeMonster · 02/11/2015, 04:07 PM

I 3D printed Dogp's Turbo Everdrive shell through Sculpteo for $6 and it turned out well. I've made the design public at Sculpteo here so anyone can order the exact part that I did. ~~Shipping was $3 in the US.~~ US shipping has gone up to $6 now.

The label snaps on exactly and tightly, so it doesn't require any adhesives attach. You print it in different colors, but it brings the price up significantly. Mine is in raw in white plastic:

Thanks, Smoke! This is more in the price range of what I'd be willing to pay for a TurboEverdrive cover!

That's awesome! And white is the color I'd want to match the Duo-R.

I was originally planning on painting it, but it looks so nice in white that I don't want to spoil it.

Also, I owe a big thanks to sparkychan for the great Turbo Everdrive hookup.

I like how the letters are recessed. You can paint it however you choose. Looks really nice. Does it snap on "tightly", or is a loose fit? I know you say it snaps on tight, but is it really tight, or will it come off easily?

It's so tight that you have to really pull to get it off. I just picked mine up by the shell and shook the hell out of it to test. It feels like it's glued on there. Dogp did such a great job designing it that from the side it looks like the two were cut together with a lathe.

I just noticed that a few of the pictures are slightly out of focus. The recessed letters and designs are all sharp and defined in person.

Damn! You can make it from a ton of stuff (platsic/resin/metal/glass/etc.. on that site even shiny gold plate for a mere $198 lol but yeah from $6+ and a shit ton of customization is pretty damn cool.

Gold plated TurboED cover. It'd be just like owning a copy of Magical Chaise!

Goo! shipping costs just as much as the actual plastic part. How did you get the shipping to be $3?

NightWolve · 02/11/2015, 09:34 PM

~~Ah, they're in France. Yeah, $6.50 for shipping with UPS. I think this calls for a group buy! jtucci ??? Anyone ??~~

Wait, no, there's another office in San Fran. How did you get $3 bucks shipping, Smoke ???

Ya they could just throw it in a bubble envelope and be done. But even at $14 total seems still a good deal!

a very awesome case and it looks well with the duo r!

I ordered mine back in November, so they must have raised the shipping cost. That sucks, sorry to get everyone's hopes up.

There is a 10% discount if you fill out their survey though. $0.60...hmm.

How fuzzy is it? I ask because if it's like most 3D printed white stuff it's going to get really grungy really quickly if you don't paint it.

Dicer · 02/11/2015, 11:08 PM

I'd love one done without the recessed text so I can print my own sticker...

Maybe a tad fuzzy. I hadn't noticed until you mention it. A painting is in order then.

NightWolve · 02/12/2015, 12:11 AM

Shipping could be cheaper than $6.50 but they're only offering 2-day Express with UPS so that would be why. Maybe they had an option for regular 5-day service when Smoke ordered his. Well, very tempting still, am thinking about it...

imparanoic · 02/12/2015, 12:55 AM

I presume shipping cost to uk or HK should be reasonable

SmokeMonster · 02/12/2015, 03:10 AM

It also has a hole for the LED to shine through.

I ordered one. At 12.73 if it fits on the everdrive cleanly it should be worth it.

Keith Courage · 02/22/2015, 07:33 PM

This is great. Now we need someone to upload the dimensions of some DUO hu card covers

Please?

Well, my Turbo Everdrive is on its way to a new owner, might get there manana, if not Tuesday... Will be waiting for TEv2 and I suspect all these cover designs will be invalidated. Glad I didn't buy one. :/

DragonmasterDan · 02/23/2015, 01:43 PM

I got a shipping notification mine.

TurboGrafx · 02/23/2015, 05:04 PM

DragonmasterDan · 02/25/2015, 06:08 PM

Got mine today, had to snap off a tiny piece on the end that was getting stuck with the duo power lock switch went in. Once I got it off it fits on fine.

Yeah, my duo came in yesterday and I noticed that right away too.

This is the corner protrusion that must be filed down or removed to make it compatible with the Duo's lock.

I just bent it with enough force and it snapped right off
