Sinizar · 10/23/2015, 01:32 PM

Sounds good, I will check back now and then or if he messages me hopefully it will pop up in my email.

PCEngineFX · 11/18/2015, 05:37 PM

Heya everyone - this is the LAST CALL I'm taking for HuCard cases for 2015. If you want them, you have until this FRIDAY 11/20 to order what you want. As before, please PM me your order.

PCEngineFX · 12/02/2015, 04:20 PM

These look nice, I'd like to buy some in the future and give some of my loose games homes.

sn0zc0r3 · 12/09/2015, 12:39 PM

Just got mine yesterday and I couldn't be happier with them.

Thanks!

Oh yes, I plan on continuing to offer them in 2016 - I'm going to be on vacation starting the 16th, so that's why I closed orders for the rest of the year.

IrishNinja · 12/25/2015, 05:55 PM

aw, so awesome to see this finally took off! and it's probably a good thing orders are done for now, i've got to pay down holiday stuff & sort out how many i'd need, haha

PCEngineFX · 01/04/2016, 01:51 AM

Orders have now re-opened for 2016! As before, please PM me with your order.

MotherGunner · 01/10/2016, 12:24 AM

Hi Aaron, any more Blue and White to be offered?

I stopped offering the other colors, but sure - just send me your order details and I'll make it happen.

PCEngineFX · 02/01/2016, 12:28 PM

Don from Starr Mazer TV was kind enough to do a show & tell about my 3D printed HuCard cases recently in his live Twitch show on 1/30.

Episode: http://www.twitch.tv/starrmazer/v/38813896 (skip to 38min to get to the HuCard segment)

NecroPhile · 02/01/2016, 12:49 PM

Neato. I'm not familiar with the game, but it's cool that he's planning a physical version made to look like a huey with case, box, etc.

blueraven · 02/02/2016, 12:31 AM

That's cool.

Reporting on them a year later they've become a conversation piece a few times with retrogamers, and maker enthusiasts. They've held up incredibly well despite my constant playing (opening, closing, etc.) of the games that I posted earlier in the thread.

Glad to hear the blue and white ones are still available, and thanks for putting out such a great product!

Umbrella_inc · 02/11/2016, 08:11 PM

Pcenginefx, I am interested in buying two sets of your 3d printed hu-card cases. Per your instructions in the first posting I sent you a PM a few days ago, just wanted to post here as well to confirm you got the message.

Got it - replying to your PM now....sorry been off the site for a bit.

Scarletspeedstr · 03/03/2016, 06:49 PM

PM sent on 2/24. Let me know if you didn't receive, thanks!

ginoscope · 03/10/2016, 04:15 PM

Just got my cases yesterday and I wanted to say that they exceeded my expectations.

My loose hueys have a new home....

Scarletspeedstr · 04/24/2016, 02:06 PM

Two months. I'm assuming this isn't happening any more?

He's a busy guy, be patient and try him again.

Brummy · 06/30/2016, 10:02 PM

Is this a dead project? - I tried messaging several times in last 2-3 months but no answer even when it shows he's logged in several times.

Does someone else maybe have some 3D printer files to make these they might want to sell??

PCEngineFX · 07/08/2016, 02:45 PM

Hi all - I'm still offering the cases but took my printers offline for a while. I just fired them back up last night and am just verifying the prints are coming out right. Will update here once I'm ready to accept new orders.

PCEngineFX · 07/12/2016, 03:57 PM

Just an update...

Finishing up tweaking of the prints to sell once again. Each case takes 2hrs to print currently as I've made them slightly better/stronger than before.

Jonest3 · 08/10/2016, 09:42 PM

These look awesome!

Hey shadow, FYI, if you pm'ed Aaron about this, you're too late as this subject came up when we were working on helping the Henshin Engine Kickstarter project. He stopped making these and isn't interested in resuming, so FYI if you don't hear back from him.

tjsnh · 10/26/2016, 10:22 AM

Looks like the OP isn't making these anymore - anyone have any idea where to get similar repro/replacement/whatever HuCard jewel cases?

Johnpv · 10/27/2016, 07:46 AM

Since they're not making these any more any chance of sharing the 3D File to print our own?

shadowfire36 · 10/29/2016, 01:35 AM

damn it

kallisti5 · 02/06/2017, 03:42 PM

+1 hope that he shares the design on a site like Thingiverse.com My Ultimaker 2 is bored and needs things to print for my PC Engine.

I was imitating Pat Contri when he realized how much ass he sucks when he's doing anything unscripted. I'm trying to find that thread now actually when he was doing those LP's

Quote from: NightWolve on 04/14/2017, 11:13 PMDelayed reaction ? ;)

I took the availability of these for granted

But hey it's good a service like this was even offered, kudos to Aaron for making these for so long.
I'm just looking into the whole process now, it's interesting. Especially all the counterparts, like the arms and custom plastic fronting.

TelcoSurveyor · 06/14/2017, 02:06 PM

Can someone 3d print a time machine so I can go back and order some of these?

compil3r · 07/21/2017, 07:36 PM

I also vote for the 3D file to be shared

*edit* Found these on EvilBay:

I'm in the process of printing some. I have the 3D file all ready I just need to find a new printer, then fine tune the models demensions to support the new printer

That's kinda neat - gotta link? I assume it's a tray insert thing, meant to fit within the back half of a normal jewel case.

Cool, thanks. $10 is rather steep for a single case though.

escarioth · 12/22/2017, 12:26 PM

oh damn, i was about to write him for a small order :S

CZroe · 01/13/2018, 06:29 PM

I'm all for people seeing a need and filling a need being entitled to the fruits of their labor, but is there still no open design to 3D print these? All of my HuCard/TurboChips are loose so I don't have an original to base mine on (yet). I like TheCoverProject's DVD inserts but don't like that the cards are just loose in there. Being able to use CD cases will let me mix with original cases and CD-ROM^2 cases as I expand my collection.
