    WTB Killer instint acrylic case

    Quick update for everyone following this thread. The Wolf Unit case is done. I designed it around my UMK3 board, so as HardAzRockz confirmed, it should fit NBA Maximum Hangtime, WWF Wrestlemania and any other Wolf PCB as well. Same recipe as the other cases in the series: Printed in a premium...

    Mortal Kombat 4 PCB case (3D printed, carbon fiber) - Stark Retro Lab

    Hey everyone, Following the Killer Instinct and CPS3 cases I posted a while ago, here is the next one in the series: a dedicated case for the Mortal Kombat 4 PCB. The goal is the same as always: keep the board protected, dust free and easy to grab from the shelf and plug into the cab or...

    WTB Killer instint acrylic case

    Good to know all the WOLF PCBs share the same dimensions, that makes things a lot easier. I'll base the design on the UMK3 I have here then. That Qidi MAX4 is a great machine, and that build volume is perfect for PCB cases, you won't have to split parts like a lot of people do. If you ever run...

    Perfect! Then leave it with me. I’ll work on the case design and share the project here soon. Thanks for confirming!

    WTB Killer instint acrylic case

    Thank you very much! MK1 is already in the project queue. I’ve already designed an adapter that mounts the sound board above the main board, keeping them securely stacked together. This should make the complete board set more compact and easier to protect inside the case. I actually made an MK2...

    WTB Killer instint acrylic case

    Yes, I can design a case for the Midway Wolf Unit PCB. I have access to an Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 board here, which should use the same board layout. If you can send me some clear photos and measurements of your PCB, we can confirm together that the overall dimensions match. Once we verify...

    WTB Killer instint acrylic case

    If you're open to something beyond acrylic: I designed a fully enclosed 3D-printed case in carbon fiber PETG for my own Killer Instinct board measured directly from the real hardware, with active cooling built in (dual Noctua fans over the CPU, those boards run hot), magnetic access hatches and...

    Custom cases for CPS2 and CPS3 - turning bare boards into "Arcade Cartridges"

    Good eye and fair question, because on my very first cases that was exactly the problem: some edge connector housings were slightly wider than the opening, and I had to revise the design. Since then I've tested against every edge connector I have here Hirose and various generic housings, which...

    Custom cases for CPS2 and CPS3 - turning bare boards into "Arcade Cartridges"

    Thank you! That was exactly the goal. One consistent design language across the whole family, so the cases look like they came from the same "factory". And when the time comes, just send me a PM, the CPS2 case is already available made-to-order, and the CPS3 should be finished next week.
