Banapassport Replacement Extra Buttons Panel for Namco Noir

[notsonic]

This replaces the entire Banapassport card reader and its bracket with a shell and panel for extra buttons. The panel fits pretty snug inside the shell, but you may want to glue it in place.



I've got a few different panel options included. 4x24mm buttons, 2x24mm with square USB ports, and 2x24mm with round USB ports. I'm happy to take any suggestions for different panel layouts.

I printed it on a Prusa MK3S+ using PETG and the 0.3mm DRAFT settings.

Here's some of the design iterations I went through for anyone interested. First I started with a single piece and 30mm buttons. Shrank it down to 24. Then when I started adding details there was no good flat surface to print without supports, so I split it into the current 2 piece. Then I added all the details with rounded edges and mounting holes. I also thickened up the panel from 1mm to 3mm since it was pretty flexible with PET.

Awesome, thank you!

I'm still waiting on parts to come in (different buttons and usb ports) but I've been messing around with the layout and color options.

The frame is still black pet but I found an almost metallic silver pla (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QGV6D8P) to try to mimic the metallic overlay. Metallic silver or blue buttons also go pretty well, especially with the black rim. I also tried adding a lil pac man to take up space. I'll update the first post with the STLs when I can confirm the USB port holes.

Freaking awesome!!!

I updated the first post with a new zip of the panels with USB ports.

That's really neat. I might have to toss something similar in my Grigios. The panel looks similar enough.

Awesome I was looking to model this my self, but had not got around to it. do you also want to share the step files?

 

[notsonic]

I made it in Tinkercad which doesn't export step files.

Nicely done, I had helped out a buddy with the same thing. I can share these here if yall like.
They use 12mm buttons and the same components like the vewlix subpanel.
Oh, you would also need some threaded inserts. It uses the existing screws to mount.

Thanks!

Why have these holes?

I modeled it after the original. Its for the leds to shine through. The sticker is quite thick so you dont notice it.
