CV1000 Enclosure

Actually, yes. 68k Cave games should be very easy, and similarly licensable. I'll put it on the list.

Well, you have one sale then

Woah congrats on the official stamp of approval! It's a great looking bit of kit. Consider me interested in one when you eventually get them going for sale!

I didn't consider how cool of an enclosure could be made with a UV printer + Hotdog Storm inspiration, holy moly.

Short and sweet: agreement has been signed. This will be officially licensed and approved by Cave. Purchasing information will come soon!

If there is enough interest:
- UV printed color logo instead of engraved
- molded corners instead of printed

There will also be an optional maple wood tray that will allow the enclosed PCB to nest inside the original cardboard boxes.

Congrats mate! I know how hard you’ve been working for this.

The UV logo sounds nice with the red/green coloring. But keen to see some mockups when you’re ready!

Wow!

Wow indeed. Very cool.

These look super clean. The 68k cases should be next

This is an absolutely amazing effort @plasticfactory!!!!! Thanks for taking this on!

Not to keep teasing, but things have progressed a bit with Cave. It is looking like the following options will be available:

• Enclosure, as pictured but with a UV printed full color logo
• optional maple plywood base so the enclosed PCB can nest in the box
• optional reproduction Cave box, with logos and original printing
• optional box protector (thanks @fuzzbuddy for helping with this one)

There should be an interest check within a week -- they have been very responsive lately. From there, things will simply be produced. No preorders, there will be initial inventory to be purchased from a storefront. Other users such as @djsheep will help with non-US distribution.

In the meantime, M92 multi enclosure and PGM repro shells need to be done.

M92 multi enclosure

 

[plasticfactory]

I had to step back from almost everything earlier this year. I shouldn't have even posted about it. It's next up on the design schedule.

The M92 Multi can really use a protective enclosure. That boardset is a beast when all installed. It's also multi-layered with ribbon cables sticking out to connect things up. Protect this boardset, at all costs!

Looks amazing, I‘m for sure interested
