+LS650 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 A week or so ago I noticed an etsy seller selling 3D-printed cartridge holders for a variety of systems, including the Jag. At any given moment, I might have a half-dozen carts sitting loose next to the Jaguar on my coffee table, so I thought this might be a great idea. https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/664887600/atari-jaguar-fancy-slanted-game-holder I ordered one and when I get it, I'll post a little review... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Nice!! Looks slick. I generally prefer UGCs for storage but for half a dozen games that are "one deck" to be played I really like this idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Now that i have a 3D printer, I've been looking around for various Atari related projects, but not everyone uploads their designs to Thingiverse. I did snag the 5200 dual controller print from there, and it works pretty well (Robotron 2084 and Space Dungeon are SO much better with two controllers like this) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gummy Bear Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 It's a nice idea. If the cart were vertical, with enough of a gap to see the labels I'd be very interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+LS650 Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 If you look on thingiverse you can find the .stl files to print it yourself. I don't have access to a 3D-printer so I figured I might as well buy it from this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew954 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I was about to say the same thing. I bought my Dad a 3D printer for Christmas and downloaded an .stl file for one. (probably the same one lol) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Has anyone printed end labels for Jaguar like they do for Nintendo 64? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Saturn Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Has anyone printed end labels for Jaguar like they do for Nintendo 64? Had these a few years ago. Don't know if they're still available. Edit: Looks like there's 2 atm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew954 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 So did you print one, and if so, what do you think of it? Is it sized well for the carts, etc? So far I haven't tried it. I was thinking of printing one out tomorrow on my day off. I've been curious about it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew954 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 So I loaded my jaguar cart holder stl file into Cura, and sliced it ready for printing. Due to the size limitations of the printer I have. The data file can only be printed on its side and placed diagonally on the build plate. My build plate specs are 210x210x205mm. The holder is just ever so barely too large for my build plate. Total print time would be about 31 hours for my printer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I miss having a working 3D printer at times. Then I read things like "print time 31 hours" and realize, no, I really don't miss it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+af0l Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I printed that one from thingiverse. It took a day, got warped in the process and now sits sadly on my desk collecting dust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I printed that one from thingiverse. It took a day, got warped in the process and now sits sadly on my desk collecting dust So, like 99% of everything 3D printed then? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+af0l Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Hah! I beg to differ I also have a gotek holder i designed/remixed in the MSTE. It would be pretty if I could get the correct color filament, now it's just - white. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UHATEIT Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 That's pretty slick. Tho it is unfortunate you can't see the labels enough. I was never a fan of the curvy end labels but when you see games for other systems like the Genesis and can read the game at the top it's quite nice!

+LS650 Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 I received this cartridge holder for the Atari Jaguar yesterday. I have to say I have mixed feelings about it.... It does look pretty good and I like the design. However, I think it is just a smidge too small. To insert carts is difficult: I find that the slots are very, very snug. If I push a cart all the way into a slot, it takes a tremendous amount of force to pry the cart back out. The slots should really be at least a couple more millimeters wider and longer. Pretty disappointing. I wrote to the etsy vendor, and all he wrote back was essentially, "Gosh that's too bad - for future orders we'll try printing at 101% or 102% so the carts fit better." So, yeah, I can't recommend the vendor. If you print your own from the files on thingiverse, you might well have a better experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
