Cartridge shell demand

[Uzumaki]

Heh

 

I would like to see NES carts. I can't get used cart locally anymore since most of them stopped carrying NES and those that still do, price them by eBay rate. I don't want to pay $5 for a Duck Hunt/SMB cart just for the shell.

 

However demand won't be high until someone can mass produce useable EPROM capatiable boards since it's also a PITA it desolder and remove 2 old ROM chips, modify EPROM chips, and solder them in. There's no room for socket inside a cart case so there's no room for error.

 

Do dump the old grey. Aside from the 2 Zelda game (black with gold paint), I don't think any licensed NES cart came in anything beside grey. Famicom carts came in just about every colors and even transparent colors.

NES carts are freakin everywhere. Go to any yard sale and you'll see a stack of them.

The quote I got in Texas was about $130,000 for a 2+2 cavity mold.

Unless you know someone who owns a tool and dye shop.

 

The real problem is finding a person who is a tool and die mold maker in the US.There are only about 3000 left....

My Wife's Uncle owns his own shop about 100 miles from me.

I'd love to be able to buy different coloured Vectrex cases (translucent blue + LED lighting (aka Tron controller) )

 

Sean Kelly has the mold, but only has them made in black

Any status of progress being made on anything?

For $130,000 you can buy your own CNC machine and make molds all day long for the cost of material. Someone was trying to take you for a ride

No, the 4 nozzle that was required to reduce waste. Each cost $20,000. I needed 2 of them. That would have been a quarter of the cost. The design of the mold was for > 1,000,000 units. Guaranteed to 100,000 units. Now, if I was only using it for a few hundred or thousand units, I would cut corners and go cheap. Also the $130,000 was for 3 molds in total. 2 of which would have been a 2+2 cavity mold. I doubt I am getting taken for a ride since I got 3 quotes and 2 of them in the US was only 10,000 apart. The quote from China was $75,000.

 

Tell me how much it would cost to make the item below.

[PacMan]

This is the website for the above item. That is my wifes invention.

[ewing92]

ahh, i had an invention with my cousin, it was about to all go through, if it wasn't for the $695 fee to get a patent on it.

[walter_J64bit]

The Jag need some cartridge shell too.

How come you only got it made for smaller boobs? (serious question) I'm sure my wife would love one of those but she is a 38 DD and that thing would be lucky to hold one of the cups let alone trying to get 2 in there

Hello All,

 

I was thinking of making a new type of Atari 2600 cart shell, one that would be more portable for the people who own portable Atari 2600's or just want to be able to carry alot of carts. I did this photoshop picture to show what it would look like:

 

Actual Cart Size:

 

 

Board Size:

 

 

Minicart Size

 

 

The shell would just snap around any board removed from a standard cart and would just pop into your Atari. I looked into the cost and it's about Ten Grand to make the mold and about .50 per unit so there would have to be a huge demand in order to justify the cost.

 

Would anyone be interested in these type of carts?

[BuddyBuddies]

the jaguar could use some extra shells as well

[zeitshabba]

What method is being used to create these?

Is it not possible to create them via plastic injection molding for less?
