I made 3d printable cases for video adapters from UltimateMister and Retrocastle

Unread post by Allejo »

Hi guys! First of all, happy new year for everybody, let's hope 2024 will be a great year for FPGA gaming :D

So I made 3d printable cases for the active Y/C adapter from Retrocastle (https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005005267629034.html), the passive Y/C adapter from UltimateMister (https://ultimatemister.com/product/mike ... ive-board/) and the Ultimate VGA to YPbPr adapter (https://ultimatemister.com/product/ulti ... component/). Soyou don't need to worry about them collecting dust or accidentally damaging them anymore ;)

They are totally free and I've also included the .f3d files, so anyone can easily modify them if they want.

The download links are as follow:

Active Y/C adapter from Retrocastle: https://www.printables.com/model/701951 ... etrocastle

Passive Y/C adapter from UltimateMister: https://www.printables.com/model/702090 ... ultimatemi

Ultimate VGA to YPbPr adapter: https://www.printables.com/model/702061 ... er-sold-by

I'd like to thank so much Mike Simone and Stupid Dufus for helping me with a question I had regarding one of the adapters in another thread.

I hope these can be useful for you guys :)

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! I didn't know Retrocastle made an active adapter. I ordered one. Now to see if I can have your design printed somewhere.

Cool! Look clean. What FDM printer was used for the ones in the pictures?

I used a Creality K1 and printed with normal PLA

I just received the RetroCastle adapter today and to my surprise it has a housing. Not the same as your design though.

Looking at their Aliexpress product page, I see that is now an option that costs more. So I was lucky, really nice gesture.

Heads-up for people getting one, the VGA port on it is male, so you need a female to male VGA cable to connect it to the MiSTer.

The case from Retrocastle is the one I made actually, zhangch from Retrocastle asked me on Twitter if he could use my design and I let him. The design he used is the one from the photo in my first post, but I think because he used black material (PLA or ABS) and a texurized printer bed it looks a bit different from the photo I posted, but if you look carefully you'll notice it's exactly the same (same proportions, same text, same type of buttons, etc) :D

That is awesome! I'm quite happy I don't have to look for a 3D printing service. The case looks great!
