I decided to create some external storage cards for a friend for holding the Turbo CD backup library outside of main storage. I picked up some jewel cases and 3D printed this from ThingVerse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2842336

I then picked up a pack of 20 credit card USB drives: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XC829JS/ (he has nearly a full US collection and a sizeable but relatively small JP collection, so the 32GB was enough. They match the dimensions of a HuCard exactly...on paper at least.)

There are a number of CD label templates online and I found one I really like, but I won't link directly to the video as it advocates getting Photoshop from less-than-legal means. Searching for TurboGrafx 16 Jewel Case will bring up the vid and the links to the PSDs.

Finally, I couldn't find a template for the HuCard label so I made one (attached). I really liked how it turned out. Apologies if this has been done already and I'm retreading old news.

This is really cool!
Thank you for sharing!

Thanks! I had to increase the dimensions on the 3D print to 100.4%. It's a touch too small. Other than that, it's all coming together well!

I finished the prototype.

Front: Back: Inside: Card (opened):
You'll notice a few mistakes. Especially the inside of the case, where you can see the backing of the sticker paper I accidentally printed on. Also, the edges on the sticker are not clean cut and there's no glossy overlay on the sticker paper. But this is, essentially, the final product.

Nice work, looks great!

I updated the PSD to add genres that match the old color coding on the TG-16. The font used is Blambot's BadaBoom, downloadable for free here: https://blambot.com/products/badaboom?_ ... 2ecb&_ss=r

I also created a TG 16 jewel case storage/shipping box for 3D printing. I'm not super well versed with CAD yet, but I've printed it and it works well.

Attached STL files. I put a non-logo version up on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4614822

The print takes about 7 hours on an Artillery Sidewinder X1 with 18% infill.

Excellent work and a nice idea, I've got a special person in mind who I think will really like this as a gift, so many thanks for sharing.

Glad to hear it! I'm going to be doing a special run for a game designer friend of mine who is SUPER into TG16 and wants to put his game on a 'HuCard'. I'll post final photos when that project is done as well!
