You can buy your own material, or several laser cut stores provide their own materials. I'm very happy with the results, even for large boards like Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. For the second iteration, I used 4mm thickness clear acrylic. So, I moved to something more compact and lightweight.
It looks very well, but I think that adds too much weight to the final results. You can experiment with wood or metals and let me know the results to include on this documentation.Ĭlear Acrylic between 4mm and 6mm of thickness is very good.įor my first case, I used 6mm thickness clear acrylic. But you can use other colors, even other material that can be cut with the laser cut machine. I really like how the clear acrylic looks for these cases because they let you see all the PCB parts and its beauty. We must choose the file sunset_riders_reverse_m4.eps that you can find on this link Step 2: Laser cut the case Taking all this into account, let's suppose we want to make a case for a Sunset Riders board, using M4 screws and engraving the logo from the inside of the top case. Note that the holes to mount a fan or cooler on boards like Killer Instinct are always M4 (4mm) because that is the standard for those devices. _cps_small files are for Capcom CPS1 games with the later small Dash A Board._cps_big files are for Capcom CPS1 games with the big first version of A Board._m4 files are for M4 screw holes (4mm)._m3 files are for M3 screw holes (3mm)._reverse files are for engraving the logo from the inside of the top case._normal files are for engraving the logo from the outside of the top case.For example, Capcom CPS1 games can have the big first revision of the A Board or the little Dash A Board with the 12Mhz processor.īased on the previous criteria, you must select the file looking at the tags on the filename: Plans file name labels: If your game has specific PCB revisions or variations that have different sizes or hole locations.The side of the top case where you want to engrave the logo of the game (from the outside or from the inside).The size of the screws you are going to use to mount the case (M3 (3mm) or M4 (4mm)).The file you need to chose will depend on 3 factors: On each game, you must select only one file to make the case. On the games forlder of this repository, you will find a subfolder containing the plans of each available game. Let's make our own case, step by step Step 1: Select the plan
