Sega Neptune 3D Model

[wiggyx]

Looks like a good start. The area around the cart port looks to be missing some definition (the "valley" formed by the shape of the shell looks a tad shallow). Other than that, nothing stands out as off or not quite right as best I can tell.

Very cool! If you get it finished it would be awesome if it could be imported to a 3D printer and printed out for those of us who make Neptune consoles.

What is the Sega Neptune again? Was that a Prototype Saturn? My memory of the mid 90s Sega stuff is hazy.

it was a genesis and 32x all in one thingy.

Oh. I never had a 32x, but I thought the thing was a pass through device like the Power Base Converter.

So what exactly is this project all about? Redesigning a 3D printable shell for something that doesn't exist?

[Cornelius]

Pretty sure there was an official prototype (two?), so it 'exists', just not available at all. And the 32x was more than a pass-through, but did slot in like the power base. Lastly, people have made/make functional "Neptune equivalents", combining Genesis and 32x hardware in a single shell.

Cool project! Almost enough to get me interested in the 32x. Almost.

Wiggy, print some of those shells and put your magic touch to produce fully functionning neptunes!
