Sega Neptune 3D Model

[IrishNinja]

Something that hasn't been addressed in this thread yet is the internal electronics. That proto shell looks awfully low profile to fit the original Genesis mobo plus a 32X board on top along with the necessary cartridge pins. I would think that issue needs investigated before going ahead with a 3D printing plan for the shells.

hadn't considered that...stupid question but didn't the mobo trim down by the time of the model 3?

Hey there! I'm that guy who traveled from Russia to Las Vegas and made these hi-res photos of Neptune. You can download ALL stuff regarding the Neptune that I've captured on the expo (the archive is 2 GB): ftp://ftp.valet2.com/neptune_stuff.zip

I'm glad that it's became useful for the fans!

update?

99% sure he's making a mesh model, not a solid. So there's next to no chance of you guys getting a printed part.

Has there been ANY UPDATES to the Neptune's shell?

I'm surprised nobody has brought this up, but there already is a reimagining of the Neptune shell:

It's not difficult to make a solid from a mesh model. Unfortunately you just end up with a block of whatever which needs to be dealt with.

The real problem would come with working out all the standoffs, screw bosses, support walls, etc. That is where the real work would start :/
