Here’s the latest clear cases. Given how long this has dragged out, and that I think new shells are coming later this year from a couple sources, I’m going to stop my work on this. My mold guy wants to make molds but isn’t so interested in producing the actual parts. Given all my other projects, I’m pausing this one.

Latest iteration. Some tradeoffs, but the mini shroud works much better than I was expecting.

Hi Everyone,
It was really impressive to see what people came up with given the display limitations. It was tough to decide and I know everyone put in a lot of work into these. One did bubble to the top for me.
Congrats to Mirai604 for the WarioLand labels. I’m declaring him the winner of the b/w/r contest. I’m specifically showing the N3 label below, which I liked the most and had a great blend of the colors, game theme, and a strong 3D perspective. I also really enjoyed the VB loading screen aspect. The badge included was also a clever addition. It really feels like it was made for a production b/w/r HF32 cart.
So congrats to Mirari604!
In other news, the eInk manufacturer may have some exciting news on b/w/r labels…
I should hopefully find out this week. I’ll keep it a secret for now. 🙂
Thanks,
Kevin

OK, he’s the last of the updates for the contest. Nice job everyone! I think everyone showed that yes you can make some good labels given the limitations of a tri-color eInk screen. I’ll post the winner tomorrow. Thanks!
OK, here are some of the Red Menace labels. I picked the ones I thought looked the best.
The Teleroboxer ones look really clean on the b/w/r display.
Some more Fwow13 labels. Looking good!

Here’s Mirai604 images converted. They’re all good but nd3 is really good. Love it.

Here’s that COTS connector in a shell to help position it correctly. It’s working and I’m playing Bound High on one of my 16Mbit PCBs. Next steps are to try to see if I can get it to work with a regular VB case. Some bonding/gluing that needs to be figured out, as well as some revisions on the frame to add a back cover. I could build my own carts right now with this. I may want to spin the PCBs to use the memory that is in place on HF32 to give the case some more thickness over the chip. I’ll keep playing.
My 3D printed cases are coming out much cleaner now.

Fwow13 labels. The red looks beautiful!
