These are mini replicas of Super Nintendo game cartridges.
I show them in my mini SNES project video, and blog post.
They're 40% of actual size and were made to house NFC tags for my Raspberry Pi Mini SNES console.
I've included a few different models, both variations of North American cart, aswell as the European/Super Famicom style.
Files with the 'one_piece' suffix can be printed upright as a single piece.
I prefer to print mine in two halves and super glue them together. Some of the details are better captured when printed flat.
The cart pins help align the halves for gluing.
I printed the labels on 120gsm paper, and laminated them with clear packing tape for a glossy look.
I attached the labels with gel-type super glue.
The European carts were printed with Hatchbox Grey PLA and the North American carts were printed with Faberdashery Storm Grey PLA.
If you print the carts flat, some support is helpful for the cartridge opening. It's a straight bridge about 40mm, so you might be ok without any.
The flat Euro carts can benefit from smaller layer heights to improve the curve.
I haven't printed the upright carts, but they are optimised for 0.2mm layer height and without support.
I printed mine flat with 10% infill and lots of top layers.
