So a while ago, right after I ordered my Retroid, I quickly realized that there are no boxes available that fit my needs, so I decided to make one using my 3D printer. This was the result:

But since then I got some accessories for it and wanted it to have a bit more space for those, plus I upgraded my printer to now be able to print TPU Inserts, so I took the chance to renew my old design. Here are the results:

Here a comparison in thickness between the two:

Your new prints turned out much better than the old ones. Nice work. What printer did you upgrade to?

  The old one is printed on my standard Voxelab Aquila. The new one also is printed on the same Voxelab Aquila, but heavily modified in the meantime (DirectDrive, PEI bed, Enclosure, Filament dryer, Octoprint, Electronics placed outside the enclosure for better cooling and so on…)

  For anyone interested in the upgrading process of my Aquila… I just posted my printer

The box looks suspiciously similar to the rugged case from Thingiverse.

  That’s because the base of my model is whity‘s parametric box (but from printables. It’s also linked to my model). I modified it‘s dimensions and added the divider + TPU Inserts + Logo on top, so that it fits the Retroid. But I don’t know the model from thingiverse, do you have a link? Is there a exact copy of my Retroid box?

    No, don’t worry it’s not a model of your Retroid version. It’s the base parametric box like you mentioned. I will link you what I’m referencing here in a bit.
