not quite Sudomod, but as my build is for my son i'm trying to make it presentable as posible...

so i'm trying to have my build with the sd card in the cart (which is going a bit hit/miss at the moment, may have to bite the bullet and buy a premade cart pcb) so i'm hoping to present it with a game box with the cart inside (providing i can get the cart working consistantly)

so i found the game cart box template online, and heres one of the ones i had printed on card to see how it cuts up and is easlily bent into shape....

thanks... i did also notice it, and a couple of other errors....

this one was just printed to see how it would turn out, it still a work in progress plus i had a feeling i would have issues with the card as the retail boxes are normally machine pressed to indent the edges (i was right, these can be seen in these pics)

plus its not the final design i may go with (still undecided)....

thanks.... i personally dont feel comfortable selling or asking for money, i'm not a designer by trade and feel its a bit money grabbing to sell to a fellow member, after all we are a community here (my personal opinion, not having a swipe or dig at anyone... each to their own)

i've uploaded the templates i used for anyone to use (i got them off the net anyway)


https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing


it would be nice to see other designs

Thankyou very much dude, this is awesome.

Going to flick the kettle on and start designing right away :mrgreen:

Great stance on the sharing, its much appreciated.

Yours is looking great btw. Was doing some digging and found this:

May help with the type of card / finish to use and how to get nice folds (scouring the back of the card).

thanks....

i got the scoring right it was just the card being slightly too thick

i think the card i used was over 400gsm, the edges didn't come out crisp but its a work in progress and and i'm gonna try the 350gsm...

Nice! Looks like 350gsm silk is the way to go! Will tracks yours as it develops. Ive moved to Aus now so hoping OfficeWorks etc can do a decent job when i come to print out.

thanks...

i got mine printed from a local printer (Mom & Pop). so i think OfficeWorks will be fine

looking forward to your design
