If soarer or hasu supports it then yes
Anyone need 270 din as well?
Soarer

I would be willing to test out but I'm also in the USA.

Shipping will be $2.50 USD, 17$ USD total, about the same in Australia actually
The case itself is only 22mm when closed but when split into two halves sits at a comfortable 11mm each. I can easily cram it into a load of HDPE foam and ship it safely.

Looks good!
Will you try to make an 'Ultimate Converter Box' as well? (with all socket options)

I will. It will be a plug into ps2 type adapter with some switches if you need them. Do I really need to have on and off switches for each of the ports on the 5v lines?
I will have at least 5-6 ports flanking the converter. I will try to make some special magnetic mounting hole or even change out the top for this. It should make it much more compact and modular without wasting valuable space.
Anyways, STL is on the front page.

Notice: Production of blue PLA parts will be paused until a week after due to my Uni going on holidays for that week. Also means I can't mass produce during that time.
But I still have my trashy prusa
The first alpha test batch will be mostly Black PLA and Gray PLA/Blue PLA alongside some small amounts of red ABS sample. The ABS isn't exactly that good of a quality however as the filament is for some stupid reason degrading at high temperatures and jamming at low ones......

Haha, thanks guys. I'm laying back for a bit for a lot of uni projects and work I have to hand in for the next two weeks. But do expect the industrial gray variant in PLA very soon!
Let's just say that the white color combinations don't look too good (at least to me). Kinda... Not beige enough... as off it came straight outta the kkk
The next big part of the project is designing a universal multi plug adapter for nearly EVERYTHING that has an AT/XT/PS2 scancodes.
That will take ages to make though... Easter break means mailing speed cancer

Hey, guess what kids! Magnets have arrived! They have just enough force such that it will fly open when you try to bend the microusb port up or down too much! Good news: They fit perfectly
Bad News: Still half of them are unaccounted for xd

Hey guys, I have rev 1.1 in the workings! Good news too, I managed to get my 3d printer at home to print at quite a high quality too. Been taking a while to work it properly

Very nice project Wingklip, thanks for sharing the models for printing!

There is a very small tolerance error which causes the two halves to mate with a very small 0.1mm gap. Fixed it in the later models though, unless someone wants it shipped with the 1.0 original version

Wow I dont know how I didnt see this before but this project is cool as hell. Those models look nice btw. Voted and will definitely buy a few of these

Today is a historic day - the first time I will be shipping anything to anyone in the world! Scottex will be the first to receive a sample in agreement to a trade for a much desperately needed SDL cable!
