Super NT Cartridge Inserts (JPN/EUR/US)

The Super NT is great, but cartridges sit rather sloppily in the machine. Accidentally moving a cartridge while fiddling with some cables can crash your game, and you don't want that, now, do you!

I've made these inserts so that cartridges fit more snugly.

There's now a model for EUR/JPN and one for USA.

Blender and STL files are included.

Please do let me know if you have any problems!

Disclaimer although I've taken care to ensure that cartridges are not damaged, there is an inherent risk of scratching cartidges when using these inserts. If you find that the cartridges you own are too snug, you can file down or shrink the front extrusions, which have been put in place for exactly this reason. Another idea might be to use a more rubbery plastic, such as PETG or even a Flexifill. I have not noticed any scratches on any SNES, Super Famicom, US or GD/PowerPak cartridges, but mileage may vary depending on your printer and cartridge. At least one user of the v2 cartridge reported scratches, so please do take care and test your print thoroughly.

Notes:

• Notice that the v4 designs lock into place.For easy removal of the insert, press down both of the lids, then lift.
• The new v4 design does away with the thin rear wall from v1/v2, which should

make it a bit easier to print, as well as being a more rigid design.

• Finally included a US cartridge spacer as well - sorry it took so long!
• The original design (v2; SNES only) was avery tight fit, and some cartridges

such as the Bung Game Doctor adapter didn't fit at all. I hope I've made

a design that's in-between too hard and too loose. Your mileage may vary

• I've not bothered to make a "lid" for v4 models. At least not yet
• These inserts "sit on the floor" of the Super NT bay, and so the cartridge

actually sits 1mm higher than usual on the cartridge connector
