I made a case for Retro Remake’s four-port N64 SNAC adapter
I recently bought the N64 SNAC adapter from Retro Remake for my SuperStation One. It works well, but I have kids who I want to be able to use it, so leaving the PCB, mounting holes, and solder pins exposed didn’t seem like a good plan.
I’m still fairly new to 3D modeling, and this turned into a learn-as-I-went project involving a lot of measuring, test prints, and revisions. The first version fit the board surprisingly well, but I kept finding things I wanted to improve.
The finished version has:
- Individual openings around all four controller ports
- Correct numbered port labels
- A closer-fitting, rounded USB opening
- Additional coverage around the PCB and USB flange
- Rounded exterior corners
- Single-color and multicolor options
- M3 screw-fastened and tool-free pressure-detent versions
With the USB connector above the controller ports, the correct arrangement is:
4 - 3
1 - 2
The screw-fastened version uses four M3×20 countersunk screws. It's probably the better option if controllers will be connected and disconnected regularly. I also included a pressure-fit version that doesn’t require any additional hardware.
This is designed specifically around the four-port N64 SNAC board sold by Retro Remake. The PCB I measured was 71.2 × 35.3 mm, with approximately 63.92 × 28.2 mm mounting-hole spacing, so other versions of the board may not fit.
The files are available on MakerWorld here:
If anyone else has this adapter and prints the case, I’d be interested to hear how it fits for you, particularly the pressure-detent version.
