Description A "realistic" render of a 1:5 scale Atari 2600 I created in Solidworks to be 3d printed in four pieces, assembled, and painted.

The model is designed with consideration for the specific tolerances of 3d printing, being hollow to save on material costs with a 1mm thick shell. All details of the original system are included on the model as well, including screw holes, ports, seams and recesses. Special attention also went into representing the text as .2mm extrusions from the surface to afford the ability to paint them with relative ease. Accuracy is within .5mm.

Do you have photos of these printed?
Edit: well judging from the 3D models I see from your gallery, I guess they haven't been printed yet.

Thanks! I haven't actually printed this one yet. I'm going to send it to the printer along with the Odyssey, Intellivision and Coleco Vision.
