Hello group,

I just put online a project I've been playing with for some
time. It's a Vectrex cartridge printable using one of those
new fangled 3D printer things everyone's talking about.

The details are mostly on that page. With a bit of luck this
might help a small few of the people suffering from the lack
of new cartridge cases being made.

I'm contemplating selling small quantities as well, so feel
free to show your interest. Postage will be from Australia,
I'll have to think about the pricing, might post back.

Here's the link:

Thank you for informing about this nice project; the white sample cartridge
in the photos looks good.

CNK, I finally got round to including a review in my April 2013 news.
Many thanks again for the cartridge.

Nice article. I'm glad to be involved in "the saviour of the
Vectrex"! :)

Here's an interesting YouTube video which shows vapour treatment of 3D printed objects to give them a smooth and almost injection moulded looking finish:

Yes I have heard of the new Acitone vapour finishing.
I'll have to do some experimenting with it one day to
find out how it deals with thin, precisely sized details
like on the Vectrex cart.
