Pretty cool. Nice big screen ! Though it does seem to be a little thicker overall than I thought necessary.

My wrists are already sore and I'm not even holding it up to play on it yet. Cool looking screen though.

I’m a bit bothered by this current way of stating things. I see it here and also in regards to consolized Neo MVSs.
“Building a whole new PC Engine...” no you aren’t! WTF are you saying? He *started* with a whole PC Engine that NEC built over 30 year ago. He then 3D printed an enclosure for it and other components he simply purchased. This is a mod.
Some people...you give them a 3D printer and now they are a “maker”.
We have to teach these kids to weld...or at least whittle. 3D printing is a dead end skill set, outside of YouTube it’s nearly useless.

The op who made the YouTube video is from Hong Kong or even shenzhen, English is not primary language, the fact he made an English language YouTube video so everyone who interested can follow and replicate this awesome job is amazing,as sharing is caring. I love to see others here build something similar as it's making the possibility of owning a Lt like machine without spending USD 1000 plus or sufficing with the next alternative, a USD 100 add on screen with a small 3.5" 16:9 screen as aftermarket thought

What about the design skills measuring and modeling the case? Geez, man. You go do that and I promise to ridicule you for your efforts, too.

Yes, being able to use a CAD program to model something in 3D and then have it created in the real world as a usable product has absolutely no use in product design or mechanical engineering. ( solidworks)
Whereas whining on forums about other people's passion projects is a skill set with near infinite potential, and endless profitability. You can't throw a rock without finding an employer looking for this skill set. ( forum whining)

I can tell you guys are very very impressed. He did not “make” a “whole” PC Engine though. Neither did the last two CMVS sellers make the mainboard in their products. What he did was make a really cool half of a case for the NEC PC Engine. It’s a mod. I’m not saying is a fake flan in the cardboard container video, I’m just saying it’s a mod.
I don’t think English is any issue because if anything massively over-rating 3D printing is a mostly American thing (nothing being manufactured here anymore leads to people not knowing how things are made.) When people take credit for other people’s works without even so much as a mention it seems to say they don’t respect actual work or even understand it’s origins.
If I hacked a funny sprite into Super Mario Bros and said I made a whole game you guys would be ripping into me just as hard as you are now. Since programming is something you understand you know how ridiculous that would sound. You wouldn’t be saying, “Some day you’ll be a lead programmer for Microsoft!” because you know, while that may come to pass, there is no reason to assume such a massive leap will be made based on my single accomplishment of plagiarism and unless I was six years old you’d be way too impressed.

No, that isn't what you were "just saying." If you'd left it at that, we wouldn't be calling you out for being an asshole.
You were trivializing the entirety of 3D printing, and saying the skills weren't transferable.
And now, you decided to double down on being an asshole about 3D printing. Plenty of companies will test prototype designs using 3D printing. The rest of your post is a poorly constructed false equivalence argument, not worth quoting or responding to. This "mod" is a cool thing worth sharing. Your posts, on the other hand, are worthless and belong in the trash along with your elitist attitude.

I have a friend who makes a killer living off CDC/cad work that he became proficient at after learning it for 3d printing. He had to be trained on metalwork and welding but he makes high end 3d prints for clients all the time doing very well for himself. I'd hardly call it a skillset not worth learning and leveraging for both hobby projects and professional career.
This thing looks cool, and though yes is a console case mod in part it's a lot more elaborate to limit it to that in description.
Sounds like the title and op post had some semantic errors that have caused quite the stink.
Thanks for sharing!

I'm not saying you're wrong, but your point could be made as effectively without name-calling and baiting for a fight. Please keep it civil.

Pretty cool mod, though I'm sure that particular 3d printer costs as much or near as a LT does!

What’s funny is that I said essentially the same thing on this guy’s video and his response to me was “You’re right, I changed the title”, I gave him the thumbs up and that was it. Here though I was buried in the blood wave of tyrannical positivity. If you want to fight about 3D printing being %99 useless, we can start a new thread about that. I for sure feel that it is but even if the dude had carved it out of brass and zebra wood my main point is the same. The idea that you can get a real manufacturing career out of a 3D printing hobby is about as realistic as thinking that your self taught Photoshop skills will get you a job at Vogue. It...*can* happen, technically, but it won’t, and if it does you almost certainly won’t be 3D printing anything there. Unless you have unholy skills, real jobs want degrees. There are a ton of self trained highly talented people in both careers but they will always be fighting for the scraps that fall from the table of the real positions. If you barely get in the door you’re the first guy to be made redundant when there is a plague or a 9/11 or something. They don’t want end level technicians they want designers and engineers who understand the larger picture and the vocabulary of these fields. Just because you drew something in CAD doesn’t mean it isn’t a crap design. Furthermore, the way parts are made from 3D printers doesn’t even resemble the way you make things in real manufacturing. The way shrinkage is accounted for, how quickly your design will wear out a mold or tooling on a machine, how many pieces it has to be, etc are the vast majority of day to day manufacturing concerns. Drawing the thing once...is almost fun compared to the quotidian drag that is real product development. Of all of this, I speak from experience. I’ve DIY-ed myself into good jobs before but only when I got a degree did things change and not just because of the degree, because at that point I actually knew things that I only thought I knew before.
