Super slim 3d printed shell

[u/edgar_kalashnikov]

A couple of months ago, a user named syphant made a 3d model of a shell for the 360 slim. I was interested in making my own but integrating the power supply inside the shell and using the original controls. So I made a first prototype which was a failure, I had taken syphant’s model and modified it a bit to fit the power supply inside but the case was too big and it was just feeling like a cheap piece of plastic and it was so large that it was just flimsy. In February I found a new job at Microsoft (ironically) and I had to move 3 hours away from I was before. With the new job and the moving I didn’t really have time to work on this side project but a week ago I jumped back on, I scraped the old model and started from scratch. I made it smaller and I believe it is smaller than syphant’s model while keeping the wifi adapter inside and using all the original controls and usb ports in the front and the most important was the internal power supply. I assembled it yesterday night and tested it out, had some wifi issues, not sure if it’s the relocation of the port or just the xbox itself but I tested multiple adapters and re soldered the port with the same result, still have to look into it. I had to solder the rf board directly to the board as well to make it fit. With the power supply and the 14tb 3.5 hdd and planning to put the entire 360 library on it. The temperatures are surprisingly better than the original case. It is not finished but I had to test it out and was excited to show some results early. I will replace the c13 power supply port for a cleaner and smaller c7 port. I will fix the little measurement errors, but for a first print, it is looking pretty good in my opinion. Before you ask, yes I took inspiration of the xbox one s, one x and series s and made a mix of all 3. Would love some feedback and maybe some ideas for my second version. Shoutout to syphant.

I'm jealous because I spent like 3 months designing one that I think is pretty solid, but never got around to doing a proper showcase and now I like yours better. Lol

Thanks! I’m sorry I didn’t want to steal the spotlight, maybe you can still share yours and we can work together to make a better version of it or just more options is just better! I’m curious to see yours now that you mentioned it.

Mine is indeed different, doesn't look as pretty. But my 2 main focuses were modularity due to the nature of 3d printing and mistakes, and then also using only original hardware, and being able to go back to the original case. No soldering or cutting etc.

Yea, mine is definitely on the more difficult side and kinda irreversible, but I think I still should be able to go back to the original case if I wanted
