[QUOTE="FAST6191, post: 9510521, member: 32303"] There are any number of 3d printer services that you send a file to and they send something back, or hacker spaces/maker spaces with that as a service, or people that rent out their own 3d printers, CNC machines and vacuum formers. [URL]https://www.retroasia.com/products/panasonic-q-system-jp-us-modded-with-component-cable[/URL] [URL]https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/12/22/gamecube-from-every-angle[/URL] [URL]https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/27664/nintendos-expansion-ports[/URL] and some ebay listings for replacements for the gamecube sourced me enough images that I reckon I could make a stab. Thumbnails, click for larger. [ATTACH]268044[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]268045[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]268046[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]268047[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]268048[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]268049[/ATTACH] Can't find a shot of the Q serial 1 cover from other angles in a casual search sadly but with the pictures there I don't anticipate any real problems as long as you consider the internal ribs inside the slot (just left of the finger holes for the spring clamps in the pictures) when it comes time to the box section if replicating the gamecube approach. The box and ribs are mostly there for stiffening and alignment anyway (a sensibly thick* bit of plastic would probably still flex without any ribs or might be able to be twisted out of the slot under the little kid treatment) so you might be able to get away with rather less than that *you have a limit here as that shelf between the true outside which forms the resting point of the cover is rather thin.

Even if it does it might be more hassle than it is worth, but I don't know on that one. I also note that [URL]https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/gamecube-serial-port-2-2pieces[/URL] opts for separate spring clamps and the way they attach makes me think they are a weak point for them to have that much reinforcement/mitigation for internal forces. If I were doing it and using a thermoplastic (rather than thermoset) I might print or form the side bit flat, and then heat it up after placing it on a suitably curved bit of wood or something so it takes the curved form rather than hoping my 3d printer can handle it.

As far as designing this in cad. The curved section might be tricky for some approaches but this would be a wonderful beginner project -- something you want to happen but nothing too terribly tricky (design the base bit of plastic and then in the CAD then on the relevant surface extrude any box section and reinforcing ribs at suitable locations for a suitable distance, assuming you don't make them separately and glue the box section and ribs into the simple sheet you cut and heat formed).
