Nintendo DSi Slim Travel Case

Check out my other DS cases:

• 3DS & DS Game Cartridge Case (18 Games)
• new 3DS XL and DSi XL
• OG 3DS and DS Lite

This is my take on a travel case for the Nintendo DSi. This case will safely conceal your DSi, as well as 6 additional games (7 including the one in the system), or any other accessories that might fit in the accessory slot.

I printed this in Bambu Basic PETG for strength. I would also consider using PLA Tough+ as well but have yet to try it!

I highly recommend printing all three Cartridge Carriers and using them even if storing less than 6 games since they are only held in place by the lid. If only one or two are used, they will move around a lot more and the games may fall out.

I designed the case with the use of 3mm adhesive padded foam which can be found on amazon here.

To assemble, you will need six (6) M3x35mm socket head machine screws (I used these from Amazon, which have a head with a 5.4mm diameter and 3mm depth). The screw head clearance is a 6mm diameter.

For the foam, you can cut any sizes you'd like for each of the panels, but I will list what I used:

• The bottom of the base and lid each use a 125mm x 70mm piece of foam
• The back side of the base I used 12mm x 15mm pieces on each column
• For the sides of the base, I used 65mm x 12mm pieces of foam
• For the front of the base, I used 35mm x 12mm pieces of foam
• Foam piece placements can be seen in the model photos!

I've also added a plate for lids with the Nintendo DSi logo!

Post your results in the comments with some games and consoles to show off! I'd love to see them!

ADDITIONAL NOTES

I've also included an additional TPU seal that you can print and superglue into the case, but I will post the results when i print this for myself. Personally, I don't think it is 100% necessary on this model, but included it in case anyone would like to have a slight added layer of sealing/protection to their console.
