Brought back alot of memories thinking about old school gaming and technology in general. Such simple times, if your any of your games started having issues then all you needed to do was grab the cartridge and blow out the dust and dirt. Then just smack it back into the console and boom! game starts up and runs. Well now that action is pretty much useless for modern games so i created the NES Cartridge Harmonica. So if you miss the good times and memories grab this and give it a blow from left to right or right to left. You could even use it as a demonstration to the youngsters. This does actually work however its not a perfect tuned instrument so dont expect it to replace the real thing but it is really cool and fun to play. also printed out a Super Mario Bros decal to make it look even more legit. hope you like it

Man I had this idea a while ago and drew it, I'm shocked that someone else had the exact same idea (although I thought of using a game boy game). Congrats for the design!

Great print! well done. The nostalgia is worth the print. All those times the game would freeze and I would blow until I was Blue in the face trying to get it to work. I'm sure there was some slobber in the cartridge as well which probably didn't help matters good job on the print.

be warned you will have to blow hard and constant enough to get lightheaded

does this fit into an existing NES cartridge shell or is the file custom fitted for this model?

I don't know if it was me or the print but the harmonica part didn't work. it warped so It could very well be heat too high or taken off to early. plate 2 printed well though

it requires a lot of air just to get very little sound. needs improvement. i can't give it 3 stars because there's just better instruments. 1 star is to poor. it "functions" but the tolerances need to be worked on. the nes cart was cool. just the harmonica part is just poor.
