# Print settings for Slic3r Prusa Edition     
Select the "0.20mm NORMAL" setting that comes with Slic3r and change the following parameters:    
ensure_vertical_shell_thickness = 0     
fill_density = 5%    
first_layer_height = 0.3    
perimeters = 1    
thin_walls = 1    

# Print settings for Cura 4.x    
You can use the Draft 0.2mm profile but you might want to change the build plate adhesion settings since the default seems a bit [too much](https://www.dropbox.com/s/qu8fvjsh33bxjeh/curaprint.jpg?dl=0).  
For the N64 sleeve you need to enable the special mode "Spiralize outer Contour" or else the walls might end up too thick.  

# Combined STL file with all parts      
#### combined.stl has all the needed parts combined into one STL file in case you use a 3D print service that calculates by volume.

# Separate STL files for each part    

#### snes_spacer.stl is a small 3d printed spacer to relieve pressure from the pins of SNES clone console slot

#### backplate_simple.stl is the backplate that holds the Arduino

# Full enclosure addon   

#### The case_xxx.stl files are a replacement for backplate_simple.stl in case you prefer a full enclosure, you will still need the other stls though.

# Battery addon 

#### The xxx_battery.stl files are alternative designs in case you use the battery add-on and replace the similary named default stls.
