CUSTOM Vertical Stand from Retro Frog for the RetroTink 4K
Thanks to everyone who has reached out over the past few weeks to see how we're doing since losing my brother, it is greatly appreciated. One of the cool things, however, is not just receiving support but also being able to provide support to others. One such case is with Todd from Retro Frog. Todd has been into 3D printing a long time and has some truly amazing accessories. One of my favorites of his has to be the stand he created for the RetroTink 5x. I figured he'd be working on one for the upcoming RetoTink 4K and, while he didn't have one finished yet, he did send me some files to print and test out to see how they worked. And that's how this awesome collaboration started and how I was able to give him some feedback on his design for a Custom Vertical Stand for the RetroTink 4K.
On his very first design, it was amazing it fit as well as it did considering he had never seen a RetroTink 4K in person! It overall worked decently enough but I know how he likes his projects to fit. I felt that the remote cavity was a bit to shallow and allowed the remote to bounce around a bit too much. I also thought the tolerances on the 4K could be tightened up a bit too. With that feedback he went to work on V2.
Version 2 was much, much better. In fact, I'd say he nailed the compartment for where the REtroTink 4K would sit, but the remote storage still needed a little love. It just flopped around a bit more than I think he would have wanted, so I gave him some more feedback and he went back to the design table. In the meantime he actually received a test model from Mike Chi himself, so he could do some more direct measurements, and the final results are awesome.
With V3 he was able to add material in crucial spots to support both the remote and the RetroTink 4K as needed. I printed out this 3rd and final version on my Creality K1 3D printer using Sain Smart Matte PLA-HF and I am thrilled with the results. Overall I think this looks great and provides a great way for me to store my 4K.
Make sure you check out the Retro Frog website for this and other models!
