RetroTINK-2X Classic 3d Printed Case


The RetroTINK-2X (discontinued) is barebone and the look doesn't appeal to everyone. A custom case for the RetroTINK-2X Classic has been created as an alternative by Laser Bear Industries.

As an FYI, all of Greg's designs can be purchased from his web store here:

The RetroTINK-2X Case consists of a few 3d Printed parts:

RetroTINK Bottom V1.4.stl RetroTINK Top V1.4.stl RetroTINK Buttom.stl (print two of these)

You will also need some extra items to complete the setup.


 * 4x M3x20mm flat head machine screws
 * some translucent 1.75mm filament (optional for light pipes)

The only part that might be a little bit difficult is installing the light pipes, I used a pair of pliers and pushed the filament through the led holes and used flush cutters to get it to set flat with the rest of the case. Then I used a hot air rework gun to get the clear filament to be clear on the ends that were cut.

The case will assemble with the original 3mm nuts from the RetroTINK-2X Classic plexy case and the 3mm screws you obtained. The RetroTINK-2X Classic board will just go inside before you screw it all together.

Rad 2x Cables


The "Retro Analog to Digital 2x" cables, aka the "RAD2x" are retro HDMI cables supporting most consoles before the Xbox, PS3 and Wii. They are zero lag devices that process the unique "240p" signals of classic consoles properly. They include a switchable filter that smooths out the graphics, which can improve the look for early 3D games and for softening 480i games.
