While some 3D printing applications can cut costs or change lives, some are just fun. Those who grew up in the '80s and '90s will often harbor fond memories of the original Nintendo Entertainment System, including its iconic grey cartridges. Frank Zhao has now come to bring those cartridges back into (literal) play, creating 3D printed NES cartridges that can be played on a Playstation 4 via a 3D printed adapter on the PS4. Using some electronics know-how, Zhao incorporated a 2.5" hard drive with a game (like Grand Theft Auto V) uploaded to it into the 3D printed cartridge replica, which connects using a SATA cable.
