Chris Downing is an enthusiast of electronics and music, and one of his latest projects, a commissioned console mod for a portable N64, relies heavily on a combination of 3D printing CNC machining. Downing says that while this version was printed in PLA, that was perhaps not the ideal choice as the low melting point of the plastic meant heat generated by the milling process gummed up the bits. He says subsequent versions will use ABS to avoid “a melted mess” which has to be monitored constantly. You can read the whole story here: http://3dprint.com/82737/n64-portable-case-mod/
