This is what sent I to the shop for the prototype. I should have a hard sample by the end of the week. I put in screw holes for easy assembly/dis-assembly and added a few aesthetic details.
Officially want. Any chance in getting specs for the label dimensions? I wanna start mocking them up now.
What kind of finish are you doing? I think the same as the Omega would be nice.
Man that is sweet looking! The bump on the back side would make it even sweeter (if its not too late)Wow, looks really nice. I don't know if it is too late but, is it possible to add the hump on the back side? Like the AES carts have. That would break out of the all-square design a little. I know, the shoulders are out of the question.
How about an inward bump then?
Looking great!
How much work would it be to redesign this design into AES format?
I'd imagine that might encroach on the space for the boards buddy :-)

As for the bump, I decided against it. Adding the bump doesn't play well with stacking and storing of the carts. This isn't an issue with AES carts since the majority of them have their own cases to get a flat surface on both sides.
good point, didn't take that into account. To avoid scratching the labels too much one could perhaps add some soft plastic foil (e.g. from an antistatic bag) to the "slot guide"... will have to try that out.Just wanted to say that on the subject of a "bump" getting in the way of horizontal slot loaders, if the new cart shell design has the label in the same direction as AES carts, the bump would be facing up and the label facing down... Basically, the bump wouldn't be a problem with a front loader, but the label would get scratched up.
On the same token though, having the label facing down is something you have to live with, because if you switched the direction of the label, it would face the wrong way in a vertical loading MVS.
