J64 Beta worklog

Well first day back to school today and...It was like...Christmass
The school has purchased both a vacuum form table, and a CNC cutting machine!!!, so I"m ditching the old piece of crap case and gonna do a proper job.
Ive now got over $50 of styrene coming in the mail and I've got one of those dualshock new-made controllers coming for the n64 (ditched the broken one), currently drawing up my design,
btw:
anyone know a decent program for drawing up designs for this sort of stuff ?

Sketchup for designing, Illustrator for CNC.

^^thanks for the tip,
Okay I decided to cheat...kinda, I'm getting my friend at school how is legend with wood, to build me a wooden mould for my n64p, heres some pics of the google sketchup case




Kinda big, but it is my first n64P so I'm leaving room for....non-perfectionism I guess

I can't tell what anything is.

I can't tell what anything is.

True, all I see is a cartslot on the bottom, I don't see any controls.

[neverused]

is that purple thing the screen, just half floating/ unsupported?

sorry thats just the design of the "naked" case, the mold I"ll be using as a vacuum form, I dont see the point in putting in controls now because I've been told its better/nicer/easier to make the holes/controls after on the vacuum formed plastic
