I spent two years trying to make SD Cards more nostalgic

I'm so glad everyone is enjoying the project! If you're interested in making/buying your own version of these, I'm definitely going to make them available in some form! If you don't want to miss news on that then make sure you're on my new mailing list at abe.today/pages/subscribe (it's also linked in my bio under "Mailing List"). Please also comment if you're interested in a kit, a complete drive, just the files, etc. I'm really not sure what's possible but I'd like to do whatever lets the most people enjoy these :) Thanks for watching <3

Abe achieved something never seen before; actually finishing a project you started 2 years earlier.

Micro SD cards are cool, but nothing beats the meaty snap of a cartridge. Cool seeing a project stuck in project hell finally see the light of day!

Love how your kitties keep trying to take the components.

microSD cards are also not human-sized, in that they're too small to handle properly.

Bro is gonna make his whole console

You're the reason I took up PCB designing. I was always intimidated by multi-layered pcbs and I didn't want to take the time to learn it. Keep up the fun projects.

I really like this project, maybe the demand for something like it doesn't exist on a commercial scale but honestly I feel like maybe it does. I see a trend lately of people trying to live their digital lives more intentionally and cartridges like this sound like it would fit that growing niche well.

The paintjob on the red makes it look soooo nice. Such a great retro feel, really makes it all come together so nicely!

YES! I'm not alone! I found a stash of mini disks and just holding them was so nice. They rattle a little when you shake them, there are satisfying snaps when you bring them out of their protective cases, and we haven't even started to talk about actually putting them in the player yet. Man... I miss the tactile feels. Physical copies of Switch games are a handy size and you could probably fit 50 switch cartridges on the same area as a snes cartridge but the feeling of popping them in the switch is non existent... the only way to feel remotely alive when handling a switch game is to lick it

This project is reminding me of the cartridge format for the PC Engine/TG-16, the HuCard/TurboChip.

Abe is here! We are blessed this day!

Glad your cat was there to help you every step of the journey, this project would not have been possible without him

you're truly the nostalgia youtuber.

I can't express how much I enjoyed this video. As someone who also loves to feel like a failure and give up for a few months halfway through my projects, I loved the transparency there; but also, I remember in your obsolete game console video your talking about how you weren't really happy with the feel and look of the 3D printed plastic - I appreciated that then as an example of a time where something doesn't turn out quite like you envisioned, but you recognize that "done" is better than "perfect" - but I like that even more now that it seems like here, you've overcome that as well and found a way to finish your 3D printed projects in a way that you love. Absolutely awesome and genuinely inspiring, cheers.

Hell yeah man. It's always awesome to hear when creators document their difficulties with a project that keeps kicking them in the nuts. Validating and inspiring man, I love seeing how this project evolved. Congrats on the 100k!

Literal magic. This is WONDERFUL!!

1:22 That magic was smooth as hell.

I love your work. I really want to make my own custom console and computer for my kids to play games and learn about how they work. You inspire me!

For 10 years now ive been resisiting getting a 3d printer and this makes me want one so badly... What a fantastically cool project. Love it.
