/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Read this OP;

Also buy pic related to help you measure contours.
You can transfer that onto some paper, smooth out the rough edges, then you can use your middle school geometry set to do the rest.
Even if you did laser 3D scanning to the nth decimal place, you will HAVE to do some well educated guesses to round off the measurements to something Sega themselves would have scribbled on their draft drawings, if your goal here is to make an OEM replication.
And its likely all their dimensions were done in metric (millimeters).

Weirdly enough, my gf bought me this book for my birthday a while back;

Which has some Sega hardware design drawings (unfortunately no controller drawings).
Flipping through it now, I see dimensions are in millimeters to 1 decimal place at most.
Standby though. I will try see if I can some halfway readable scans of the drawings. Maybe some other anons can make use of them, they sure as hell will never be of any use to me.
