Imprimer en 3D ses boîtes de cartouches de jeu vidéo

Pour les possesseurs de consoles portables, une boîte de rangement de cartouches peut être pratique. Que ce soit pour Nintendo (DS, 3DS...) ou Sony (PlayStation Vita), des modèles 3D sont disponibles en ligne. J'ai juste regardé sur Thingiverse (mais nul doute que d'autres modèles vivotent quelque part en ligne), avec comme critères "pouvoir voir les titres" et "6 cases minimum". Pour les médiathèque proposant du jeu vidéo, ce type de rangement est pratique quand on fait du "prêt indirect" : les boîtes en rayon, les cartouches stockées à l'abri. On ne trouve pas toujours son bonheur en magasin, et c'est l'occasion de faire tourner l'imprimante 3D que vous avez ou de faire un saut au fablab du coin !
Voici donc une petite sélection...

Pour les cartouches de Nintendo DS ou 3DS

6 cases : 3DS Six Cartridge Clamshell Case  

et nintendo DS/3DS game cartridge case.

8 cases : NDS Cartridge Case - 8 Slots
Celui-ci je l'ai imprimé pour tester. Le rendu est chouette ! La taille des cases est impeccable, les cartouches se rangent et sortent en glissant, sans accroche. Par contre, si la "boîte" tombe ou bascule, les cartouches vont se sauver !.

12 cases : 3DS cartridge travel case

 

Pour les cartouches de PlayStation Vita

6 cases : Ps Vita Cartridge Case

8 cases : vita game case/holder

10 cases : PSVita Cartridge Case










Pour les cartouches de Nintendo Switch... à suivre, ça ne devrait tarder !
Et si vous trouvez (ou créez) d'autres modèles, n'hésitez pas à les partager en commentaire ;-)

Jack Tours 1515, a new Off-Grounds Student Center

If you have visited UVA, you may have shopped or grabbed a bite to eat on the Corner. The Corner is a shopping district just next to the University that is full of shops, restaurants, and cafes that serve the UVA community.

When one of the businesses on the Corner closed about two years ago, the University bought the building at 1515 University Avenue with the idea that it could be transformed into a flexible student space. What was interesting about the development of the project was that students were involved in every step. Facilities management documented the renovation process, so many of us were eagerly watching as the project progressed.

When 1515 opened, it became a hub of student activity immediately. Jack recently took a tour of the building, which has space for studying, music performances, exercise, playing games (hello, free skee ball, pool, foosball, air hockey, and video games!), meditating, and group meetings. There's also a coffee bar called Crumbs with the most beautiful desserts, which was closed during our morning visit. 1515 is open until 2 AM and it's full of students no matter what time I walk by.

I hope you enjoy the video by the Office of the Dean of Students' marketing team!

What's Happening with the #UVA21 Waiting List?

It's May 2nd and I think I'll skip right to the information you're probably craving. We're making a few offers to students on the waiting list. I'm not able to post a total number or a breakdown of where the offers will be.

How We Make Waiting List Offers

We will call or email a student on the waiting list to give them a heads up when we are ready to make them an offer of admission. Students who put themselves on the waiting list a month ago may have moved on by now, so some tell us right away that they aren't interested anymore. That's totally fine...we appreciate the ability to move quickly right now since we know there are students eager to hear some news from us.

Within a few hours, we can usually have the student's official status in SIS changed so they can view their offer letter. The student will have a couple days to make a deposit. If the student has all of their financial aid forms submitted, they'll have a couple days after the aid package is posted to make the deposit.

When We Make Waiting List Offers

We contact students in the afternoon so we don't disrupt the school day. Adjustments are made for the time zone of the student, of course. Our office closes at 5 PM each day, so there's a window of a couple hours during which we make our calls.

How Coming Off the Waiting List Affects Housing and Orientation

Summer Orientation doesn't start until June, so students admitted off the waiting list still have time to register for a summer orientation session. Housing forms aren't due until June 1 and the Office of Housing and Residence Life does not even start to assign dorms until after those forms are in. In other words, there's no disadvantage to joining the class from the waiting list.



We're going to move quickly on this. We're so excited to make these offers!
