Xbox Original Slim Case

SH3D – Xbox OG Slim Case

Original Xbox Slim – Complete Case Redesign (Remix) by SH3D

This project is a comprehensive redesign of the Original Xbox Slim case.
Originally created by ShinGoutetsu, later expanded by PlasticBurner and PrimeRetroGamer, and now rebuilt by SH3D as a completely new two-piece enclosure.

 

Note: This model is a fully independent reconstruction created from scratch based on my own measurements. No geometry or files from the referenced models were reused or imported. The design is inspired by the remix chain but significantly reworked both technically and visually.

🎨 What’s New? – Full Redesign as a 2-Piece Case

The original model was made up of many individual components.
This remix, however, has been reconstructed as a fully assembled, unified case.

New Structural Concept

• Only two main parts:
  Bottom shell + Top cover
• Internal additions:
  – Shroud
  – Power button mount

This results in an easier-to-print, cleanly screw-fastened, visually seamless enclosure.

🆕 Top Cover Design Variants

The top cover is available in four fully redesigned variants:

1. Logo with large “X” across the entire lid
2. Logo text only
3. Logo with circular design
4. Logo with a thin “X” spanning the whole lid

🛠️ Technical Updates & Improvements

• Power button pillars realigned → ensures a straight, properly seated power button
• PCB stoppers reinforced → reduced play and improved button stability
• Top cover screw holes redesigned →
  now recessed for M3 socket head screws, sitting fully flush with the surface
• Two bottom shell variants:
  – With rounded ventilation slots
  – Without rounded edges

These changes do not make the case “more robust” but instead ensure a clean, functional build and a cohesive final assembly.

🤝 Community Project

This model is intended to grow together with the community.
If multiple users request the same feature, idea, or design element, I will gladly integrate it into future updates.

Individual one-off requests will not be implemented — but if there is demand, the design will be expanded accordingly.
