The PicoBucket:
A great place to store your WaveBird receivers, Memory Cards, Carby, Carby Remote, etc!

After installing the PicoBoot modchip into my GameCube that had a broken disc drive I removed the drive for faster boot times, less parasitic draw, and (quite honestly) because it was broken.  I hated having the chasm in the cube; I had printed some of the eliminator options but all they did was fill in the hole.  Realistically I could just keep the lid shut, but I couldn't shake the want to utilize the space.  So that is where I created the PicoBucket.  

 

Credit to Webhdx for creating the picoboot mod for the Gamecube!


There are two files:
GC_SG_1.2.stl - this is just a standard bucket for the GameCube, if you already have PicoBoot installed this would be the way to go.

GC_SG_Pico_0.3.stl - this is the same bucket but a mount was added to the front for you to install the Raspberry Pi Pico right there!  If you are doing a fresh install try this one out!


Notes:
*Supports are needed.
*Rafts/Brims are not needed.
*I did 20% infill, Gyroid pattern.
I printed using PLA.
Took about 2 hours on an Ender 3Pro.
The notch at the bottom of the bucket is to accommodate the fan shroud.
Lid closes without issue.
You will have to take top cover off (4 screws) and then put the top cover back on, the PicoBucket is too tall to slip in from the top.


A buddy of mine did the measurements and the base shape for me, I took it from here, check him out:
