3D printing and electronics enthusiast Jeff Chen has designed and shared some STL models which bring a natty coat of armor to 3dfx Voodoo2 cards for the first time. Now the ageing graphics card’s 1990s era PCB can get some 2020s clothes to wear, and they look quite stunning.
Launched in March 1998, 3dfx Voodoo2 graphics cards are so iconic, and made such a revolutionary impact on PC gaming, that they still stir emotions in gamers of a certain age. With 3dfx graphics cards also highly sought after, and commanding big ticket prices among retro gamers, the added protection provided by armor isn’t just for handsome points. We aren’t sure if Chen is also a fan of the old Nokia Lumia colorways, but 3D printer owners are of course going to output these in the colors of their own choosing.
