"OUYA, the Kickstarter-funded indie gaming console, has teamed up with Makerbot\u00A0to\u00A0release the 3D design files for the console's case.\u00A0With the template and specs for the device revealed, anyone with access to a 3D printer will be able to customize the $99 console.\r\n\r\nThe files, which are packaged as the &amp;quot;OUYA MakerBot 3D Printing Development Kit,&amp;quot; embrace OUYA's image as an open (and hackable) gaming device. According to Makerbot, the dev kit will allow anyone to print cases which can be customized with patterns and colors in\u00A0PLA plastic. For more experienced users, ABS plastic is also supported, as is the obvious temptation to completely alter the shape of the console casing.\r\n\r\nOUYA CEO\u00A0Julie Uhrman says that it &amp;quot;was a natural progression to extend our openness by partnering with MakerBot. What better way to bring OUYA\u2019s console to life than letting anyone print and modify it.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis news follows the debut of Makerbot's\u00A03D scanning prototype\u00A0at SXSW, and is an unsurprising move for the indie gaming startup. Customization, it appears, could play a major role in making OUYA much more than a Kickstarter success.\r\n\r\n\u27A4\u00A0OUYA MakerBot 3D Printing Development Kit"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
