What's the easiest way to make inserts to keep my handhelds tidy in my drawer? (lemm.ee)

I have a Steam Deck, Switch lite with grip, Anbernic 351v, and Gameboy advance (The non clamshell one) that I want to store in my drawer, but also want to keep them tidy, well displayed, and unharmed at the same time.

I was thinking to 3d print insterts/molds of the consoles that I can just slip them in and out of, and was wondering what the easiest way to accomplish that would be.

Also, I tried to upload pictures but kept getting an error.

If lemm.ee supports image uploads -- which they don't have to -- they may have size restrictions; my understanding is that the size restriction can be customized on a per-instance basis.

EDIT: They say in their sidebar:

https://lemm.ee/

Image uploads are enabled 4 weeks after account creation

Image upload limit is 500kb per image

Your account was created in 2023, so it's not the 4 week limit, but you're probably exceeding their (relatively low, as Lemmy instances go) image size limit.

Be kind of interesting to expose that data and let lemmy.fediverse.observer display limits per-instance.

EDIT2: I think that the largest image I've uploaded on lemmy.today is this high-resolution scan, which is 8 MB.

Cripes. I'd dissolve like the Wicked Witch of the West.

Well, someone's gotta pay for all the bandwidth somehow.

considers

Honestly, maybe that'd be a way for instances to provide some kind of "premium" service. Like, provide larger upload limits for people who donate. I assume that the instance admins don't have any ideological objections to larger images, just don't want to personally pay out-of-pocket for huge bandwidth and storage bills.

goes looking

I believe that this is the backend used by Lemmy, pict-rs:

https://github.com/distruss/pictrs

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/from_scratch.html

Lemmy supports image hosting using pict-rs. We need to install a couple of dependencies for this.

It looks like it only has one global size setting, so probably can't do that today.

Could also host one's images on an off-site image hosting thing, but then you don't benefit from integration with the uploading UI. I guess another option would be for Lemmy to provide some sort of integration with an off-site image-hosting service, so that a user could optionally use all the Lemmy features seamlessly, but just have your client or browser make use of your off-site account.
