Either way, both were hot...

Might be worth contacting this chap:-

He created a case for the Pi and Nano which houses the board and a keyboard - it looks fantastic (I have one to unbox at some point - when I get a nano).





I bet that case could be adapted to fit the TFMSeX!

Still going

Well it finished this morning around 8:00. Have done an initial tidy up but needs a bit more. Have also identified a couple of areas that need sorting out.

You can just make out the support bars on the images and the extension towards the front of the case on the new version to improve rigidity and strength.

Fortunately one is pink otherwise we couldn't tell which one was printed
Fantastic job!

It's getting good

Colour aside, up close there is a noticeable difference between a 3D print and a real case but its about getting the look right at the moment. The grill is almost as damn it identical now. As for the choice of colour, pink is for @exxos as he has always wanted a pink ST case

Yes its starting to look like the original with a few improvements. Once I have tweaked a few more issues then we should have a set of files we can use to produce a new case. Biggest reason for me building the large printer in the first place was to be able to print out prototypes and get the case as best as we can.

You are an absolute treasure to the Atari community, your work is appreciated!
