POV C5B build - Cyber Legends board

[coonsgm]

Finally had some free time here with the whole turkey day weekend. I got my new C5B board up and running. Got the amp fixed, added all the needed components and first boot with a floppy disk demanded I load Ultima IV.

I wanted to try a VGA connector this time on the board and use the 3.5mm port for audio. External Floppy and cartridge port working just fine. I'm getting some new midi ports to solder on in the next few days.

A PCBWay 3D printed case is coming my way to go with this....curse those tariffs! That added over $100....

:bravo: :2k2:

any info on this case

I'm still on the fence to build a board - hard to find working 1040 ST's here in New Zealand - I was thinking a Phoenix might be a better option for the money

I have a 3D printer if the STL's are available

thanks

I might have a short term solution anyway as I just won an auction locally for a good looking but non functional 1040 STF and monitor

if the mainboard is not recoverable then at least I willl have the case ...ohhh and a mouse LOL

Well, I received the PCBWay printed case and it's hot garbage. My kids when they were 11 could have printed better if they had a printer large enough to handle it. I could have bought 1-2 non-working Atari 1040ST's for what I paid for the stupid thing.

Surface finish is terrible. Nozzle was too hot and extrusion layer height was too thick.

I'm still going to build with it at least temporarily. The design was done well

:( Can you post some images of it so we can just see anyway ?

[coonsgm]

Judge for yourselves, but I have printed far better surface quality on my own printers in multiple different materials. This looks like kids prints when they were 11 years old 3D printing for the first time.
