Falcon back-plate measurements

Post by Steve »

Hi,

Does anyone have the measurements for the back-plate of a Falcon? ie; just the flat back-side where the ports are. I'd like to 3D print this part. I can make the CAD model if there's a diagram somewhere.

Thanks,

I'd measure my own Falcon but my case is missing sections in the rear... which is why I want print a new back.

Call me daft, but I keep thinking a charcoal rubbing on paper from the back of a Falcon (without the top) would show the ports (positions and sizes). If its posted to you then you can measure out and 3D print what you need?

Another option, could you not tweak an STFM case with a dremel? The bottom part is on ebay via AtariFreakz for £20 inc postage right now. Im thinking you can insert the 3d printed panel easier <shrug>
