Thanks @terriblefire it's slow going but once done we will be able to re-house some naked STs out there :D

I love that shocking pink colour...

It was for @exxos originally but it actually helps to see where certain issues are as it’s bright.

I prefer the dark grey the first case prototype that was glued together in sections was printed in but I have a deep purple ready for the next prototype print.

Problem is at the moment my printer is at my parents whilst I am in the midst of moving house.

No matter the colour is, you have done a great job !

Looks grand, Icky!

Thanks both.

Whilst in limbo during the house move thought I would work on the STE joystick ports. Draft ports in place (will eventually need to print out a prototype section to check fit) and now looking at how to incorporate a face place to cover the ports if using as an STFM case. Once this is complete all I then need to do is the STE rear panel and then case bottom is complete for STFM and STE.

Nice! :thumbup:

Looks good to me.

I always wondered about using those for other purposes as well,maybe USB etc

With the back panel now removable we can add slots for all sorts. e.g. USB, SD or CF card slot etc. However to your point @PhilC I just created the initial panel for the STE joystick ports and I can see we could have a few versions such as a USB port panel. Options are endless almost :)

Render has panel in a different colour to show where it is.


EDIT: Clips in place on panel
