Atari 130XE case / keyboard remake

[gianlucarenzi]

Hi! @Icky and @exxos
Very good job indeed for the STFM 3D case. I would like to have a similar 3D for my Atari 130XE as I already done a custom kyeboard PCB and this can have more keys that actually the Atari XL/XE can have (F1...F4 and other).
How did you start? Using 3D scanner? Did every measurements by hand then 3D with some software?
Please help me out to find a house to this beauty:

Feel free to contact me ASAP to share some information!!

Hi @gianlucarenzi

Impressive keyboard remake for the Atari XE. We have moved your post to its own thread as it would be good if you could use this thread to discuss your journey building the keyboard. In addition we can also discuss 3D parts for the keys and case here too.
