jdgabbard Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I recently designed a replacement for the power switch for the TI-99/4A. And thought I would give it to the community. I have hosted it on Thingiverse here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3697972 But I have also attached a photo. It's not perfect, but good enough compared to jamming something in the hole to turn on/off the computer. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Nice! I'll add this to the list once the AtariAge updates are completed and the edit capability returns. You know, a switch like this, coupled with a second 3D printed retainer for a specific switch would also come in handy for those who've switched to the external power supply. As the years go on, and more power supplies fail, having a ready 'go to' solution would be invaluable to people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I will have my resin print in the next couple of weeks. This looks like it will print nicely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the replacement switch, what are people moving to? I could probably design it, but would need to know what I'm looking at. 44 minutes ago, OLD CS1 said: I will have my resin print in the next couple of weeks. This looks like it will print nicely. Let me know how it turns out. I'm limited by the capabilities of my printer, so if I need to make any changes, I'd like to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Does anyone have a link to the external power supply some people were getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDMike Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) can you make keys? if so, a hollow spot within them so an LED can light BUT the LED cannot protrude up past the cap face, it has to seat below it. just an idea Edited June 23, 2019 by GDMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
