Mr Robot Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) Eric Nikolaisen on facebook asked me to make him cases for the Atarimax SIO2PC boards. He was brave enough to send me his boards to model so I said yes. https://www.thingiverse.com/mrrobot6502/designs Edited November 4, 2020 by Mr Robot Added thingiverse 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfollowell Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Those are awesome! I've been working on one for my dual port SIO2PC-USB. I may like to incorporate some of your design into mine, if you agree of course. Do you plan to post these on Thingiverse or some other design repository? Thanks for sharing.

+Philsan Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Very nice. I should have a ~15 years old Atarimax SIO2PC-USB somewhere, the first of a long list of loading devices I've bought ah ah. If I am not wrong at the time someone made a case with Lego... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Nice - way better than my model, I call "plain black cube". I still need to make light pipes for the 3 LEDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Robot Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 I've had success with other models using clear (not white) hot glue to fill the led tubes. It's muted/diffused but still clear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad he decided to share with others that need something similar. His design has inspired me to work on the extremely basic and utilitarian design I did for my SIO2PC-USB Dual Port and try to make it look a little nicer. Maybe some XL style vents around the top or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+videofx Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 If people are interested I can take print orders and I have currently like 8 different colors available. I will offer the group an atariage discount 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Robot Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 What holds the two halves together? The surface finish isn’t great but that’s a printer tuning issue, the case itself seems a reasonable model, styling is a personal taste thing.

The surface finish isn’t great but that’s a printer tuning issue, the case itself seems a reasonable model, styling is a personal taste thing. The printer I had is long gone. I never put screws in place to hold it together, since I haven't done anything to make the LEDs visible. So currently, a rubber band holds the case together My design skills and my drawing skills are the same. If it's not a straight line done with a ruler I can't manage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you quote a post full of pictures, please do us all a favour and remove the pictures from the quote or we all get to see them twice and it looks like an accidental double post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
