BillC Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) On 2/12/2021 at 5:25 PM, Mr Robot said: The bottom plate has to be super thin, it’s already tight enough against the XL case as it is. It's zero clearance with my V2.1/800XL, pins are in contact with the case above the PBI card edge connector. The SYSCHECK projects above an XL leaving an area on the bottom near the CART/ECI connector that could have raised printing. On the V2.1 model pictured the area would be at least 3/4" , example shown in image below. I believe the V2.2 PCB should be larger because of the cartridge slot, this would increase the height above the XL case which could be used for raised printing.

svenski Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I must say Mr Robot that this looks freakin' awesome / mighty fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Both true points but as I've already stated, the back panel is extremely thin. You only have to look at the case to see that the back panel will print with the panel flat against the print bed. I can emboss lettering on that but it will raise the thin plastic off the print bed and require supports. that is going to give an unsatisfactory surface finish, increase the print time, increase the print cost, and likely lead to the reprint of a few failures because of ruining the case when peeling the thin back off of the supports. All that to repeat a logo that is already on the other side. I could cut out the logo on the back, exposing the PCB where the logo is but that is unacceptable to me because the entire point of the case is to protect the PCB. I can release the logo I drew for this as a PNG file and anyone that wants to can print a sticker with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Sticker! Doh! Sometimes we get so enthralled with the new technology that we forget about the older, simpler solutions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 The case looks wonderful! I made a case for Syscheck 2.1 out of a cassette case and I made on for Syscheck 2.2 XL out of an old Vic-modem case I hacked down to size. Now I have a 3D printer though, so I think I'll be wanting to make one for at least the 2.1 version. I can finally leave the old-school case manufacturing behind and use those skills only for restoration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Heres the Sys-Check 2.2 BBU version. The battery is so close to the XL case that it touches as you plug it in so there is no room for a case to cover it. Haven't test printed yet but I have @bfollowell's syscheck to test against Edited March 11, 2021 by Mr Robot It's a BBU not a BBM 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinjinhawke Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 This looks good. It's funny. Been using this device for a while and never noticed the switch on the side. What is the purpose of the switch. Can't find anything in the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 I guess its A write-protect switch to prevent content of memory expansion from changes from @tf_hh's manual 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know those little watch batteries last for years and years, but it'll need to be replaced eventually, and having it exposed like this will allow us to replace it without removing the case. Great job Steve! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the ICD extender would be more popular choice. but if that is the one you own then that would work for you. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenames99 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 that is a very nice looking case. so is the one for the syscheck. I thought I said I want one in an earlier post but did not see that so, if you start making the syscheck case then I want one. also, if I send you an ICD extender, would you do a case for that? thanks.

Let me clear my backlog of designs and I'll let you know. Sys-check 2.2BBU and ECI2PBI are both test printing now. I have Dropcheck's reimagined Ralph Davids EPROM burner next on my list. On Dropchecks website she says there is a download for manual in english and german, the software and an STL for the case but I can't find it on the site anywhere. I thought I might get away with not having to make one from scratch ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the burner several years ago and had long forgotten with my recent 3D printer ownership. Thanks for reminding me! And thank you Dropcheck for posting an STL. Now I don't have to design my own as planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Robot Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Here's the first stab at the XLXE Burner, definitely needs a little tweaking. I didn't use the existing STLs in the end, they were a bit plain for my liking 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
