Commodore 64 / VIC-20 PSU-case, replica

prusaprinters

<p>A good as possible (imo) replica of the old PSU-box for the Commodore 64 and VIC-20.You can use it to built in your psu-replacement.</p> <p>The outside is a precise replica of the original, the inside is cleaned out to give you space for your own electronics.</p> <p>The bottom is there in two versions, as close as possible to the original and a flattened version for easier printing (see print-settings)</p> <p>The top and bottom are connected with 3 M3-screws or self-tapping screws (be sure the screw-holes are big enough).</p> <p>You can use the original rubber strain-reliefs or use the included cable-inserts.</p> <p>Read the print settings for more information.</p> <p>Happy Retro-computing:)</p> <p>PS. Sorry for the photo-quality, but red is apparently not an ideal color for my phone. Believe me it looks very nice.</p> <p>PPS: The case for the successor of this PSU can be found here: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3126844">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3126844</a> <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3574072">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3574072</a></p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong></p> Jupiler PLA, but PETG is probably better <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>Printing-tips:</p> Top: I got really good results with Cura 4.1.0 and the now experimental "conical support" and "adaptive layers" settings. <p>The screwholes are 2.4 mm in diameterand you have to threat(?) it for m3 screws. Self tapping screws is also an option.</p> <p>It is a long print, it took me 15-20 hours on different machines.</p> <p>Bottom: The easy printable version can be printed flat on the bed. The one with the "ring-feet" is not so easy to print due to the needed support. A solution that worked reasonably well is to rotate that bottom-part 45 degrees over the long side. Together with minimal support you got a nice result (see picture). Downside to this is the almost trippled printing-time.</p> <p>The screwholes in the bottom must be cleaned, there is a thin layer in the screw-holes to ensure a good finish.</p> <p>Cable-inserts: these are a tight fit, fit them first before using them.</p> </div></p> Category: Electronics
