metal C128D Floppy Lock Plus Replacement for broken floppy lock on a Commodore C128D (metal version) retro-computer. Plus stands for the added material surrounding the "half-moon" plug, compaired to the original floppy lock. The floppy-drive drive should be an 1571 model to fit. The axis for the floppy mechanics is 15mm long (longer than on 1541-II models for C64) Best printed in ABS to be strong enough. Attention: The inner of the "half-moon" has to be reworked to fit smooth, f.e. by rotary tool. Don't try to push or force the plug on the floppy mechanics - they may get damaged!!! Two versions of the lock exist: 1 part lock: Has to be printed with support (more than one try may be needed to get good results) 2 parts lock: Can be printed without any support and must be glued together. Aceton is a perfect glue for ABS plastics. Post-Printing manual re-working needed! The inner axis (half-moon-plug) must be re-worked, cause some material from print can make it to small! Don't try to press the lock on the floppy-drive without doing this.
