Panels for Checkmate 1500+ case

thingiverse

This is my take at some brackets for various accessories on the Checkmate 1500+ case. I did these specifically for my A500+ Vampire V2 accelerator so I can access all the storage and various ports. The drive bay is a remix of Terry Carter's 5.25" Gotek bay (NOTE, you'll need the mount plate for the board from here!!!) (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4253641) I added a spot for a microSD extension (Be careful which ones you buy for this as some can damage the SD slot on the Vampire!!! I used this one and it's been good for the last 6+ months: (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X3Y4BBB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) - Note, this one isn't tested yet - printing now, so it might change. For the CF/IDE adapter I made the mount to go in the lower front area. I'm connecting using 40 pin IDE, so also needed to add the floppy power connector access. The rear center panel is a remix of what Kendrick Hughes posted here: (https://www.stlfinder.com/model/amiga-2000-vampire-microsd-lan-hdmi-backplate-DzEk1cTp/8326163/?fbclid=IwAR1Z2fGJANJCs_YQh-ap7ApFvJcpydSWO48J89QWDIAhOunSzuMt-qt4vtA) Note that the mount holes on his seemed to be wrong (didn't line up with my case's mount holes. This version holds HDMI and Ethernet panel mounts. I tried to get the miniUSB on there too, but there wasn't enough room. (I used this Ethernet: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y4J9MZ4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and this HDMI: (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MRGHNM9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) The Mini USB panel mount in the slot cover is for hooking up a USB blaster (inside the case). Between the 4 you should be able to do pretty much anything you should ever need to without opening the case again - SD, CF, Firmware upgrades, ethernet, etc. Thanks to Stephen Jones for his awesome case, Terry Carter for his work on the Gotek mount+front panel, and Kendrick Hughes for this initial back panel design. I printed all these on my Prusa Mk3S with PETG at .1 layer heights. Note: There is a new version of the Gotek cover plate now. The original version was too thick for the threads of the rotary encoder to go through. Should be fine now. NOTE: best orientation to print the Gotek panel is on it's side, with the Rotary encoder hole and space for the SD adapter end down on the plate.
