I finished printing and testing the files so I am happy to share. Take a look at the video to see how I assemble the parts used.

That looks awesome! I've just received my board and add-ons, and am wanting something interesting as a case - that looks like it does the job very well!

Just bought the plans. Don't even have a 3-D printer. Guess I'm gonna have to start asking my friends.

The site from which I bought the plans is giving a deceptively low price to print it. Would you mind looking through to see what it needs to print correctly? I really do not know what I’m doing.
(Edit) A friend of mine who is in the long, arduous process of 3-D printing Iron Man’s armor looks like he’s going to help me out with this.

This is intense! Great job!

They are only printing the first part from the zip file. I can tell from the scale they show 10x18.5x5 mm
so you would have to upload each part separately

This is great!
I tried to get a quote to print it from the same site (threeding.com) but it won't let you add the top cover parts to the order. They seem to goof up the web interface and say they are $0 to print, with delivery date of 1970.
The rest of the parts you can add...

I think I will have to mention a few things to the site too, the zip file uploaded only shows a single part in the 3d view too so they have a few bugs to fix.rcade wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 12:33 am This is great!

I got quotes from several printers, and the lowest was $125. The highest was crazy-high... thousands.

I post loads of updates in twitter if you want to see and I just printed the case as a single part on a big printer.

I finished the revisions for the smaller Ajazz keyboard version and also uploaded the RPI3 for the tenkless keyboard. same link as the first https://www.threeding.com/user/leejsm1th

Does anyone have any completed prints with keyboards ?

Would it be possible to have a revision that supports a full-width keyboard? I enjoy a lot of older DOS games that use the numpad and it would be amazing if the setup was modular enough to work with a full-width keyboard.

There is an option for a full size keyboard mentioned in the video: https://youtu.be/wmXbRdR733Q?t=1447

I checked out the Threeding website where he's got his models posted and the MiSTer case doesn't appear to include the spacer he mentions. It isn't shown in the pictures, nor is it mentioned in the description. Is it actually in the download and just not shown?ash2fpga wrote: ↑Fri Dec 04, 2020 4:37 pm There is an option for a full size keyboard mentioned in the video: https://youtu.be/wmXbRdR733Q?t=1447

I have begun printing this. Going great so far. I let my printing software add some support. Finished the first part, I had set the quality pretty high so it took 20 hours. Now I am doing the second part and set the quality lower and it should take 10 hours. Should be at least 9 hours left. I am printing it all in black. I will share some photos when I have more parts.

I'm tempted to try a print, but my printer is really small (13x13cm bed) so probably not worth it.
Hope yours comes out great though! Good luck!

Yeah, it seems these parts require the printer to be 20x20cm. Mine is 30x30 or a bit more I guess. I think its 35 in one of the axis. I guess you could probably split it up into even smaller parts, but that would probably be tedious and the result might not be worth it anyway.
I have almost finished the third part. The part for the MiSTer itself, so then I just need the two top parts and the USB part. The USB part I will need to modify though. Also this third part I am a bit unsure about. It has a lot of plastic strings going around the model, I hope I can clean that up when its finished.

HI, I did have this setup for my Logitech G413 so have some very early designs, what keyboard would you want to use It could need to be changed for too many keyboards so not something I continued withmbalmer wrote: ↑Fri Dec 04, 2020 5:18 pmI checked out the Threeding website where he's got his models posted and the MiSTer case doesn't appear to include the spacer he mentions.

what keyboard ? I have very early version for my Logitech G413 carbon, but it would need to many versions for all the keyboards around.

I have found some different free tools to help with it, but many also suggest a program called Simplify3D, it does cost money though.leejsmith wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 8:36 amHI, how and why will you mod the usb part can I help ?Caldor wrote: ↑Tue Dec 08, 2020 9:53 amYeah, it seems these parts require the printer to be 20x20cm.

I looked at the STL files though and found that the guy who created this project had already updated these STL files before I downloaded them to support newer USB hubs for the MiSTer than the one he had. So I have printed the one he designed and now I just need some of the right screws and adapters to put it all together. I think a keyboard might be waiting for me at home otherwise I have another keyboard that should fit this case.

Hehe
It was here. Might not be the exact model meant for this as at the bottom the keyboard is a bit high it seems. But still fits in pretty nice. The switches are more noise than my "silent" mechanical keyboard, so I guess this Corsair keyboard that I normally use does have improved sound reduction... but its still really high compared to non-mechanical keyboards.I still need some screws and adapters for it though so I can put it together.
