Atari 800 PI Case

thingiverse

I have a soft spot for vintage computers, particularly those made by Acorn. I'm not fussy, though - an original Atari 800 would be fantastic. Unfortunately, they're now commanding outrageous prices, so I had to think outside the box. I scoured Thingyverse but couldn't find a suitable model, so I decided to create my own. I deliberately designed it with plenty of room inside for electronics, complete with mounts for a Raspberry PI and other options. I recommend cranking up the detail when printing this design - it'll take some time at 100%, but the end result will be well worth it. The parts are substantial enough to make them functional: -A USB hub and micro USB connectors can be used to create working joystick ports -There's ample space for a proper power switch, volume knob, and type A USB on the left side -The keys can be separated and are just large enough that you could create a fully functional keyboard ...and there are many other possibilities. Alternatively, you could print the entire thing as one piece at any size you like and give it a coat of paint.
