Slim C64 user port cartridge case

thingiverse

A sleek housing for the module you designed, specifically tailored to fit Commodore 64's user port connector. In my setup, I incorporated an ESP8266 MCU+WiFi module into the case, along with the user port connector. Thanks to the firmware I developed, it enables users to establish telnet connections over the Internet using vintage serial terminal programs to access still-active BBSes and MUDs. The housing features a hole that can be utilized for a cable, LED, or switch. The transparent plastic allows users to see through LEDs on PCBs, making them visually appealing. The lid is actually a bottom cover, designed to snap into place due to its snug fit. A standard user port connector can be securely fastened from the inside of the case to the plastic holes in the connector. Both case parts are labeled with clear instructions: "THIS SIDE UP" and "THIS SIDE DOWN," serving as a crucial safety precaution against inserting the user port cart upside down, which could lead to significant damage and smoke. https://github.com/jsalin/esp8266_modem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiP5Clx3D_s
