uIEC enclosure

thingiverse

This is a custom case for Jim Brain's uIEC floppy emulator that plugs directly into a Commodore C64 computer via the tape port edge connector and IEC pigtail. You can purchase the uIEC, tape port connector, and IEC pigtail from http://store.go4retro.com. Instructions to assemble this case: 1. Print out both parts of the enclosure. 2. Securely attach the tape port connector into its designated slot using epoxy resin. 3. Slide the uIEC module into the adjacent smaller slot which features mounting holes for the LEDs, allowing it to drop down onto its mounting pegs. 4. Route the IEC pigtail through the hole located on the right-hand side of the case. 5. Attach the cover plate securely - due to some minor clearance issues, additional adhesive like epoxy might be required for an extra-secure hold. The available interior space behind the uIEC PCB offers sufficient room for drilling holes and attaching disk-swapping buttons; however, I chose not to pre-drill these holes in this design since their sizes will depend on the chosen type of button hardware.
