YouTube Walk-Through:
Introducing the Modular Commodore Case. This case is intended to fit the following Commodore 8-Bit Computers:
- Commodore VIC-20/VC-20
- Commodore 64 (Breadbin)
- Commodore 64C
- Commodore 16
The case consists of the base shell, removable motherboard tray, and plain cover. The case is designed to be printed on any FDM printer with a bed size of 225mm x 225mm or larger. The base has keyed sections to ensure proper alignment and is secured using 12mm M2.5 bolts and nuts. The base also has groves near the top to allow the cover to be secured with tension tabs.
The tray is split into two sections, each being secured to the motherboard with three M4 bolts in the standard screw holes. Currently, the 3MF file contains a tray perfectly fitting the C64 Rev A breadbin motherboard. A tray for the VIC-20 is in design now and when I can get my hands on a C16, I will create a tray for that as well. The tray has a notched slot that allows the base to expose a hole for the seventh mounting point for the C64 Rev A motherboard, which locks the motherboard and tray to the base. The motherboard tray has a removable notch to allow the C64 keyboard cable to pass through.
The plain cover is split evenly and fits snugly to the base and fills the gap above the motherboard tray. Future variants will include a Gridfinity base (4x4) built right in. Another variant will allow mounting active cooling to the inside of the cover.
The base and cover can be combined in your slicer to be printed as a single part if you have a printer capable of 410mm in either X or Y axis.
This project has been about two months in the making and has been an incredible learning experience. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful.
