Tandy 2500SX Series 3.5in Front Bay Blank

Replacement front bay blanking plate for Tandy 2500SX-series computers.

This part was modeled from an original OEM blank and test-fitted in an original Tandy 2500SX front bezel. It is intended to replace missing or damaged bay blanks commonly lost over the years.

Unlike the original injection-molded part, this reproduction includes hidden internal spring geometry to improve flexibility and durability when FDM printed. The external appearance and fit remain faithful to the original component while making installation and removal less stressful on the printed part.

Features Modeled from an original OEM part Direct replacement for missing front bay blank Hidden internal spring clip design for improved durability Optimized for FDM printing supports required Tested and verified in an original Tandy 2500SX bezel Print Settings Printer: FlashForge Adventurer 5M Material: ABS / ABS+ Orientation: Print right angle to the build plate Supports: Required Brim: Recommended when printing ABS Notes

The example print was produced in white ABS+. Original Tandy plastics were molded in a light beige color. For the most authentic restoration, print in a matching beige material or apply paint and texture to match your system.

The original part is quite rigid and can be fragile after decades of aging. This reproduction uses a redesigned internal clip structure that provides additional flexibility while remaining hidden from view once installed.
