MP32C64 Cover for Commodore 64 Datassette Player/Recorder Emulator
Description
Here is my design of a cover for the MP32C64 emulator. This design is only for the new version of the device, called MP32C64 Player/Recorder. Take a look at the pics for a clear comparison between the two versions. As you can see, there are two variants of the STL: one of them ("Regular") is compatible with the standard placement of the components on the PCB. On the top part there are two square holes, where you can move the switches inside, a hole for the potentiometer and two more holes for the LEDs. The other one ("Updated") has a different placement for the holes, and it looks, in my opinion, more elegant. On the other hand, this version will require you to desolder the switches and the LEDs from the PCB and displace them to fit in a new position, directly on the holes in the 3D printed cover. You will then need to join the new connections from the board to the components with some bodge wire. In this case, though, the switches will be far easier to reach, and the overall appearance will look more balanced. Both models have built-in supports, so you don't need to add new ones. Also, the right side of the cover is empty inside. I designed it this way to give the model a symmetrical appearance. You may consider glueing something heavy inside that empty space to make the device a little bit heavier, and more easily manageable. I would be super happy to see your makes of this design, so don’t be shy to post yours! :D
