I've always wanted to have a computer case which resembles the keyboard or wedge-shape cases of the 80ies era. I owned a TI-994A and a Atari ST back then and I wanted to have something similar where I can put a MiSTer board or a RetroPi into it.

I used Blender to design the model. It's split into several pieces, it should fit a 230x230mm print bed. The side pods and side panels then have to be placed diagonally.

Recently I've used this to host a Commander X16 clone board (OtterX). That incarnation I had printed by an online 3D printing service.

I've used a XTRFY K4 TKL RGB keyboard in retro colour scheme for the MiSTer/Raspberry variant and a WASD Commander X16 keyboard for the 2nd.

This release is "as is".

I lately created additional keyboard masks and other parts for the Omega MSX project and the Commander X16.

Update 2024/01/16:
- Commander X16 specific parts (back panels)
- Alternative STL files with merged large parts for online printing services.

Update 2023/02/01: 
 - fixed model issue in "KeyboardMask-R.stl"
 - added keyboard masks for the Omega-MSX project

Update 2023/02/15:
 - added blank alternative for the BackTop-M part (without X16 logo)

Update 2023/02/16:
 - added blank alternative for the BackTop-R part (without ventilation grid)
 - fixed sidepanel L/R model issues

Update  2023/02/21:
 - updated most parts with final screw holes
 - improved strength of some parts
 - aligned all parts to the right orientation for printing
 - added zip file with all parts included
