@electron_greg I will do my best, personal life makes all day events difficult.

@maxime_andre I bought the screen from buydisplay.com
Very helpful people and great screens. This is based on the RA8875 controller so has some built in functions.

@electron_greg Thank you, I will do a video.
Not sure if I can get to an event, possibly #Retrofest in Swindon (UK).

@M0CUV to be honest, I've no idea how long this lasts.
I should probably test it somehow....

@BetaRayBiff Credit where credit is due, not my idea, I just implemented it :)

@agowa338 it's fairly simple to replace, maybe takes 5 minutes.

@agowa338 I remember fixing laptops with that sort of thing, so easy to break and a pain to work on as you say.
I will think of something for the next version :)

@ekaitz_zarraga They're actually really sturdy, I took the idea from here - https://www.printables.com/model/658393-friction-hinge-mechanism/comments#preview.file.aPNjd
You can adjust the stiffness easily.
They won't last forever like metal hinges, but I couldn't find any available to buy.

@agowa338 I wasn't sure if I could sand the PLA, wouldn't that melt it and spoil it?
The ribbon is less than ideal, I did look at trying to make a long hinge, to pass it through, but couldn't quite figure out how.

@PixRetro It's the Bambu translucent red.

What would I do differently?
1) Start the design with the keybed, it's a bit squeezed in (I'm not happy with the placement of a few keys).
2) spend longer sourcing a thinner battery (this is 3x18650s)
3) Use an FFC for the display (this would make the display portion about 10mm thinner straight away!)
4) Reduce the smaller fiddly bits in the case, a lot of the problems I had were down to me trying to print things with 0.1mm resolution.
5) Add more clips for the case so it doesn't gape in places

More shots with the lid “closer”, not perfect but for a first go I’m ok with it.

#LT6502 #retrocomputing

My #LT6502 is assembled.
The hinges work really well, if a tad fiddly to get right.
The case, well there are a few gaps here and there, this could be improved with more clips.
Also I’ve learned a lot about 3D printing and there is a lot I would change.
But overall, I’m happy with it.
It’s a bit of a chonker but that honestly doesn’t bother me.
#retrocomputing

Here is the #pc6502 stack so far.
I’m still working on the AIISlot PCB but so far it looks good.
Thank you to Mr #Rc2014 for the CF card.
I’ve started work on the keyboard interface, I expect it’ll be a couple of weeks before I have any update on that (PCB design, order, assembly, etc)
The red card is an apple II transputer adapter.
