Atari 800 PI Case by charlesmouse

I have a bit of a thing for old computers, especially if made by Acorn, But I'm not picky and I'd quite like an original Atari 800. Sadly they are going for silly money these days, so what to do?
I've not seen an Atari 800 model on Thingyverse so I thought I'd make one. I deliberately made it quite large to allow for some accuracy and detail, also so there's lots of room inside for electronics - the models provided have mounts for a Raspberry PI but there's plenty of room for other options.
I'd suggest cranking the detail up a bit when printing, and so at 100% it will take a good while to print but the advantage is the parts are large enough to be made functional:
-A USB hub and some micro USB connectors should see functional joystick ports
-There should be room for a proper power switch, volume knob, and type A USB on the left side
-The keys can be separated and are (just) large enough that a functional keyboard could be created...
...among other options.
Or you could just print the whole thing as one piece at whatever size you like and paint it.
