Handy Color Computer CoCo SDC FD-501 Style Case by BrendaEM

Last crawled date: 2 years, 10 months ago

Note: This case requires some effort to carefully remove the support material. This took me about 45 minutes to poke them out with a precision/small flat-bladed screwdriver. Also, the support material should only go part way up, as the upper areas don't require support material (see Slic3r screenshot)
I am pleased with my CoCo SDC, but I wanted the case to look like the old FD-501 floppy controller. The end-cap was also given vents to help cooling.
The interior of this case is based on: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1592139
As for the rest of it, the case was redesigned to look like an Tandy FD-501. I included graphics that can be printed on label stock, which can be stuck on the case. Kinkos can do this for about $4, or you can print it on label stock, and then use clear tape over the graphics.
In the picture, I lightly sanded my 3D print, Scotbrited it, but didn't buff it much, because I wanted it semi-gloss. Oddly, I used clenser for a matter finish.
