I feel like that photoshop guy that "fixes"pictures for people. (https://twitter.com/fjamie013?lang=en) Here ya go: In seriousness though, where would you want the Atari Logo? Also, I take no credit for this. These are LITERALLY 5-minute tweaks to a design that, I'm sure, took hours, if not days to create. If you want to tweak it too, the Tinkercad model is here: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/4LDNU6mPgEg Kyle22 SDrive Max Case.stl

Tajvdz SDrive Max Case v.3.stl EDIT: Added the back STL file without the tab Tajvdz SDRive Max Case Back.stl

I cleaned up the lines around the crops. Tajvdz SDrive Max Case v.2.stl

How about this? Tajvdz SDrive Max Case.stl

You could do this by importing both models into Tinkercad (free web-based 3-d model editor) and manipulating the models. It's really easy to start using. Give it a try! It's really not that hard to use. Trust me.

Another way to do this is to put indented text on the case and then print the letters separatly in another color and glue them into the indentations. I did something like this with a base I made for a nutcracker I printed from Thingiverse. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4049157

Unless you mean you have two models and just want to print them at the same time. That is fairly easy to do in your slicer (assuming they both fit in your printer's build volume).

Like most things, it depends on the complexity of the stl files and the skills of the person doing it. It's not like you can just concatenate them. You have to open them in an editor and munge around with them.

Not sure which one you are looking at, but it comes down to print volume. Whatever you want to print has to be equal or smaller than the print volume. the problem with buying 3-D printed things is that 3-D printers are slow. Many relatively simple things can take the better part of a day to print. for me, if I had something that took 8 hours to print, I might be able to do 3 per day because I have to sleep and go to work. it’s just not worth it for me to print things for people and charge them. so, things cost more than they “should” to have printed, printers have reached the point where it’s quite possible that if you have 2 or 3 things printed, you could have bought a printer.

I think part of the problem is there just weren't enough pixels to create something iconic. Pitfall Harry was one of the earliest games to try to make a humanoid character we could all relate to. It wasn't until the NES came out, that home systems had enough pixels and colors to make something that people could really relate to. I mean, can you think of anything as iconic for other systems prior to NES?

Oh, we used to DREAM of shopping at Aldi!

Definitely the main character from Adventure! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4060400

Well I found a reference here: https://archive.org/stream/analog-computing-magazine-45/Analog_Computing_45_1986-08_Language_Issue_djvu.txt

As people have stated above, this exists in several forms now. Just not easily available and not for $100.

Why would I want to do that? ? I understand the issue. I’m saying it could be done. I’m not saying it would be economically viable. I really don’t think the demand would be there. If there was enough demand, that price point might be possible. I do not believe the demand to hit those volumes exists. don’t even get me started on the potential lawsuits for intellectual property.

Uhm. What about the Eclaire XL? Modern hardware that has the cartridge port and SIO port and USB ports and HDMI port. It has EVERYTHING the old-school Atari's have and the new bells and whistles of the current hardware mods. I really enjoy mine, and the price was pretty reasonable (especially considering the price of an incognito or similar upgrade for XL)

I tried to enter the BASIC program. I fixed several OCRos, but it still doesn't draw right? I spent some time debugging it, but then was like, I don't want to relive this guys night, so I stopped. If anyone has the actual BASIC program already entered, it'd be great if you could share. Thanks.

This looks like a fun way to spend some free time around the holidays. Thanks!

I revceived an Atari 2600 for Christmas probably around 1979. I knew I was getting it and worked with my parents to find the best deal. There was a department store called Elder Beerman. They advertised on the back of the TV supplement in the Sunday paper every week and showed it for a decent price and pictured the keyboard controllers with it. I was like, I don't know what the keyboard controllers can be used for, but there must be something, so my Mom bought it there. Christmas morning, I opened it up and there were no keyboard controllers. My Mom called and pointed out the omission (The ad was still running each Sunday) and they said that it was obvious by the price that the controllers would not be included, My Mom Vehemently disagreed and threatened to go to the Consumer watch-dog group on the local news channel. They gave in and gave her the controllers. (Still weeks later, the controllers were still being shown in the ad...) So, I had these controllers and nothing to do with them. I asked around at the local stores and eventually found the Atari Basic Programming cartridge. 5 minutes in, I was hooked. I could control my Atari 2600 in a way I never knew possible. Atari 800 followed a few years later, I took Pascal in high school, decided I wanted to do this for a living, went to college, earned a Systems Analysis degree, got a job programming in IBM Mainframe assembler for a bank and still work for that bank 30 years later. (While we still have mainframe systems, most of what I do now is Windows and UNIX.) So, yeah, it changed my life. -Todd

I bought 2 of thee: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ERJIA42/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And one of these (cut in half to connect to the power supplies above. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CQR5L1C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have not had any issues using these.

@TheRaven81, Go here: Download ATASCIIView.zip. In Altirra, Go to System -> Configure System On the left, under Peripherals, click Devices. Then click Add... Scroll down and select Host device (H:) Enter a path to a location on your computer. Click OK Load a basic program on your computer. Type this in BASIC: LIST "H:PROGRAM.TXT" (Where PROGRAM.TXT is the name you want to output the file with.) Open that program with ATASCIIView.zip Save it or print it, etc...

unfortunately, that does not solve the OP's problem. Listing basic files this way will not output the special ctrl characters. Also, if you do this, you want to use H6 instead of H1 so it adds the correct carriage returns.

You mean the urban legend about the kid who put the floppy with his term paper on it in the refrigerator with a magnet and lost everything is not true?

I can attest that the checks that are there saved me when I misunderstood the instuctions on how the flashing software worked. So, it's good that it is there!
