xrbrevin Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) here is a link to 'pale ivory' 3D printer filament. im currently printing an XL fujinet case from it and will post pics when done. first impressions are that it is not quite as pale as a retrobrighted XL but it is much lighter than a yellowed case. its the closest ive found thus far. https://www.3djake.uk/fillamentum/pla-extrafill-light-ivory?sai=2755 its paler than an Acorn Electron/Model B, may be ok for an Amiga...

_The Doctor__ Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 appears to match the top 1050's upper case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzwald Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 This is what I use and it's a close match to unyellowed XL https://www.3dfuel.com/products/standard-pla-filament-bone-white-1-75mm?_pos=3&_sid=a017d4706&_ss=r 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+scorpio_ny Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Hi, A little necrobump to this post. For those who live in the USA, there is a filament that closely matches the Atari XL case. It is called Jessie Premium PLA Beige from Printed Solid (https://www.printedsolid.com/products/jessie-pla-1-75mm-x-1kg-beige-500) and it was actually formulated to print replacement parts for the Amiga 500. I thought the colors for the Amiga 500 and Atari XL were close, so I gave it a shot. Here is a photo of a case that I 3D printed last night for a project sitting on top of the 800XL that it was made for. 9 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven't happened to run across filament for the 5200 / XL dark brown by any chance, have you? Been looking for that for ages with no luck.

foft Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 For light ivory I’ve been using this: https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product/copymaster3d-premium-pla-175-mm-1000-g-white-3d-printer-filament-22660976 For black brown ral 8023 I’ve not found anything affordable yet. There is this but I can’t bring myself to pay for it! https://colorfabb.com/black-brown-ral-8022 It goes 25% off from time to time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considered where I live, first product's perfect for me 😁 But isn't it a bit too brown for XL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeberbach Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 For brown I bought this: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0CDBV8DKX?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 It could be darker but is not bad. The side panel pictured here uses it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeberbach Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) It's a Sophia 2 + Incognito. The HDMI output PCB is my own design - I'm waiting on a board revision to adjust the print slightly, will publish when finished.

+scorpio_ny Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 So here is what I was doing with my print. I really did not want to cut up my case, so I made an external enclosure for the Sophia 2 DVI and Pokeymax output. It came out well! 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually do the dvi PBI mount version, modded with audio as well. I like this one as it frees up the PBI and uses the rf out hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this one as it frees up the PBI and uses the rf out hole. Sure I can share it! I will see I can post it later today. One thing I want to point out that this was not an easy setup. The design has three pieces in which the cable must be threaded through. The cable for the Sophia 2 was fabricated in place and is more or less permanent (I have spare cable, so I can always remake it). For the Pokeymax cabling , I used shielded cable. One final thing, when screw is made, make sure the PLA material is strong. Some PLA is not strong because of formulation and would easily shear with a little pressure added. The setup works perfectly. I was playing a bunch of games with my almost Atari clone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, my Creatily Ender 3 pro is the best thing I ever bought in terms in that respect. I love being able to design and print these things, or print other people's creations. Looking forward to printing this one. Thanks for the heads up. Edit: BTW was the design intended to look like a cool retro robot?!! 😁 Edited March 30 by Beeblebrox 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Ender 3 was upgraded in several ways: 1. New heavier springs for the bed 2. Glass bed 3. BL touch sensor 4. Non Creality customized firmware that adds built in leveling with the BL Touch and other enhancements. 5. Copperhead Heat break 6. SEEMECNC EZR STRUDER 7. Creality 3D Printer enclosure 8. 3D printed knob to make removing and and advancing filament easier 9. Replaced filament motor that had pressed on filament filament feeder gear with one that accepts keyed gears with secure screw 10 Upgraded to dual gear/motor setup for the Z axis Here are the links for the STL files: Thingiverse Printables.com 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) @scorpio_ny Printed two of these out in semi-transparent 1.75mm pla filament. Printed out really well. The screw threads came out really well and all 3 x component prints fitted like a glove. Thanks for designing and sharing these. Wow, great set of upgrades for your ender 3 there.
