1050 fascia 3D print file

[xrbrevin]

i recently acquired a 1050 for spares which came without a fascia. happily the drive was easily resurrected with just a new zero sensor so i designed a fascia for 3D printing.

it might also be of use for people who add switches to their drive - no need to drill the original, just print an expendable one!

Good job. We need more files for replacement hardware parts like this. By the same token I wish someone had created files for the Atari 800 Hitech  key caps, (especially for the yellow type keyboards).

multicolor 3 printers could make some with chars on them too

Did you "print" this into a physical thing for your drive? I tried once to 3d-print a faceplate from a previously available STL and in my case it was difficult to print, didn't fit, and looked ugly

there are different 1050 drives that line up slightly differently on the front and I found the hard way they are not interchangeable

This MIGHT just fit on my build plate with a BCH (technical term) to spare on either end.  If so, I'll try it so I can finally modify a faceplate for my Mega Speed drive.

i have a glass buildplate so i printed the thing face-down. this gives it a nice smooth finish except for the area around the power switch/LED. this required supports which has left a rough finish, i think if i apply decorators tape at the point where supports end and fascia begins then it should improve. to determine this i may have to print another prototype and observe the print height (z-axis) at the time.

 

the max width is 193mm. i had to adjust my printer settings in the slicer software - increase the width of the buildplate in small increments until the object became valid. when printing, there was still decent room on either side 🙃

 

this design is for the Tandon 1050s, we dont seem to get the World Storage ones in the UK.

 

i will take pics tomorrow in natural light and upload them to here. i doubt my camera could handle a black object under artificial light!

still had to use the flash - British weather!...
