I'm working on a 3D printed Commodore 1541-II case, time for the lid. Eventually found that printing this model upright got me the best result. The print's fine except a fracture on the right side, it was there even when the thing was on the printer bed. I guess the nicely modelled vents cause a structural issue right there. I'm not too worried, I'll get some clear UV resin and reinforce it from the inside. When the lid is in place, there'll be zero stress on that part. #commodore #commodore1541 #3dprinting #floppydrive
