If you have a project you've done this year that you're particularly proud of, post it here (photos, links, whatever you want). We'll end up with replies full of awesome projects!

@arturo182 I built up a ZX81+38 from MAHJONGG's PCB design (Modern recreation of the ZX81 using discrete 74xx chips instead of ULA), and created a custom mechanical keyboard, custom keycaps, and enclosure for it. An IO expansion and ROM customization are still ongoing projects.

@swetland I'm being gifted a ZX81 and have ordered the keyboard parts, but I am having problems finding a new case to mount it all in. I'm presuming that you made that one yourself? I couldn't find the file for the case on the github. Grateful for any pointers please. I usually get companies to print things for me as I don't have my own printer.

@msknight Sadly, I haven't gotten around to actually finishing the case. I could probably scare up the FreeCAD files, but I'm not terribly happy with the design -- it's probably more useful as an inspiration for designing a nicer enclosure than just printing and using.

@swetland No worries. Fully understand. I don't have any design experience, so I wouldn't be able to alter the cad files myself, either. I'll keep searching! Thanks very much for the design work you've made available.

@swetland Would it be possible to have a copy of the case files as far as you've got please? It's about time I learned to do 3d modelling.
