[Coco] Re: 3d printed EPROM cartridge housings

   I that's what I thought I remembered from searching the extensions on
   your 3d models.  I opened your ST files in Slic3r and it looked ok, but
   the gcode appeared empty.  I tried different tools and methods with
   same results.   Then I loaded them in 123 3D and scaled them up 10x and
   that seems to have done the trick.  Don't know why scaling was even an
   issue.

   How do you like KiCad?  You got me hooked on Eagle over a year ago and
   yes, your EPROM boards load in the free version.  I'm still using that
   version for all of my projects.  I plan on upgrading to a hobbyist
   license eventually,  but I think the dimension limitations are no
   better than the free version.   I've been keeping everything as small
   as possible and only 2 layers due to cost.

   Yes, I created the plastic case model in a commercial program called
   Cobalt (from Ashlar), which I have access to through work. Well, for
   the next couple of weeks, anyway... I'm changing jobs. I'm going to try
   out a much cheaper commercial program called Fusion 360 from Autodesk
   very soon. It's one of those danged cloud-based tools that I loathe on
   general principal, but it includes the CAM feature that I need for some
   CNC machining tasks, and it's much cheaper (in the short term, anyway).
   For PCB design, I've been using an open-source tool called KiCad. My
   CoCo cartridge PCBs were done in the commercial version of Eagle, back
   before I switched to KiCad. They might open in the free version of
   Eagle, but I haven't tried it.
