[Coco] 3d printed ROM pak case

[Scott Wendt]

I successfully printed the cartridge top and the bottom is printing now. Once properly scaled the models are fine. Some experimentation for the best orientation for your printer might be necessary but from what I can see the case will be completely sufficient for a standard coco cartridge.

My current plan is to try and mount the cocoflash board I have in this case.

Hi again Scott,

I imported the program pk case bottom stl into Simplify 3D and it detected it was in inches format and asked if I wanted to import it as millimetre format.  I said yes and it auto scaled it by 2540, sorry my previous email had the wrong scale factor.

So the size in mm’s should be:
X 107.95, Y 76.20 & Z 16.51

Cheers,
Glen
