[Coco] 3d printing

[Rietveld Rietveld]

Thanks. I will dig for it

Right now I am trying to use TinkerCAD.     I am able to get the outside dimensions, but the insides seem to be well beyond my skill set

I am going to print a hollow cart right now and see how it looks. I may have to pass off the print to someone else who has more CAD knowledge then me to work on the inside board mounts

I am still not sure it will even be close to the commercial ‎ quality of your molded cases

FWIW, I remember covering a story in the news segment on an episode
of The CoCo Crew Podcast, where some individual had produced a 3D
design for a CoCo cartridge and made it available for download.

I'm sorry, but I can't recall the episode -- you'll have to dig
through the show notes:

Good luck!
