I also think about injection molding for the cases. The good nice coloured A1200 cases are sold pretty well.
Can you advise some manufacturers for that?

I ordered mine from retropassion.co.uk but you can get the same case in translucent blue or green and apparently shipping today elsewhere, even eBay. I was tempted to grab a blue translucent case. You never know when these things will go poof, sell out to never be offered again.
damn thats clean

Out of curiousity, when will you sell the CD32 case design files?
Just released them
Now there is also an Amiga CD32
Commodore Amiga CD32 3d print enclosure | 3D Print Model
Model available for download in Stereolithography format. Visit CGTrader and browse more than 1 million 3D models, including 3D print and real-time assets

I am now waiting for some 3d-printed parts to confirm that it can be assembled.
Anyway, the files are already available.

Hi, about this A4000 keyboard case design, After buying the files from you, and submitting them to JLCPCB for printing, they have come back to me warning of a very high probability of warping due to the design. Can you confirm you or anyone else has had this printed successfully? This is what they have said:View attachment 2519073
CD32 case is finished and will be released this week
New model:

Hello customer,
We hope this email finds you well.
Sorry to bother you, but there are some details that we need to confirm with you about your 3D printing order before proceeding.
As shown below,
the parts has high risks of deformation and warping because of the geometry, will this risk be acceptable for you? Shall we proceed as per your files?
Usually, for flat parts, frame parts, enclosures with no strong ribs inside, and large unoccupied areas parts, and the models could be shrinking to the center and warping to the diagonal lines and edges. Kindly recommended that it is better to increase the thin wall thickness at least 3.5mm ,and add strong ribs to strengthen the structure of the parts.

They always reply something like that. They are usually not responsible for small defects so they ask something like that. Usually their quality is reasonably good anyway. If something is bad(scratches, holes etc) they warn about that with pictures after the printing.
Take a look on Amiga 1200 pictures before, they printed that case. It is as huge as this keyboard. And its important that such huge parts are anyway much more deformable than small ones. Generally, FDM printing gives more stable results but the quality of the surface is much worse.
Hi!
I am doing Amiga 1000 model right now. Already used this model and made front one.
Here is it:
However I plan to upload the model when it will be fully ready

Good job, Sgw32! I just bought the CD32 design files. After more than 30 years I can finally 3D print my own Amiga toilet seat!

Hi
Yes, I can. Though, it is better to wait until Amiga 1000 case project will be finally released.
It is almost ready by the way
I have original Amiga 1000 case, but the front and back are destroyed, that's why I would like to replace them, if you can print them for me I would be grateful, of course I want to pay for the workHi

My JCLPCB resin print of the A4000 keyboard case came in. Here it is, it's not perfectly flat, but once the legs are connected and used, you wouldn't notice that much. Quality is pretty good, once the two half's are put together it helps the rigidity of the whole thing. All in all not bad at all.
I know its an old post but, I do have a A3000, I live in the Netherlands. PM me, maybe we can arrange something if you like.I'm in EU for now so I can lend(or order) A3000 front bezel from someone for redrawing and I'll send it back. I'm in Slovenia.
My ultimate goal is to make new models from the rewards of previous models
Seems nice. What material did you use for this?
The whole archive came with the 2 half's and leg .stl files.
