Ok, I tried to attach the files for the modified A4000T front panel, but it wont allow .stl files or .zip files. So I have uploaded them here:


Understand I'm not a pro 3D designer, but it worked for me. included is what I call a "lightbox" the point of this was to contain the light so it only shone outwards through the lettering. Probably better printing this in black though. This is where I put the 3 x 5mm 20 mA (forward voltage of UV 3.0V) LED's in parallel with a 100 ohm resistor, connected to a Hard drive molex connector via the psu 12v supply. I Will post pictures from the rear of it tomorrow evening.
This is great because it removes the need for the original drive tray holder mine currently clashes with my accelerator.
 
While I had a 3D print done (in Mexico) of my A4000D front fascia, I'd love to see someone publish the files for an A4000T front door, one piece door and one for a clear window.

Some T owner must know a 3D enthusiast with a scanning camera...

There are lots of Amiga owners dying for this option out there

I had this printed by somebody I found on Etsy. I should receive it sometime this week. I'll post an update after I receive it.

You wouldn't even need a scanning camera to create the Commodore A4000T panel.

The Commodore A4000T Functional Specification aka A4000T/040 Advance Engineering Release #310 contain detailed drawings including all measurements to create the Commodore A4000T front bezel, door bezel and door window.

Do you know if there is a file like this for the Escom version? I was happy to see the paint colors Commodore used for the case and plastic. Wondering if it's the same for Escom models.

And there is a PLA based on the A500 colors

I sold a doorless A4000T here a while ago, and I need to get this info to the buyer, Thanks!
 
Someone killed an original amiga 1200 case for that bay panel
On one hand...I know. I noted/suggested in first post that the choice should be to kill the 600s. :)
On the other hand...it looks so right! Plus, there are many of those cases, and of course replacements available, so a few tower owners can...kill. 3D printing is cool...but that debossed AMIGA is a genuine mark of authenticity.

If had a tower, which is already the ultimate Amiga commitment by every metric, I would make 5 1/4 insert out of a 1200 case to address the Commodore oversight and ensure my tower had the debossed AMIGA and claim the throne of Tower Group Presidency. :)
 
Escom T-Rex with picasso4 and phase5 060 here

Just an ex here. Used to own two, both NOS. One bought in DK although without accessories "only" KB and mouse, otherwise brand new.

The other, was fully NOS ESCOM from SoftHut originally I think. The box, the feet, keys, rails, polys, all documentation, software the works. All shrink-wrapped, and bagged. Scratch-foil still on the smoked front panel. The whole thing even smelled new. Snow-white. Sold during the pandemic due to life re-evaluation. Bought by a Swiss collector.

Regretted selling both. And also didn't. What use of them in a box doing nothing?

I didn't regret it, but your fully right there, just in the box not being used is like having a Ferrari 288 GTO sitting in a garage under a Ferrari cover doing nothing, just go out and drive it!
I know where most machines are, the 2nd 4000T is a bit of an unknown as that was sold on by Marvin to someone in California. But the first is here in the Netherlands, just like the 3000T, so if they need to be rescued, not a problem!

But that door printing is a good idea, we should definitely look into that, would be good as some doors are just falling apart

Most home based printers are not big enough to print the doors. So maybe PCBWAY can do do it, as they offer 3D printing.

Thats the case you see next to my A4KT in the picture I posted at the beginning of this thread its a Micronik case to take a A4000D motherboard
