SE/30 Testbench case

Another quick 3D printed widget, this time for a SE/30 LB. I typically have one on my desk with either an original chassis with extension cords or one of caymac's RGBtoHDMIs sent to me by @Jockelill. I figured it was time to give it a little more dignity and protection. Board slides and latches in place and has cutouts for 3M SJ5400 small rubber feet on the bottom. Supports beneath the board allow pressing on the slots and sockets without overly flexing it.

Around 150g of plastic, 230mm * 235mm. If you have good overhang performance, you might be able to print without supports, I turned them on to be safe (but then you'll have a job cleaning out the rails for the LB).

Can you tell me more about your bench speaker shown in the picture? Where did you get it?

Also, why do you have a serial cable going to your ROM SIMM :) What interesting thing is going on there!

Thanks for this case! I'd like to get my hands on two of them for my SE/30s, but I haven't been able to find a library or maker space near me capable of printing something that large.

The bench speaker is just a random high impedance speaker stolen from a deskphone headset. Nothing terribly fancy, I'm afraid

The ROM SIMM is one of my ISP-SIMMs, it normally has a USB cable also for programming and a bank select switch. It's foundational to all the hardware development I do as I can push bare-metal code to it very quickly. Still one of my favorite things I've made.

Unfortunately it is larger than the usual ~220 odd mm beds on the common midsized printers, I've got a bambu with a slightly larger bed so I was barely able to make it fit. If you find someone with a Bambu also I think all of their beds ought to be large enough (256*256)
