FM Towns Marty 2/4MB RAM expansion card reproduction

Very good job.If that electrolytic capacitor is a problem for the top cover I can use a smaller/lower one or a tantalum one.

Ok the main box is complete. Nice tight fit around the connector. Everything is so carefully dialed in that I can probably remove the recessed screw holes entirely because it’s a very nice friction fit. I also increased the thickness of the base so that it sits flat on the shelf behind the Marty without putting any downward strain on the connector (though I accidentally made the extension a fraction smaller but that visible line has already been fixed). The top is almost done, but creating the slide switch to integrate with the top will be tricky.
and final print in a filament as close as you can get to the marty colors :)

good work!

I don’t think it will be an issue - it isn’t much taller than the connector so it’s not really adding much to the height. Have top finished just trying to work on a slide switch now.
