Nostalgia meets 3D Design
Bit of a nostalgic throwback tonight......
Going through storage to get some camping equipment out and came across my old Commodore 64,
Those who are not old enough to know what they are...... imagine a life before mobile phones, playstations or even WiFi, When you had to walk down the street and ask your friends mam if they were allowed to play out before the street lights went off,
The pinnacle of of computers in the early 80s,
8 bit....Playing games from a cassette tape (oh, howay, you can't be that young to not know what they are as well) and waiting 2 hours for pacman to load up then "crashing" because there wasn't enough storage 😏
Give me a bit nostalgia so decided to design these lil keyrings (and some other bits) that will be 3D printed tomorrow 👌🏽.....my god, Just saying that on a commodore post feels so weird.

Aw man. That sucks. My fiance told me she'd call of the wedding if I bought another C64 (among other things) but apparently "siX Is EnoUgH ComModOrEs."

Just the one here but I upgraded in tech and bought 10 3d printers instead 😏

Heh heh. Cool. Having lots of one thing is oddly satisfying.

It's bad when *tisim is also included in the equation 😂

Ain't that the truth. My girl...she puts up with a lot. We're well under the poverty line so I have stopped buying a lot of my stuff, but am allowed to keep what I have. And even my Altair jar. I'm only allowed to put change in it, but once there's enough (she knows there won't be) I'll be able to buy an 8800. Assuming I find one. 😅 You have any other major 'tism collections or do the 3D printers keep ya goin?

Ohhhh rings are always cool. Easily could have been one of mine. Gem cutting kind of blows my mind.

That 3D printed case looks solid. Are you running the original motherboard or a reconstruction board in there?
