A pair of Micro SD card readers might be the right scale.

Huh, neat idea. If I will get this 3D printed I might paint or draw over some SD cards in a floppy disk look 😁

Just slap a sticker on them. Like we used to when we had diskettes.

As someone else who's hugely hung up on attention to detail - two thumbs up from me. 😁

I posted this on r/RetroBattleStations but I figured y’all would appreciate it as well.

Beautiful micro replica ! I think you did an awesum job.

Would do the screen curvature with glass or clear plastic. One side curved, rhe other flat.

Holy CRAP! This is the reason to buy a 3D printer! Excellent work!

Super cool

So I guess the STL files were never posted?

Damnit, this is amazing.

And I've been eyeing off an Ender 3 for a couple of weeks now. Trying NOT to buy it!

Maybe with a cheap rectangular magnifying glass?

This!

Interesting idea. This reminds me of the fake Amigas made for a museum.
I hope it's okay if I add a link to an old hackaday.com article here.:

I hope you people don't mind. I don't mean to start an Amiga-PC discussion here, whatsoever.
Because, this thread/topic is too precious for such things.
So if you want, I'll remove this post no problem.

It's just that the screen "issue" is similar.
The Amiga replicas used LCDs, too and the solution to the monitor was a special, curved lense.

Amazing project! Any update on the STL files for this? Thanks

I haven’t seen any updates from the OP.

Well this thread inspired me to go out and get a 3D printer during Black Friday sales. Now to learn TinkerCAD so I can make some cool stuff! So thank you for the story of your build and impressive project.
