I often see posters mention using 3D prints to replace stuff like brackets, front panels, buttons, keys and so on but wouldn't it be a good idea to have a (stickied?) topic where we collect 3D print designs for retro needs? It would make it a lot easier for those looking for replacements parts to find everything in a single location.

Just yesterday I (or rather my wife, at work) printed mount for OLED display on my Gotek drive.

You can find it on Thingiverse: Gotek drive emulator OLED mod

Ghost town... let's bring this back to life.

I'm using a Longer LK5 Pro for large PLA prints, and my super old Powerspec 3D Pro for ABS prints.

The prints below are with Jessie Amiga 500 color PLA.

Printed a floppy housing + Gotek 3.5" bay tray on Chrismas day.

And printing this right now.. Baby-AT case I designed in Sketchup yesterday. It is just the front panel. The 5.25" + 3.5" bay holder that mounts to it is almost done too -- I just need to get the screw hole placement put in the 3D model. Size is roughly 275mm tall by 175mm wide. The back side has holes for 10mm 6-way cube mounts that will be super glued in place, then lexan/acrylic will be what the rest of the case is made from. It should hopefully go together pretty easy.

This topic included some useful files to 3D print IO shields for ATX cases to accept AT motherboards:
ATX I/O shield models for 3D printing

Here's a 3D print to fit Baby AT motherboards into certain mATX cases:
Re: Bought these (retro) hardware today

Here's a topic about a 3d print file for a replacement MT-32 knob:

Edit: added second topic and link

It printed nice.. however a few of my dimensions are a millimeter or two off. Need to revise the design slightly, then it will all fit.

I thought it died before it took off 😀 Probably very useful for those with a 3D printer though (I doubt I could afford one even if I had the space 😀 )

During Black Friday you could a solid 3D printer for €168 (Artillery Genius) so it's really not THAT expensive. I print stuff all the time - only thing I've yet to find is a filament that has just the right colour of beige to fit a standard PC case. I got close though but it's a little too reddish.

Microcenter had the Creality Ender 3 Pro for $99 just before Chrismas. I picked up my Longer LK5 Pro (300x300x400mm prints) for $188 shipped on Aliexpress's 11/11 sale. They're definitely cheap these days. I paid around $700 for my PowerSpec 3D Pro back in 2014 or so.. 🤣.

Looks great! What filament did you use?
