Amiga 1200CD

Unstable setup While designing and printing the parts for the case I also did some hardware testing to see that everything works as expected. First I upgraded the Blizzard's SIMM memory module from 16MB to 64MB and after testing it to be working I played a bit, at that moment, just released Tiny Bobble game. For some reason the game would always freeze in early phases when the turbo card was connected. Also I couldn't get the Workbench to load from the HDD. I didn't really have time at that moment to debug what caused those issues so I though that maybe the game just doesn't run properly yet with 68030 and my Workbench install in the old HDD was failing. I was going to make a new installation to CF card so I didn't want to start to check how to fix that. However later when I was testing things again I run to more stability issues. I had made an WB 3.1.4 installation to CF card with WinUAE/FS-UAE and tested that with the Amiga. I got constant lockups and many times t...

My original plan was still to use aluminium sheets for creating new front and back panels to the same old VCR case. However, I got familiar to 3D printing at my job and when the Prusa launched Prusa Mini 3D printer I decided that I will get one for my other hobbies. While waiting few months in the order queue for the printer I also started to think that maybe I could use the printer also in the Amiga project. So I started to learn 3D modeling with Fusion 360. It has free plan for personal use and it seemed to be enough for this project. I started the modeling with the front panel frame. Idea was to figure out where to place DVD-drive and floppy drive so I could cut the aluminium plates exactly to correct measurements. After some thinking I realized that it would be much easier to actually create both panels with 3D printing. Somehow I got so into 3D modeling that I ended modeling all the parts and many of them way too detailed :) But later it actually paid off as I could just check all...
