Re: Let's create the FSSK/FEXT = DONE !!!!

Re: Re:
Here are the very final files that I have sent to "pcbway". I just hope that they used this version that I submitted via email after the order was made, I added some instructions in the bottom silk layer to clarify that the pads were only in the connector. The zip contains the deltacad, diptrace an...

Re: (Model MF) Remodeling the Model M (aka.. the Mara)
Hello guys ... (yes, I am back ... not in full as I am really busy, but I have logged in again). The real stopper for the FSSK and FEXT are the flippers. I need to test if they can be 3d printed. This would allow to fully transform a model M into an F at a reasonable cost. BTW: I keep typing with my...

@DMA - I have only browsed through the thread and it seems very interesting. It would be a pity not to continue. My experience in prototyping is that indeed, people in general may not be interested, but some would support it. I will for sure. Project MF was to be a proof that CS actually works. With...

As you know, I bought the Model M as NIB - good luck finding NIB german ISO caps

You will have an option to go back to the good religion of ANSI.

it makes it truly special It seems to me that this is the project that people have been yearning and lusting and dreaming for over the years, particularly if the metal case becomes real.
