C-100F door coming to life

[caution]

I'm reverse engineering the C-100F cassette door so they can be 3D printed.
I had to learn a 3D CAD tool, so it was slow at first, but now that I'm getting the hang of it, things are going a bit faster.
Thought you'd all enjoy a few shots, it's about halfway done.

For c100 lovers, this is a game changer

You guys should see Eric's hand-drawings of all the necessary dimensions and angles and stuff.... or you'll have no idea how complex it was. I'm guessing he must have entered at least 200 dimensions into that program.
Truly amazing

Great work for those that need conion doors

 

[T-STER]

Wow, this is awesome, i can fully appreciate how much work this must of been.

 

[hardmen]

ALIEN.

Hands Down...

 

[Northerner]

That looks an insane amount of work...top dedication to the cause

 

[Transistorized]

That is going to be the bomb once completed. I haven't a clue what something like this takes to build. I just know that it's insanely difficult.

Excellent job Eric.

Thanks guys it's coming along well, learned a few new things tonight putting the hole in for the pin

 

[Dbzerk]

Totally amazing! Imagine if the designers at conion could see this now.

This brings out the nerd in me, nice work!

 

[baddboybill]

Very cool and definitely a must for most conion owners!!!

Yes I've seen em too, Eric is a mad scientist no doubt, his work and dedication is top notch

AMAZING WORK!

All done! Who wants to print some doors?

It took some time to perfect the stuff using arcs, but in the end it all measures perfectly. Window glass and retention bracket to follow

 

[Superduper]

I’ll give it a try!

 

[Dbzerk]

Woah. Totally amazing
Eric deserves some kind of boomboxery award

Here in Brazil, two guys need them...
Let me know about prices.

Cheers.

Now that I've got the window done I am doubtful it will ever get made like the original, so perhaps a modified version with a thin slot on three sides for a chunk of plexiglass/perspex would be good enough. I could also merge the window piece with the door, but then you wouldn't be able to use an original window if you find one.

Also, if the door is too hard to print as is, I could pull the guides off. Do it as three pieces, and glue them together afterwards.

If trim isn't available, the window could be redesigned with that area filled in and perhaps embossed with some text.
