      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A46       MSGID: 1:387/26 07791b7d       REPLY: 894.classicc@1:218/700 253dd202       TZUTC: -0500       On 27 Jun 2021, Kurt Weiske said the following...        KW> Have you seen the 3d-printed PDP faceplate driven by a Raspberry Pi?        KW> Looks like you could get your PDP fix without having to run old iron.              I haven't seen a 3d-printed one. I'm inclined to think you may be referring       to Oscar Vermeulen's PiDP-11, but that one's not 3d-printed. The case is       injection molded and the front panel is silk-screened acrylic. The case is       shaped such that it won't really stand on its own, so a notched block of wood       is used as the base. The rocker switches might be 3d-printed; I'm not sure.       But if they are, it's a very clean print.              If that's not what you're referring to, please send a link! I love PDPs and       would love to be able to 3d-print a panel! I'm currently working on a       hobbyist's implementation of an FPGA-based PDP-8 using       (https://www.amazon.com/PDP-8-Class-Project-Resoling-Machine/dp/1790487978/)       as a guide. An 11 is a considerable step up in complexity, but if the 8 is       successful, I might give it a try.              Jeff.              "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and       wrong." -- H.
