Desiger 3D Prints Laptop Style Commodore C64

[Brian_Krassenstein]

German tech wizard Dirk Grappendorf designed and 3D printed his 21st-century version of the wildly popular, best selling Commodore C64 computer. Definitely a labor of love, the project extended for over a year as he tried to use original components while availing himself of some time-saving, modern tools. The completed, 3D printed take on the Commodore C64 lets you imagine what a laptop might have looked like had the folks behind the Commodore gotten that far 40 years ago. Check out more behind-the-scenes details on Grappendorf's project in the full article: http://3dprint.com/39764/3d-print-commodore-case/


Below is a photo of the finished computer with its 3D printed case:
