Description
Miniature Commodore 1702 – A Tiny Tribute with a Big Heart
NOTE: This model requires a fair amount of post-processing to match the preview images. Some parts will need to be glued carefully and with precision (button and RCA connectors). Additionally, you'll need to print and hand-cut stickers for both the front and back sides. For one of the back stickers, 3 small holes (5mm) must be manually cut for the chroma/luma/audio section. Removing supports can also be a bit tricky. Please keep all this in mind before starting your print. Assembly instructions are below the info text. |
Originally I wanted to create a small desk sculpture in the spirit of my earlier Amiga piece (https://makerworld.com/de/models/1381766-amiga-guru-meditation-a-classic-reimagined-in-3d#profileId-1430326) but it turned into a full-on passion project. The result is a highly detailed mini version of the iconic Commodore 1701/1702 monitor, lovingly modeled and packed with retro charm.
At roughly 12 × 12 × 12 cm (4.7" × 4.7" × 4.7"), this little beast is small in size but big in character. I went all-in on the details:
– Every line and groove on the front and back
– Authentic RCA (Cinch) connectors, power button, rear vents
– A classic retro screen look
– And yes—stickers! (You’ll find the printable sticker sheet linked at the end.)
No paint, just pure printed texture and layered design. I wanted to recreate the essence of the original unit as faithfully as possible—something that feels like it came straight off a 1980s desk, albeit a small one. :D
This monitor has a special place in my heart: It was the monitor for my very first computer when I was six years old. That connection is what drove this from “quick project” to “tiny love letter”.
I Hope it brings a smile to fellow C64 fans. 💾🧡
