Tandy 1000 TL/2 5.25" Drive Bay Cover Solutions
Print Profile(2)


Description
I have included two print profiles for two model variants:
- A full replacement for the original Tandy 1000 TL/2 5.25" drive bay cover. This is an accurate reproduction of the original + internal adjustments to make it printable and tabs for aligning to the inside of the main face plate.
- A bracket for use with the detached factory original drive bay cover for aligning it to the inside of the main face plate.
For both variations, first use a razor blade trim off all the small plastic nubs which held the original face plate in place. Then assemble the part(s) with some dabs of glue on the inner side of the main face plate. I would suggest using hot glue so the cover can be removed in the future. Avoid applying excessive amounts of hot glue for long periods as the heat will eventually soften the original plastic, resulting in visible damage/distortions.
I have also included files in the STL/CAD files section for a third model which is an accurate reproduction of the factory original cover. I have not included a print profile for this as it is not printable without excessive, hard to remove support. It is included in case it is useful to someone.
This model is also available on Printables.
