I have a pretty good 3d printer, I.can at least try. I imagine the
standard front panel cover clips should be easy enough, but the pdp8a needs
something stronger with screws and bolts, right? I need to check the
enclosure hardware documents
Once you've printed one, it might be possible to cast additional ones
more quickly and the result might be stronger. That metal bezel with the
two PCB inside is rather heavy for a plastic mount.

I tried to do one here:

but I haven't actually printed or used it yet. (I have the original
parts, and no free access to a 3D printer at the moment.)

Is there a 3D print gcode for the hardware that connects a PDP8a front

Is there anyone who has a spare clips/clamps hardware to attach a PDP 8a
console to the chassis?
I picked up the donated PDP 8a mentioned earlier on this list, I got it
up
and running. I need to track down the hardware to attach the front
panel
to the chassis. I do have spares of the hardware that attaches the
ON/OFF
panel to the chassis.
AS with all "free" donations it's the final mile that costs the big $$
Thanks
