If you think it might be expensive to order a case from Europe to the USA, there's a couple of QIMSI Gold case models on Thingiverse for 3D printing, if you can find someone near to you to 3D print it:

Thank you.

I found one of my friends here may be able to print a STL so I sent him this one to see.

I guess I need to find the right small screws and nuts to work with it. I guess Amazon is my friend with that. haha

Thanks for your links. I checked them out but neither make mention if they work with the RTC or not. Wonder if they do?

The one I link to above supposedly does so that is good.

I decided to order my QIMSI with RTC.

The one I use (which came from a user in Sweden) came with a cut-out in the base which accommodates the battery etc under the board in the RTC version of QIMSI Gold. Although it means it doesn't cover the entire circuit board, it is underneath the unit when it's plugged into a QL, so doesn't gather dust.
And I suppose if it bothered me, I could put a piece of black insulating tape across it.

Hi,

I have some SLA printed cases, from an STL downloaded, but the bezel for the I/O connectors needs a little modification to fit into the case.

The case looks better than the one shown, I will post some photos.

I need to alter the designation of the Mouse and Keyboard from USB.

I do not have a QIMSI Gold yet.


Regards,

Derek
