FloppyEmuDiskIIEnclosure
Project to create a 3D-printed custom enclosure for the "Big Mess of Wires" FloppyEmu (a SD card based disk drive emulator for the Apple II computer). The custom enclosure is shaped like Apple's historic "Disk II" drive, the first ever disk drive introduced by Apple in 1978.
Description
This project contains SCAD design files & STL files, stickers, KiCad PCB design, to create a 3D printed enclosure for a FloppyEmu. The enclosure is like the historic "Disk II" drive, which Apple introduced in 1978 for the Apple II.
Credits
The idea for this 3D-printing project was triggered by similar ideas to create Disk II-shaped custom enclosures for the FloppyEmu in the AppleFritter forum - a forum for vintage Apple computer fans. See this discussion thread for more.

Any images and photos which may show the Disk II-FloppyEmu enclosure with an Apple logo were only given as an example of how you could decorate your Disk II-FloppyEmu drive enclosure for your personal use. The 3D-printed Disk II FloppyEmu enclosure is not endorsed by Apple. This project does not grant you any rights or licenses to distribute any Disk II enclosures with an Apple logo.
Design
The 3D design is done with OpenSCAD. All files are available in the scad folder. SCAD provides You can also find a number of ready-to-use STL files in the stl folder.
Button Panel
You will also need a button panel, so you can control FloppyEmu from the front panel. You can create the panel using a perfboard - or use the PCB design files to order a printed circuit board. You'll find schematics and also a KiCad PCB design project in the pcb folder.
