This case has a few refinements beyond that one, but it’s recognizably a descendant. The main changes:
- The HT cable port on the side has a nice polygonal roof to reduce overhang
- The serial connector sits in a recess to allow a thicker top plate
- Smaller opening for the LEDs; I’ll get a window in this one, fer shure, yeah
- 4-40 screws hold the base plate on; setscrews may work and look better
Looks like I’ll be using blue filament for this version, having just discovered the last of the weird colors in the bottom of the 5 gallon bucket serving as a storage bin.
