 # Agon Retro Case

+Case for the [Agon](https://www.thebyteattic.com/p/agon.html) modern 8-bit computer by [Bernardo Kastrup](https://www.bernardokastrup.com) et al.
+
+I wanted to create a case in the style of the home computers of the 1980s.
+
+The parts can be printed on a normal-sized printer. Some assembly is required.
+
+
+
+## Bill of materials
+
+* 1x Cherry G84-4100 mini keyboard. The keyboard is relatively expensive, but it's also available used or as B-stock. Mine cost 19 euros on eBay.
+* 1x QIANRENON USB A U-shaped adapter. You can also omit the adapter, but then the keyboard cable will be visible outside the case.
+* 14x M3x10 screws.
+* 15x M3x12 screws.
+* 29x M3 screw nuts.
+
+## Assembly instructions
+
+* Keyboard
+  * Disassemble the keyboard. Only the keyboard PCB, the daughterboard beneath it, and the cable are needed. You can shorten the cable. I was lazy and kept it in the case coiled up.
+  * Fit the isolator on the daughterboard so that it sits between it and the keyboard PCB.
+
+* Undercarriage
+  * Fit the nuts (1x M3 each) into the slots in the rear lower corners. The remaining nuts are inserted in the same manner.
+  * Insert screws for the Agon board (4x M3x10).
+  * Connect parts (6x M3x12 with nuts).
+  * Secure the board (4x M3 nuts).
+  * Place the keyboard on the supports so that it rests against the horizontal stops.
+  * Guide the keyboard cable beneath the Agon board towards the back.
+
+* Side walls
+  * Fit nuts (6x M3 nuts each). Should be a tight fit. I used small pliers with gentle pressure.
+  * Attach to the undercarriage (2x M3x10 each).
+
+* Back wall
+  * Connect parts (1x M3x12 with nut).
+  * Attach to the undercarriage (2x M3x10).
+  * Connect keyboard cable, USB adapter, and board.
+
+* Top cover
+  * Press the logo into the left cover part.
+  * Connect parts (2x M3x12 with nuts).
+  * Secure to side walls (2x M3x10) and back wall (2x M3x12).
+
+* Keyboard frame
+  * Connect parts (2x M3x12 with nuts).
+  * Secure to side walls (2x M3x12 side, 2x M3x10 top).
+  * Insert LED cover.
+
+* Blinds
+  * Insert both panels into the gap between the keyboard frame and the cover. Depending on your 3D printer's tolerance, the fit between the panel and side wall can be tight. I slightly oversized the panels, so some sanding may be necessary.
+
+## Shortcomings
+
+* Made for the AgonLight2 by Olimex only. I will add base plates for the other variants if there's demand for it.
+* The front ports of the board are unusable because of the way it is mounted.
+* The attachment of the panels is unsatisfactory. Depending on the print tolerance, they raise in the middle. Hot glue helps, but still, a better mounting is needed.
+* No case feet.
+
+## Printing
+
+* PLA 20% grid infill.
+* Most parts can be printed without support, but with support, the scew holes look better.
+* The blinds should be printed standing upright on the outer side with support.
+* I printed the LED cover in transparent PETG.
+* Approximate filament amount: 380g
