Just bought an empty A500 case and in a separate buy an A500 keyboard. Still got a Raspberry laying around.
Now for the rest...
* Use the tip of the soldering iron to insert 4 heat sets into the top of the Pi mount, 4 more heat sets into the top of the TS board mount, 4 more into the panel mount screw receptacles on the right back mount, and 4 more into the left back mount.
So basically let the heat melt the plastic so the sets can settle in. The URL doesn't to the sets isn't available anymore btw.
Edit: yes, getting some from AliExpress

Anyone know the best temperature to get the heat sinks into the plastic molds?
Edit: 200 degrees C. That was the lowest temp setting on my soldering iron. It worked. Pro-tip: Don't force it... let the heat do it's job.

This is great!
Has anyone made a modification to work in an A1200 case?

Anyone on setting the drivelight and HD activity yet? I set it to Numlock and it still does not work. Too bad.

Just installed my Tynemouth software mod into my Amiga 500 but disappointed I couldn’t get the Numlock to flash. Hoping someone can find a solution to this as it’s a fantastic project!

add
Code: Select all
echo mmc0 > /sys/class/leds/input0\:\:numlock/trigger
to a startup script in the OS. You have to look it up but I think you put it into rc.local It worked for me
Not sure if you have to set numlock in the emulator. Just try it out. Good luck.

Just building one of these now, almost all the parts have arrived and the 3d prints done. I noticed that my brackets are coming out 1-2mm smaller, not sure if it`s my 3d printer or the stl`s... Brilliant guide btw.

What an awesome mod project. I purchased an Amiga 500 case. Is there a USB keyboard that will install into the case? Or a kit to build a USB keyboard to your own specifications? Note: also using a Raspberry PI 4.
Thanks in advance.

Bit of a late reply, but I've recently published a model for a non-destructive case mod for the A1200 - hope it's of use...

The printables link also contains the bill of materials for everything I used in my project.
