Commodore 1084s Flap Help Please

Traindriver69 · 27 September 2020, 18:54

Hi all
I recently purchased a commodore 1084s monitor but as is usual with these the flap is missing it is the long flap type D2 monitor it would be nice if someone on here had one I could buy off them but failing that at the moment I am 3d printing one which will do for the time being but could someone out there who has one please take a photo of the end clips of the flap that connect to the monitor so I can alter mine to fit.
many thanks

Good luck. I've never been able to find intact second hand ones.

I 3D printed mine at work. The design was off Thingverse. It's ok. Especially if you have a printer large enough to do it in one piece. With some acetone you can "smooth" out the 3D so you can't see the layers and it is "acceptable"

even when commodore was still around it was nearly impossible to get the replacement flaps if 1 broke, at least Commodore Canada never was able to get them.

I have printed the flap has anyone got a pic of how the clip connects to the monitor before I cut it.

But someone made a real 1:1 copy of the original using a mold, unfortunately he was sold out before I found out and hasn't said how they were made or if he would make any more
