A3000 floppy disk eject button
« on: August 02, 2017, 04:00:02 AM »
In my spare time and a caliper I have made a floppy disk eject button for Amiga 3000. This eject button is a perfect replacement for your A3000.
I give this free to the Amiga community.

See pictures below.

I have included a STL file for you to print in the 3D Printer.

Let me know if you have printed one.
A500 KS 2.1, 1MB Chip, 68000
A600 KS 3.1, 2MB Chip, ACA630 32MB RAM
A1000 KS 1.3, 8MB RAM
A1200 KS 3.1, Blizzard IV 50MHz 64MB RAM
A2000 KS 2.1, 68030 25MHz, 6MB RAM
A3000 KS 3.1, 68030 25MHz, 16MB RAM
A4000 KS 3.0, 68040 25MHz, 16MB RAM
CDTV KS 3.1, 4MB RAM

Nice!  Green?  Now to start printing entire A3000 cases in green.  Would sure solve the yellowing problem!  :lol:
Hey..that's the only color I have, so EVERYTHING I print is in Green :lol:

I think that is great! Awesome job! I've seen many posts on here from people looking for parts and pieces to make their Amiga complete. Hopefully, 3D printing will help more people with those parts. Congrats!
I think the 3D printer revolution IS solving many spare parts shortage problem.
In my case, I have designed and printed replacement eject button for my A1000, I have a non original floppy drive in it, so the original button would not fit.
Printed a case for Vectrex multicart, design and print small enclosure for PS2Mouse-Amiga adapter.
And now the A3000 eject button, I remember I sold my other A3000 w/o the button, because I did not have a replacement.

This is the printer I have: Anet A8 from Gearbest for about $170.

You have to assemble it yourself and it will take you 2 evenings to do it. Very good printer.
If you are novice and can't be bothered assembly then this one gets high marks: Monoprice Select for $220

It's a smaller build plate then the Anet A8.

Looks good. I'm glad you like it and it fits.
For best results when printing small parts is to use BRIM 5-8mm wide.
