metal C128D Floppy Lock Plus

metal C128D Floppy Lock Plus

Replacement for broken floppy lock on a Commodore C128D (metal version) retro-computer.

Plus stands for the added material surrounding the "half-moon" plug, compaired to the original floppy lock.

The floppy-drive drive should be an 1571 model to fit.
The axis for the floppy mechanics is 15mm long (longer than on 1541-II models for C64)

Best printed in ABS to be strong enough.

Attention:
The inner of the "half-moon" has to be reworked to fit smooth, f.e. by rotary tool.
Don't try to push or force the plug on the floppy mechanics - they may get damaged!!!

Two versions of the lock exist:

1 part lock:
Has to be printed with support (more than one try may be needed to get good results)

2 parts lock:
Can be printed without any support and must be glued together.
Aceton is a perfect glue for ABS plastics.
