Here is my blog where I describe in detail my build of an EDUC-8 in 2007. I also give lots of information on EDUC-8 and plenty of links to software and other resources to build your own EDUC-8.

In fact, the EDUC-8 shown at the top of this forum is the one I built!

Here's the problem I had slicing this model for FDM printing. Resin may be the best option.

Switch Lever Prototype Files

You cannot view this attachment.

These files may be difficult to print with an FDM printer - a nozzle 0.3 mm or smaller is recommended, as the curved body of the design is extremely thin. It is probably better to consider printing these in resin instead.

Note: the switches available on AliExpress already have the lever and it is only necessary to print your own if you want period-correct colouring.

Resources / Rear Card Handles

These Rear Card Handles attach to the 6 rear circuit boards (2 handles per board). Thus, 12 are required for a full set.
