I'm very pleased that Ben is back full time and hope he can make enough income to continue in the long-term. His products are great, but I just wish there was a better alternative to the 3D printed cases. They always seem rather flimsy.

Indeed great to see Ben back and I hope he succeeds in his ambition.

I bought some hardware from him in the past and the quality was always great. Can’t comment on the 3D printed cases though.

Yeah, Ben mentioned on the stream about looking into resin 3D printing to get a better finish (but it sounds like that's only economical for small production runs). I'm not sure if that would make them any more rigid?

But I don't really mind the printed cases, from one particular angle the ZX-HD does flex quite a lot, but I've not run into any issues. Spectranet is rock-solid though.

It's a simple setting to make plastic print more rigid - of course, this increases print time but I tend to leave the printer running overnight :?
