Retro Inspired
Build an Apple IIe inspired 3D printed enclosure for the Adafruit Fruit Jam. This project is designed to pair nicely with the Apple IIe Emulator on Fruit Jam.
This guide covers the 3D printable CAD files, case assembly and keyboard setup. There is no soldering required making this a great project for beginners!
Featuring a 43 key mechanical keyboard with RGB lighting, you can choose your favorite key switches and key caps.
The BM43 from KP Republic can be customized using QMK toolbox to create custom keymaps.
This guide walks you through flashing a custom firmware that features a second layer for numerical and special characters.
No Apple IIe is complete without the Apple Disk II – a custom 3D printed enclosure will house an SD to microSD card adapter.
You'll use a microSD card to load the Total Replay firmware which is preloaded with hundreds of Apple II games!
The Apple II emulator can also boot into a ProDOS menu where you can launch BASIC.
The 3D printed enclosure features an easy-to-open cover for accessing the Fruit Jam. Apple II computers are well known for this feature which embodies the open-source ethos.
The enclosure is designed to be modular, with plenty of room for additional hardware and components.
The back of the enclosure features USB-C for power, and HDMI for video output. There's also an additional USB-A port for additional peripherals such as a USB mouse, joystick or gamepad.
