Sinclair ZX80 Miniature

Bill of Materials
Description
A little computing nostalgia. The Sinclair ZX80 home microcomputer.
Is it optimised for printing with 0.2mm nozzle. It uses five colours plus support, so needs multiple AMS units to print in its full glory.
Tip: when needing very fine lines - finer than the filament extrusion - I find that they can be rendered by placing a background colour a few layers below and then leaving a gap where the fine lines are required. The surrounding coloured material is printed on top to allow the background colour to be seen. This can be seen on the orange ZX80 logo, where the thin outline is only printed below the surface.
The keyboard legends are also printed in the same way - with lines of easily printed orange and blue behind easily printed key with holes in them. This avoids having to try to print lots of dots of colour.
(It is possible to print a black outline with a 0.2mm nozzle, but it overpowers the orange of the ZX80 logo.)
Enjoy!
