Sold Out.

I was expected this to be a 3D print design people could grab for free.

Looking at the build PDF, you'd need a pretty large printer to do a single piece like that. Would need to split it into a few panels and have some sort of joinery or fasteners to make it fit on most consumer printers.

This (breaking it up and adding the "jointery") is handled right in the slicer now, easy peesie.

What do you mean by this? I’ve only used bambu’s slicer and never seen anything to indicate it can automatically add “jointery”?

You're going to love it!

Huzzah! Thanks for that!

At the bottom of the page, it looks like this is a giveaway for August, and that there were OP-1 giveaways in June and July. The OP-1 is their flagship synthesizer.

Makes me wonder if this is starting a press cycle for something they'll release for sale in the nearish future.

Not giveaways, but it was instead a "name your own price" discount that allowed you to pay as little as $1399 and as much as $9999 (your choice) for an OP-1. What's bizarre is throughout the month of July, the OP-1 Field was completely SOLD OUT. And it felt pretty galling to their customers they would have this "name your price" promotion continue into July with the same device as the previous month - most people expected them to switch up which item would get the discount. No one was able to purchase an OP-1 from July 1 - July 31 at any price on their site.

It's not for printing, it's for cutting out of a thick sheet of plastic, as much as I understand.

i mean... this should be a thing.

hmmm now you have me thinking.

It is a thing. ;) Here's a meta-search on different 3D model sharing platforms for "ATX case": https://thangs.com/search/atx%20case?scope=all

yeah after that i did some reading and realized it was a bad idea :-D
