That's pretty amazing. What kind of 3d printer was used for that? Looks great!
Looks like a resin (SLA) print. Maybe a Form 3L could do it?
Looks very nice indeed!
The downside is that the interior of your Apple ][ should not be a mess ;-).
Looks great.
How much did it cost to produce?
Apple II plus case
This looks Fantastic! Any suggestions on where to print and what kind of printer and materials look best?
would be great to have one of these ....

It might be cheaper to 3D print a mold and then use pourable resin to cast copies. It would also probably be a lot faster for something that large. For volume production you'd probably want to 3D print several molds and buy the resin in bulk.
Looks superb, love to see the cost come down as well, for IIplus, and IIc...
For 3d printing other colors and types of filament may be cheaper than the clear one. A lot of people wouldn't need it to be clear like that. Any color could be painted with beige paint to match the original cases for that matter, or black to get the Bell & Howell look or whatever.
There is no "clear filament." As I said upthread, that is a SLA print, not FDM.
Sorry if I used the wrong terminology. I don't have a lot of experience with 3D printing. I've used online suppliers to 3D print parts for me before, but I haven't got a 3D printer myself. I just know when I was ordering there was a huge difference in price depending on what type of process and materials were used. My point was there may be a cheaper option if people don't need it to be clear.
I think no matter how you look at it, nothing beats that clear top, even if is far more expensive compared to the same offerings made for other retro computers.
