Enclosures

The Foenix may be purchased as a bare board or packaged in a 3D printed enclosure; see: https://c256foenix.com/

Screws

The standard case uses the following screws:

  • M2 Inserts, M3 inserts (2 Kind, 1 style for Bumpon, 1 style for PCB installation, M3 screws for Bumpon and PCB installation
  • M2 screws for Polycarbonate Windows
  • 1 screw for the RCA Connector in the back
  • M2.5x8mm for Floppy Installation

Printing your own Enclosure

You may also print your own; the official STL files are here:

In order to complete the enclosure, you will need inserts for plastic, M3/M2. You will need screws, and some Lexan cut out to complete the windows


Internal Setup
