70s - Case for 3 Pocket Operators

The case is available in three different versions. While the first version is clearly referring back to the 70s with its shiny orange main color, the grey/white and black versions are more decent in the choice of colours.

The case will be available in three versions:

Version 1 - 70s Orange, printed with PLA

Deep black bottom plate, with orange main case and black top plate.

Version 2 - 70s Grey, printed with PLA

Deep black bottom plate, with grey main case and light grey/white top plate

Version 3 - Monolith, Printed with PETG

Galaxy black bottom plate with a galaxy black main case with integrated top plate.

The "sequencer buttons" are made out of soft flexible filament while the side buttons are made printed with PLA. Buttons are available in black or white plus in red for the play button.

The bottom plate of the case for 3 operators contains openings for easy battery access which enables the changing of batteries without opening the case.

While designing the case I kept the principle of Dieter Rams in my mind and studied several of his product designs. While I couldn't of course change the pocket operator itself, I tried to adapt the principles at least for the case. While choosing the colours, I remembered that we had an orange Braun hair dryer at home. Well, I thought why not? Orange is considered as one of the main colours of the 70s and works perfectly with black. I think the result is quite nice. However, for those who are not so much into shiny colours, I decided to offer two more decent coloured versions.

While 70s Orange and 70s Grey versions consist beside the bottom plate of a middle and top part, glued together, the Monolith version's upper section is 3D printed in one pice.
