🟣 It this video, I will be bringing back to life a Commodore Amiga 500 that was heading to the trash, through replacing it’s broken floppy drive with a brand new Gotek (floppy drive emulator) drive, not from a kit bought online but from scratch using a bog standard drive bought from AliExpress.
🟣 I will be going through the whole process of finding the right Gotek USB drive, flashing it’s firmware to the Amiga compatible FlashFloppy, showing how to wire and connect an OLED Screen and Rotary Encoder to the Gotek board. Plus, even designing and 3D printing a custom enclosure to house the screen, and specifically the type of encoder I bought that will sit on top of the Amiga.
🟣 Even get to show the famous boing ball Workbench demo and play the game “The Great Giana Sisters“.

🟡 The 3D-printer I used to 3D-Print the parts was the, “Original Prusa MK4 3D-Printer“ and I achieved the professional looking textured finish on the part, using Prusa’s textured build plate. You can find more details on both, through the website, link below. ⬇️
🟡 Filament wise, I was using “eSun “Bone White“ PLA “, which I found to be the perfect match, colour-wise to my Amiga. Links below ⬇️
