In this video, I present my design for a 3D printable case for Lee Hart's new "H8 Mini", which is a functional clone of the famous Heathkit "H8" digital personal computer from 1977. It uses only through-hole parts and parts that were available 'back in the day'.

BTW, my separate video on making the red filter material (mentioned in this video) can be found here:
