I invested way more time in designing this then I should have, but the original was brittle and breaking and I didn't want this slice of early Internet to disappear into a landfill.

Nice. Might come in handy for others considering how common that USR modem design was. I would have liked to see a power-on shot to see how well the PETG lights worked.

I'll post it to Printables.com soon. I'm not sure how common the brittle plastic issue was but, yeah, there seem to be a lot of variations using this exact same case design.

I haven't seen the LEDs yet since I've lost the power supply, but I've used the same PETG pipe technique a couple of times before and it works great.

I've posted it online now as well as included a pic of the LEDs lit up through the PETG pipes.
