This is a 3d-printable plastic carrier and matching empty PCB template to fit in the carrier, and both together fit in the option-rom socket in Tandy models 100, 102, 200, & 600. (and any other machine that has that same socket, such as Epson PX-4 & PX-8)

To build a REX or Teeprom
- visit those pages and order the pcb from OSHPark
- order the carrier from Shapeways.
To start a new design based on the same PCB and carrier
- clone the github repo
- copy the PCB directory to a new directory named after the new project
- open the files in the new directory with kicad
To modify the carrier
You might as well just import the stl file into whatever cad application you like. Currently, the freecad file for the carrier is not very useful as a "source" file. It's just a mesh pretty much the same as the stl file for printing. Re-drawing the model from scratch in either freecad or openscad is planned. Then that will be a more useful source file for the model to make future changes from.
