Progress report on my first laser cut loose WP43C template.

This is my first test with my new Cricut Maker machine:

Not sure it is intended, but N and Y characters are white instead of grey.

edit 1: rephrase, and added Y.
edit 2: Massimo was faster for the Y.

That's it : 42 family is among the best calculator ever made. Opinions differ. 41 was a beast in 1979, BUT Nostalgia is not a guide, it's just nostalgia.

just curious: how does the backside of the DM 41X look like (photo?) ? Which year (2017 ?) is shown and is there maybe a diagramme (like with the Voyagers?) ?

The back metal case is not flat. There is a slight curvature to it so that the rubber feet do not fully contact the desktop. They only make contact at the inner-most edge of the rubber foot. Pressing a key in the outer columns causes the calculator to want to rotate about this point. This may actua...
