@pierrenick What is missing is a modular concept, like a laptop from @frameworkcomputer user-exchangeable components for repairability and upgradeability, open designs to allow third parties to contribute components. Also free-software-based firmware/OS, using the code base of #OpenPrinting, #PAPPL, #CUPS, ...
I am open for a collaboration of OpenPrinting and Framework ... or whoever wants to jump in on the hardware side ...

Added a #Macintosh to #TomodachiLife! This was really fun to paint. Too bad I can’t share it.

Consulting the manual in order to turn the #ImageWriter II on.
-
Picked up this ImageWriter II locally for $50! Original owner, barely any scuffs, said it printed at most 100 pages in its life. Came with the manual! :apple_old_logo:
(Not yellowed either, said his mom had sewed a custom cover for it, which sadly he didn’t have anymore!)
It’s good to have one again!

My ultimate goal was to print this gorgeous "glitch" planter by vexanix on Printables. The effect is dazzling.

Tonight's mission: find the optimal parameters for YOUSU's Tri-color silk PLA.
What mattered:
* Temp: 210ºC
* Extrusion multipler: 1.1(on my Prusa MINI—I did my bi-yearly AirTag keychain re-print. It's hard to capture on a still image, it's so pretty)

I have plenty of Mac keyboards, but I always love getting #VintageApple themed keycap sets.
They're all fairly similar, but PBTfans '1984' has some unique #MacPaint inspired 'novelties' mods, which are so cool.

Community, DIY, open hardware and software has been part of the commodity #3Dprinting world for over 20 years (#RepRap et al.). Open projects, with parts you can source yourself or via kits (e.g. #Voron).
What if—what IF!
We did the same for plain old #2Dprinting..? I’d build a 2D laser printer from a kit.(To be fair, I found a few resources and it seems like a daunting talk: lots of moving parts, optics, etc. 3D printers almost feel simpler, they’re just robots that push out hot plastic.)

And if there’s not enough stress in your life for some reason, treat yourself to 60 minutes of the boss music! #VGM #NintendoMusic #SMB2

Nintendo Music added Super Mario Bros 2 music! So you too can listen to a 60 minutes extended version of the over world music. #VGM #NintendoMusic #SMB2

Long shot but—
Any leads on data archives of the content being shown on the Montréal Métro Télécité displays from 1991 to 2015?It was such a unique medium [see links below] but now it's gone.
Would be so nice to dig up those files and run them on an emulator, a modern recreation or even better: on real hardware.Those tri-colour (orange, red and green) LED matrix displays were pretty advanced for their time, featuring fluid animations. Even the ads were so unique as they had to be custom. But it was more than ads! There was news, weather, tidbits, fun facts, trivia and even poetry to pass the time. For close to 25 years, it was such an integral part of riding the Métro.
Installed in 1991 and acquired by Alstom in 1999, the system was then sold to other transit systems around the world. It was apparently one of the first of its kind.
The custom content was phased out as the newer (MPM-10) trains were put in service. Télécité displays are still in use on the old MR-73 trains, where they're kept at their minimum: showing the date and time, announcing stations and their connections as well as any service announcements.
In the 1990s, it introduced itself with this cool animation:
"Vous regardez: [logo swoosh swoosh swoosh] Télécité, les afficheurs électroniques du Métro"In the 2000s, it became:
"Alstom Télécité, média électronique du Métro"I only found a few newspaper articles mentioning it despite it being so ubiquitous for over two decades. There's only a handful of videos of it on the internet (mostly > 2009, when people started having video cameras in their pocket).
