Well, now I have a better idea of just how detailed an item my 3D printer can print.

Old (30+ years) Mac floppy drives have a tiny eject mechanism gear that becomes brittle. You can find a design for this gear that allows printing them.

My resulting gear was way too low-resolution for a gear this size, sigh.

Time to buy one.

Some Macintosh SE logicboard closeups just for fun.

La boîte est vide mais la carte mère était encore au fond. Beaucoup de corrosion, de ports abîmés et de composants manquants, il a dû dormir dehors longtemps, et on va essayer de lui faire honneur.

Sorcellerie !

35 years ago today, this beautiful machine came into my life.
This photo was taken in 2011, two years before I sadly gave it away (due to a rushed interstate move).

The case for PiSCSI is already printing. Only 8 more hours and it will be over 😆 First time printing with PET-G so I'm sure to mess something up 😉

Ordered filaments and rest of the electronics from botland have arrived. I'm firing up the printer tomorrow and will be finishing the PiSCSI for Mac SE.

All the components needed to build the PiSCSI have arrived. Now, just a bit of soldering, and I'll be able to connect it to my Macintosh SE. And once the filaments arrive, I'll print the case, and it will look awesome!

The weather was so nice today that I decided to do some #retrobright on my old #MacintoshSE. For a first try, it turned out pretty well😎 One part still needs some fixing, but overall, I’m happy with it. Now I just need to put it all back together. #retro #vintageMac

Jak myślicie? Pójdzie mi na tym Cyberpunk? 😉

Going to meet old school friends this weekend. One of them used to do all kinds of stuff with #hypercard on #MacintoshSE
We were always arguing about PC vs Mac back in the day.
Funny thing, he jumped to the PC world when OS X came out, he did NOT like it.

My @BlueSCSI v2 arrived today in the mail.
I managed to get it to boot from an image on the SD card, but so far I had no luck in copying software from the PC to that image...

Ok #RetroComputing #ClassicMac friends!

I have a #MacintoshSE that has three of its case cracker bolts out… but one that doesn’t want to budge. Won’t come out of its hole (but happily turns).

Thoughts?
