OMG... More than a year and I still have not finished that product... 🙈

First try of a "Tim Berners-Lee" sticker on my #NeXTcube mini turned out not that bad. 😃

Since some people have already expressed an interest in buying a #NeXTcube mini, I have to collect all these interested potential buyers so as not to lose track of them. Therefore, I have set up a form on my website where all those interested can sign up.

Please spread the word. Thank you. 🙏🏻

Well, my last test prints with the material combination of #PETG and #BVOH (for the support interfaces) turned out very well, after proper drying of both filaments and printing with a single nozzle #BambuLab #X1C. It took quite a bit of fine-tuning in the settings, but now it seems to be working. I am now printing one of the two complicated models in its entirety, the monitor stand for the #NeXT #MegaPixel display.

@tuparev And today I wanted to publish my first set consisting of NeXTcube, NeXT MegaPixel Display, and NeXT SoundBox, all in 1:2 scale. Unfortunately, I'm still stuck in test printing for parts of the display. These ribs are a real challenge! 😟

I'm considering trying out a #RadxaX4 for my #NeXTcube mini for a native #OPENSTEP 4.2 installation. Since it's #x86 #Intel hardware (N100), that should be possible, right? 🤔

Today I got my batch of #PCB's from #JLCPCB for the front panel LEDs of my #NeXTcube mini.

Turns out: I mistakenly swapped the top and bottom layer. 🤪

I had another part of my #NeXTcube mini printed with #resin by #JLCPCB as a test.

The difference in quality is unbelievable! I should stop doing that. Otherwise I won't even want to print with filament anymore. 🙈

#FDM printing on the right, resin printing on the left.

I think I found a clean solution to assemble the two LEDs at the front grill of my #NeXTcube mini. It's a tiny custom #PCB holding the LEDs with two JST sockets, which will be wired up directly to the #RaspberryPi #GPIO ports.

Well, it doesn't look that good. Fortunately I had aborted very early. Now a bit cleaning for the next try.

Just playing a bit to mimic an MO-Disc using an SD-Card scaled 1:2 for my #NeXTcube mini.
