  1. Now that shipping 3D printed things within the EU is absolutely unprofitable (and unaffordable) in the long term, I'm thinking about selling the 3D models for self-printing. This is also a risk for me, as I practically give up the source of all my work.

    Therefore to all those who are interested in such a device:

    Would you buy these 3D models?

    Please share and boost this survey. I need a lot of opinions. :boostOK:

  2. Computer History Museum event: “Steve Jobs in exile —
    NeXT and the Making of a Comeback"

    “… a special CHM Live book talk with Geoffrey Cain, author of Steve Jobs in Exile: The Untold Story of NeXT and the Remaking of an American Visionary, and key figures from NeXT’s history, including Dan’l Lewin, Avie Tevanian, and Bud Tribble.”

    Maybe of interest to some.

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

  4. Well, I think I'm done with the circuit and PCB design for my #NeXT #SoundBox mini. But before I order the whole thing from #JLCPCB, I'll sleep on it and check everything again tomorrow. Better safe than sorry. 😃

  5. 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. 🙏🏻

  6. 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.

  7. Currently printing: The stand for my #NeXT #MegaPixel Display mini. This is the 823465239562956th test print. I hope that the "inline" support (between the ribs) can be easily removed.

  8. @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! 😟

  9. From the perspective of presenting #3DModels, this is a real step forward. #Shapr3D has added a new feature to its software. I know many people are rolling their eyes right now because it's AI. But I don't care. After all, the results speak for themselves.

    Three images:
    1. Model in construction view
    2. Model in a simple rendered view
    3. Model with the new render view enhanced by a prompt

  10. I don’t really buy stuff „just for fun“ that often, but when I came across the „Inside NeXT“ book by Luciano Dadda I was instantly hooked. This is a marvelous piece on the glorious products that came out of NeXT. Thanks Luciano for printing another batch 🙃 #nextbook #nextcomputer

  11. The Design for my #NeXT #ODD is mostly done and test prints are in the making. It is a smol NeXT style case for a slimline optical disc drive (cd-rw, dvd-rw).

    BUT: I modified the original drive and made it narrower and, as you can see in the design, it only reads 3 inch discs.

    Size of the case: W12.5cm, D21cm, H3.3cm

  12. I just watched a video about #NeXTComputer and #ObjectiveC, which was completely new to me at that moment. Then I wanted to like a comment below it, only to realize at that moment that it was my own comment that I had posted 7 months earlier. 🤦🏻

  13. Slowly it takes shape: The NeXT drive that never exists. My special ODD (Optical Disc Drive) for 3 inch discs only. It reads and writes both CDs and DVDs. Just renderings for now. The real case is coming soon.

  14. Imagine that: In just three years(!) Steve Jobs and his team developed and produced a completely new Computer with breakthrough technology and an entire Operating System, which was developed specifically for this hardware.

    Three years, from the ground up!

  15. Maybe it now brings a bit more clarification. Even if it now looks way more as a toilette part. 🤪

    I disassembled a slim DVD writer, cut all unused parts to make it narrower. All this is for an external NeXT ODD which reads (and writes) only 3 inch disks (scaled replica, though). 😃

  16. Something new is in the making. Testing possibilities for another #NeXT replica device. 😃

  17. I think the same thing that just happened with #Commodore should also happen with #NeXT. A representative of "the community" should acquire all rights to NeXT and revive the company. 😃

  18. I'm currently rebuilding my website. It's amazing what you can do with #Publii. It's still my favourite static website generator.

    I started with one of my projects, the #NeXT #SoundBox mini. I tweaked the #CSS and custom #JavaScript. I think I can use that as a basis for the rest of the website. 😃

  19. 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. 🤪
