good to know they're not quiet. I've searched for other clear fans, but they are hard to find. and while all my other Macs (and the Kensington on the //e) get Noctua's, I found a nice white fan that should look good in the clear case. if it sounds horrible I can always swap it for a Noctua.

like when i contacted MacEffects and enquired about the clear fan: "These were created from the molds used by a PC manufacturer who discontinued it and we are trying to determine if they still have the mold to produce more. As of now there's not solid date."

every* other online 3D printing service i looked at for US manufacturing, stated they print in the US, but drop ship from china in the fine print. i wonder if one of these "makerspaces" (stand-alone businesses that are set up to do anything from CNC machining, 3D printing, sheet metal fab to...

they can't be like a normal business: take your money and put you in the queue?

so I should clarify my ealier statement. they sent another email. I misunderstood that they would print it thicker when what they really meant was for me to edit the file myself to make the parts thicker and re-submit the file. I have no way of doing that. but they do give you the option to...

you could have a Pico Mac Nano running INSIDE your clear SE/30. :unsure::ROFLMAO:

it's funny you mention the yoke cap, that's the one part i forgot to order. PCBway did send other emails, mostly about parts being too thin in certain areas and they wanted to print them thicker or add support. so they do put each part under "engineer review" (for whatever that's worth in China).

which is why i think it's great that zzjoe includes the bracket and bezel with his LCD kits, instead of "here's the file! print it yourself!" honestly, beyond these mac parts ( i ordered a couple that are not clear SE/30 parts) i don't know what else i would need to print. while i have seen...

so, on the brightness knob file that i got from Printables, PCBway sent me an email stating that in the file the outer knob and inner spline were 2 separate parts and they merged them and want permission to print as one piece. yes please.

yes i meant air gap/appearance -wise, not strength.

is it safe to assume that 100% infill makes it a solid part?

all my clear parts from PCBWAY say 4-6 days, so no time savings there. the non-clear parts (ABS, PLA) all say 2-3 days.

i'll also note that i'm NOT replacing the not-so-clear PETG (Pg 1 pic) LCD frame and bezel with transparent resin. i'm keeping them as they'll hide the metal frame of the LCD panel.

i can just take what i get from PCBWAY and if it doesn't, or can't be made to work, i'll report it here and then just get one from you.

you may find that to be a shocking experience... ⚡💀
