For the speaker, someone had mentioned these which seem to be a direct match for the speakers used in the Mac II. I believe the IIfx is the same. I bought a set and it worked in my II. https://ebay.us/m/NBV94r For the memory, there was someone who made new ones on 68KMLA but I think he finally...

Did not have any layer shift issues. Came out fairly smooth with the only major sanding required being on the end that was attached to the plate due to the brim. :) Went vertical with the print in order to have the layers going up/down on the clips for added strength.

Wrapping things up on a 3D printable model of the PowerBook Duo center clutch cover. Once I complete finishing the exterior, painting it, and test fitting it one last time, I will share the model on my Printables account (link in my signature).

I believe this is the part on Mouser. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Alps-Alpine/SKHCBFA010?qs=4aVxpR%2FL9VKjnfNtzVhXNg%3D%3D

I don’t have a Portable. Too scared of tunnel vision to ever look into acquiring one. But if I were in that position, I would machine out of metal (or possibly 3D print with abs) four hour glass / black widow shaped pieces, cut similar sized shapes into that hinge (between the ribs) using a...

The 12x12 switch included in this assortment on Amazon worked for me: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BFWK5N8V It’s basically the exact size and fits on the plastic stock switch support and the legs fit the logic board holes. They are a bit clicky compared to the stock switch but I was fine with...

I thought the rounded corner disappears when you have multiple displays and that edge/corner is where another display extends the desktop?

There is a control panel named Gamma which might help. It’s not Apple’s, it’s aftermarket. I think it’s on Macintosh Garden. It does look like this is the sync signal on green. I have also seen a version of this where sync signals over RGB cause certain displays to lose contrast (Appear washed...

The Apple 8*24 card will also drive it. I believe the on board video on a IIci worked for me as well.

Yes, it is a 2.25” standard regulation size billiard ball. I have been using one in mine for a while. But I did find that the one I got was so polished it was slipping on the rollers. I washed it with soap thinking it might be some oil but that didn’t help. I ended up using a blank piece of...

Ok wow, that is really cool!!

I tried this for a 16" Macintosh Color Display and I got scratches / rub marks on the acrylic from the screen during forming. I ended up building a jig to bend the 5mm thick acrylic I was using. This was to put a 15" LCD panel inside the 16" Macintosh Color Display housing. This reminds me...

There is someone on Etsy selling acrylic lenses for these compact Macs to put in front of an LCD. It works with @zigzagjoe ‘s kit and works with others - this seller also had an LCD kit at one point (although not nearly as complete or turn key like @zigzagjoe ’s kit) that works with standard vga...

Yup, Eric Woo is legit.
