    Early Demos (Finder, SoundLab, Sbardemo, WindowManager, IconEditor)

    The LISA 2 is in many ways like a bigger screen Mac, yet slower (at 5MHz), so it's understandable you have no regrets. They take up a lot of space too. But I suspect if you had a LISA one with dual Twiggy Drives, you'd probably be holding onto that for dear life! 😄

    Color Classic analog board trouble

    @YMK It's been more than 2 years since you swapped out the components shown below (replacing DL21 & DL22 with a single 1N5355B): How is your machine doing today? No unusual issues at all? The reason I ask is because I never made time to solder in the components I bought because I was...

    Wow! If PCBWay really will alter the STL in all the right places to make the excessively thin parts thicker, then that is a huge win for the customer! JLC won’t do that. JLC just tells you they either can’t print the part or you the buyer need to accept all risk of possible deformation!

    Absolutely! Some penny-pinchers complained under my video about the $500+ USD price tag, but they forget that 3D printed parts made to perfection are also included. Not only included but MOUNTED. Other kit creators would probably have tried to keep the price down by saying, "Do such-and-such...

    What's Stopping Me From Getting An M4 iPad Pro? OLED Issues

    Nano texture for drawing on the tablet surface would not only reduce glare and reflections but probably also give the glass a more paper like feel when drawing, which actually might be nice to have. Some nit-pickers always complain that anti-glare screens like that reduce the amount of color...

    I consider everything said by @caver01 to be extremely educational. It's what needs to be said in a 3D printing discussion like this. Thank you! At the same time, no matter how much study "the majority of people" put into 3D modeling and printing, that same majority still won't fully...

    What's Stopping Me From Getting An M4 iPad Pro? OLED Issues

    Seems like a reasonably good choice because when I asked ChatGPT about this topic today, that M4 iPad Pro is on the recommended list, as you can see below...

    Passing of Gregory "Torlus" Estrade

    Very sad to hear of his passing. Thank you for kindly informing us about this, @mmu_man .

    Indeed. And I long for the day some brilliant retro geek will pick up the torch and make the LISA emulator actually work. I never could get the existing emulator to work on any of my Macs, and then when I started asking questions about it, the community told me the developer is no longer with...

    I'm new to the forum , Hello!

    Welcome to Tinker Different! Thank you for sharing photos of your current project. I like that copper heatsink and plastic clip to hold it on! Much better to use that kind of setup with good thermal paste and 2-sided thermal tape. All said, I'm thrilled you decided to join us, and I look...

    Uploaded one STL at PCBWay and I'm already seeing things I don't like... JLC3DP priced the same part under $6 for FDM, making PCBWay just over $2 more expensive for that one part alone. I guess that's for all the YouTube video Advertising they *ahem* we the customer pay for. 🤨 On the...

    Well, my order is on indefinite hold due to this craziness... That's 1:00am Japan time. And no, staying up that late didn't work. It's making me wait another day. I emailed them. They said that even if I am able to pay, it will take 5 days to process my order rather than the standard 3...

    Twiggy Mac Beep Sound

    I've not tried it yet, but your best bet to use that fabulous beep sound is to use Sound Master. Thank you, @slomacuser !

    You probably should for the sake of "discoverability." When I search for 3D models, that's usually where I go. I often miss important threads like this one simply because when you don't know if an STL file exists only in a forum, you have to know which forum it might exist in, then use just...

    And that is why my current order (still in my Cart, not ordered yet) includes a TPU version and Carbon fiber reinforced version, in hopes of getting that extra "flex" required... Note the 2 at the top of my order are the enlarged version, while the two below that are the original version, and...

    @caver01 So the question is, how similar is that Printable model to yours, and should he use your enlarged version instead?

    MacEffects Appreciation Post

    @caver01 , thank you! At this point, I should mention to everyone that my big reason to have an extra brightness knob is not merely for a Crystal Clear Mac Effects case. I want a spare one for use in another application, which I will now explain. You see, I recently did a video about the Color...

    My concern is about the fit of even the original Knob you created in terms of tightness. How "tightly" does the original fit in terms of how much those two "split" pieces "spread" when the knob is forced onto the POT's shaft? We haven't really evaluated that yet, but what we do know is Resin...

    @caver01 I downloaded your new STL. It only contains "Mac SE Brightness Knob Combined - 6.2 ID.stl". It does NOT also contain the combined "brim" version, which is needed to get around JLC3DP's infuriating min. size requirements: I suppose you might argue that you only made the slightly...

    @caver01 Incredible work and insight! I downloaded your "macintosh_9inch_crt_cap_v1_FIXED.stl" just now, then uploaded it to JLC3DP here, clicked "Printing Risk" shown at left on their site, and see that all areas which were previously colored red with the original STL file (indicating 0.5mm...
