Well, Julia from JLC just emailed me, and I sent her yet another reply. Hopefully, I repeated myself enough times that they realize they need to accept payment from me and lock my order into their Queue!

@This Does Not Compute Thank you for confirming, and for providing your complete cart too! The resistors and diodes in your Cart match the list I posted back in 2023.

And here's another crazy thing about JLC... Every single time I checkmark "Remember me." But guess what? It never does! I have to sign in multiple times per day, in the same browser (SafarI), on the same Mac. And yes, I've tried it on other Macs too. Not only that, but that sign-in box...

OK, but immediately after replacing those 5 components (only 5 because you used 1 diode instead of 2 for DL21/22), did your CRT content remain exactly the same as before, or did you need to make adjustments?

Apparently not. They email you to say you must wait until midnight China time and then try to make your payment as quickly as possible to ensure your order is then locked into the order queue. Crazy stuff. So after waiting for the second time until 1 AM Japan time last night to do you just...

More bad news with JLC. This is the 2nd night in a row I've stayed up to 1:00am only to see they still are refusing to accept my payment, saying their printing capacity is maxed out. :(

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! 😄

@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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
