Here's one that more resembles the stock bracket. There was room to increase the wall thickness and so I did that to ensure it's stronger. Note this one will be much harder to print.

Like this would be the wall-less version. The LED post is removable to make it easier to print, and it takes a standard 5mm LED. But doesn't look anything like the stock bracket. Even though the plate is thick, it should be fine for any of the SD card emulators. Spinning disk should work also...

@JDW can your MacSD mount from the bottom or does it have to mount from the sides? I'm asking because the walls on the stock drive bracket are 1mm thick and my guess is they will be very brittle if 3D printed (filament or resin). I can make the walls thicker as it looks like there's certainly...

Ok, I will bite. I will try to draft something up this weekend. You basically want stock mount points for a 3.5” drive, stock location for an LED, mounts to a stock metal floppy drive enclosure, but without the long tail that covers the main board cable, correct? I have a bracket that mates to...

LOL

That is correct! :) The case is a stock case that was beat up and badly yellowed. I fixed the cracks and then painted it matte white. The little bevel on the floppy drive slot is due to me replacing the floppy drive with a magneto optical drive. The MO disks fit through the normal slot but...

This is one thing I have not modeled. I always took the lazy route. I use ZuluSCSIs and got them with a 3D printed 3.5“ bracket. I then velcro these brackets onto the top of the metal floppy enclosure. Makes it easy to remove them without screwing/unscrewing a metal HD bracket. Avoids the hassle...

The following post was what I have been using to do this for my Mac II, IIci, Quadra 700, and now Quadra 950. The article is about the IIci but it’s the same approach on the 950 to invert the signal for the ATX. https://bylenga.ddns.net/hardwareprojects.php?page=Centris_ATX.php

My guess is those were what remained of the fuses at F1, F2, and F3.

I just replaced my dead 950 psu with a Corsair HX1200 PSU (puts out enough amps on the 5V rail .. 30A). Fit into the stock psu casing.. just need to put together a wiring harness for the logic board side, do the usual inverter via transistor trick for ps on, wire up new 4 pin molex connectors...

I have successfully done it on a PowerBook 540c and a PowerBook Duo 280c. @croissantking is the first I saw do it successfully (the above link is to his thread) on his 540c which is what inspired me. Never tried on a 190.

Certainly not normal… but very common. Leaking capacitors C10 through C13 cause damage to the IIci’s soft power circuit by damaging nearby traces and chips UB13, UD13, UE13. Even if you have recapped those, there could be remaining damage to the traces/chips, or there could also be cap juice...

That almost sounds like what it takes to purchase a piece of Goro's jewelry :)

I agree with everything @caver01 stated. He is spot on. I do feel that infill has to be provided as an option to the purchaser for the reasons @caver01 stated. But perhaps there is merit in having a basic novice interface and advanced one. Stuff like tapping threads and adding brass inserts are...

I would expect most mass produced parts to be injection molded. But that is too involved/expensive for hobbyists (like me) to do for small quantities. @JDW, resin is pretty strong depending on how it's cured and which resin you go with. Only issues why I don't use my resin printer often is the...

That original STL file you linked in your post, I took a look at it and it seems it was generated in Blender. I've seen a lot of great work done in Blender, but I have seen it used more for 3D modeling free form objects, figurines, artwork, something more unique, etc. Whereas for engineering...

If it’s just the bracket for the fan, wouldn’t PLA work? The temps on the bracket would be minimal and PLA would be strong enough for that application and cheaper. I have drive cases printed out of PLA which do just fine, and they get banged around more than that fan bracket will. Made a fan...

I love mine as well. Works really well and the LCD panel that @zigzagjoe selected is a gem.

I was going to ask if this was the one on sale in San Francisco a few months back on Craigslist. I was tempted but the listing was gone before I could act on it.

An SE/30 with SCC chip issues or problems on the serial circuit will fail to boot under System 7.x whereas it works fine under System 6. There’s apparently some checks that System 7 does during the boot process which will cause a hang. I hit this while fixing one of my SE/30s. I had a post on...
