    Custom USB-C powered 8"display for the Apple IIc with STL files and build plan

    That display is different from the one i used, mine has a LCD with flat-flex connect to the PCB, and the PCB looks quite different as well. Since im using composite video in, i guess resolutions doesnt matter all that much but mechanical dimensions may differ. its also possible the...

    Color Classic analog board trouble

    I have found another method to keep the parts cool, we can use a copper strip and roll it up on one end, add a little heat compound glue there (mix of silicone glue and aluminium oxide) squeeze the diode through and voila, you have a custom heatsink, that doesn't touch the leads and thus is...

    Colour classic learnings of the day

    Hi everyone, I'm making this post just to memorize and help those with a similar issue. While upgrading a colour classic with a mystic upgrade i got a Bus error message before boot, i could not really work this out, and swapped memory, bluescsi, motherboard and CPU, and nothing changed the...

    Custom USB-C powered 8"display for the Apple IIc with STL files and build plan

    Hmmm... it was a long time ago i bought this, so forgive me for not remembering the exact vendor, i suspect i got it from lazada locally. however, amazon has their official store, so im quite sure that should be original.

    3D Printing & MacEffects Appreciation

    Hi Tinkerers, I have made a HDD bracket design for 3D printing, it fits the Colour classic prints well and fits well also. i had a CC with it missing, so now we can print our own. Printables link: https://www.printables.com/model/1468511-hdd-bracket-macintosh-colour-classic

    Custom USB-C powered 8"display for the Apple IIc with STL files and build plan

    the top corner holes have an ID of 4.5mm my inserts have an OD of 5mm, but you can grind them down to 4.5 without too much issue and glue them in with super glue i think. (you can get a long M3 bolt, screw them on and then put it in a drill, you can then use sand paper or probably even a combo...

    it might be that STL files are natively supported and STP files are not, i generally use Linux, so i would not know :cool:

    Ibook G3 battery pack Oh, found another one, this one is tricky to print, and im not 100% happy with it but it is the Ibook G3 battery pack shells, i have assembled a pack like this and it does all fit, but it is not as strong as i want it to be. i forgot the STP file there, so i have added...

    Custom USB-C powered 8"display for the Apple IIc with STL files and build plan

    Really cool sir! do share the pictures, im curious how nice it will look in resin print! SLA could also be nice i think, but there is not much choice for colour. (would work well in black though) for the monitor it takes about 350mA at max brightness, so less then 1A, but more then 300mA...

    I have made a very simple yet sturdy and well placed SD card slot holder for the LC475, i'd like to share it. It snaps in to a slot in the bottom and latches there, so no cutting or alteration to the case is required. if your case is biscuit-brittle, pre-heat the 3D printed plastic part with...

    Custom USB-C powered 8"display for the Apple IIc with STL files and build plan

    I'm willing to make the needed modifications to the existing design, if you can reach some consensus on what would be best, and provide that to me, then i can adjust the current design if needed. to power the computer from the single USB-C plug should not be an issue either.

    Custom USB-C powered 8"display for the Apple IIc with STL files and build plan

    wow, and for $35,- that's a steal! with HDMI i'd have to guide that cable through, maybe we can power the LCD from the USB-C power plug as well the power consumption is low anyways at just 4W. as always, plenty of room for improvement

    Custom USB-C powered 8"display for the Apple IIc with STL files and build plan

    the fit right now is quite tight actually, there is no extra space inside to place a larger display, it would require a re-design of the whole thing (not impossible, but a few hours work for sure) thanks for the link to the solutions to the scribe area on the LCD, this is indeed an issue...
