Floppy disk vertical? Disks pop out like a toaster? Aside from the concerns over dust (we could put a flip cover to protect it when not in use, I think the idea would be awesome. The problem is still the display. I started making progress on my standalone case for the LisaFPGA... It's...

So, probably not the best idea, but wanted to see if it was a magnetization issue, so I took some magnets and moved it around by the screen and the dark spots definitely shift and move. Unfortunately, they are now worse than they were before. I assume that means it is likely an issue that...

I picked up a non-working CC a while back and just last night I tracked down the failure to boot to be from two failed vias by a leaky capacitor. Once I got the bodge wires hooked up to correct spots, I was able to get the machine to boot up. Fortunately, even the original HD was still...

Yeah, that would probably be ideal. The problem, that I've been worried about this whole time is the challenge of how do you manage taking the 1920x1080 (16:9) output with letterboxing from the LisaFPGA and getting it to display the middle portion on a 4:3 display. I was hoping (probably...

I thought you were saying you don’t want to post it standing on end. And you wanted to print it flat on the surface. Are you saying we should print it like this with the shorter edge on the print bed angled up to use the 400mm of height diagonally to take advantage of the 530mm or diagonal...

I must be misunderstanding what you are saying. The front piece is ~18" wide The full width of the Lisa assembled is 18.75". The difference between a part that can print a 457mm wide print and one that can print one that is 476mm wide is not going to rule out any 3d printers. Even scaled down...

I believe it does, but my LisaFPGA arrives Friday so I'll confirm and we can proceed from there with the result. But I forgot the conversion of CRT size to viewable. It definitely seems like even with a smaller 9.7" LCD, it will be difficult to get something printable on a 350mm x 350mm bed...

Before I got the battery eliminator, I had a relatively cheep 7.5v 1.5A generic power supply I got off Amazon. The 18W version should give you 1.5A, then set the dial to 7.5v: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FZLQ5LJ?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_14&th=1 Also, I used one of these to...

In theory it will work with other displays, as long as they support HDMI input. I explain my rationale for wanting to use iPad LCD panels here. Basically it comes down to availability, cost, and being able to shrink the case to better support 3d printing without unsightly seams. I still need...

Awesome. I was looking to do something to pair with my new LisaFPGA and decided to stuff new guts into the original Lisa mouse model (I think created by @Stephen ). https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/apple-lisa-3d-case-project.5471/post-48704 The Logitech M185 seems to get good reviews...

That looks great! I think 80% puts it at somewhere in the neighborhood of 380mm. If we could shave another 40mm off to get it comfortably under 350, I feel like the chances of getting good prints on these increases dramatically. Just not sure what that would do to the rest of the proportions.

I did something similar for my PB1xx machines. However, be careful using that buck converter with the USB-C trigger board. It will supply the correct voltage, but it is not current limited the way the original power supply is (to 1.5A), so it can potentially feed more current than the Portable...

OK, a side project with my InventoryDifferent inventory management system is to have a set of up-to-date, accurate templates for when I get a new device. Even better is to be able to quickly scan the serial number barcode on the device, and the app can look up the device model information and...

My rationale for the 9.7" display is mainly that there is a ready supply of relatively cheap 4:3 displays. You could do what the guy recently did with his full size recreation, but it required him to buy a 15" 16:9 panel and use software to limit the display area, do resolution scaling, etc...

Also, I started trying to see if I could come up with a nice mouse solution. I have 3d printed versions of the Lisa OG Mouse that were meant for a Mac 128k mouse guts. I'm working on a version that you can stuff the guts of a Logitech M185 into. I think I have the base completed, but...

Yeah, I was going to try to expose the connectors as much as possible by making the LisaFPGA it's own case with buttons and openings for the switches on the top, and port openings on all 4 sides. I would try to create a way to mount it somewhat aesthetically to the back of the MiniLisa. It's...

Yeah, It does have a floppy connector and can be used with floppyemu. I could replace it with an opening for the floppyEMU. My concern is that it would mess up the look of the original. I'd personally rather have a dummy floppy port, or one that provides access to the SD card for the...

Yes, let's not pollute this thread. I created a dedicated thread here: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/apple-lisa-3d-case-project.5471/

Starting a new thread to further discuss our options here. With the LisaFPGA project, I got the idea I would really love to be stuff the device inside a cool Lisa inspired case (3d printed. I'm no designer, but I got some good inspiration from my friendly AI assistant. Obviously the back...

This is awesome. I love that it’s essentially a direct replica just shortened due to the lack of CRT. I was torn on my rendered version because I liked the modern take on the vintage style. Slightly cleaner, which would help with the 3d printing. But not at story to the original. I also...
