Ok, so I loaded up the unsplit version of the base I made and if you print with four permieters which might be overkill, and 15% cubic infill, .2mm layers wth a .4mm nozzle, it comes out to about 250 grams of filament including supports.. That’s a quarter spool, so maybe $5-7 to print this yourself.

Of course this depends on choices you make in the slicer * cost of filament. I used 3 walls and 15% gyroid infill and standard grid supports. You could go much higher infill if you were worried about compression strength. I think this is fine. When I get home I can check how much filament the...

I don't think it's unreasonable to have one made by a service, especially if you don't have access to a printer, or if you want a single part instead of split. If I was going to do that, I would use a clear resin option with 100% infill and it would look virtually identical to the original. Cost...

@wells I know sound isn't the main reason most of us probably would build one of these, but I am curious if the audio distortion improves at all with your embedded audio chip. I ended up pulling the battery power on mine which helped (using the adafruit module) but it still makes faint clicks...

OH! I just had an idea for the Capacitive "switch" on top. . . What about using it as a mouse click and setup an accelerometer-based mouse input akin to this: https://github.com/NITHIYAVS/Motion-based-USB-HID-device-Tilt-Mouse-Gamepad- The idea is that you pickup the MacintoshMini and "steer"...

I continue to get comments on the Maclock/MacintoshMini, so although I have a working build, I'm probably not the only one wondering. . . did your updated prototype board work? I was also thinking about the capacitive switch under the top surface. I unplugged mine and just taped it up out of...

OK, this is really making the whole project accessible to anyone. That’s pretty cool. I have had several people I work with suggest stuff like “wow, you should make these“ or “You should sell these” or “I wanna make one. . . was it hard to do that?” to which I have to admit that you can’t just...

One more comment: These little tweaks are, of course, very minor quality of life improvements--overall, the board and the software config is fantastic! I work in a photo studio and some of the post production folks are just mind blown when I show them I can launch Photoshop 1.0 on this little...

I was able to hide ALMOST all of the boot text updating cmdline.txt by integrating: console=tty3 loglevel=3 quiet There is still one line remaining that pops up for a moment right before the chime.

Ok, that worked, but it took a while. I connected a mouse and made an ever-widening spiral and click click click until I landed a click into the OK button. It worked, but I think now I remember in the initial reales that maybe the emu cursor wasn't transparent on this screen. In the earlier...

Maybe I can click all over or try a keyboard. I know I got past this at one point.

I have had my little macintoshMini deployed as a desk accessory After Dark gizmo for a couple weeks now and just brought it back home to do updates. I booted it back on my WiFi and connected remotely, ran the update script and let it finish and reboot. I missed the last updates, so now I have a...

Me too if you have enough.

I think you showed that in the video with a short mouse/kbd dongle attached. I am tempted to add a second one now that I removed the battery. Today I set it up on my desk having tweaked the image to randomize the most recognizable After Dark modules. A few people have noticed and everyone got a...

USB Port added:

Ok, I made a new observation. The audio noise is coming from the use of the USB-C battery connection. I think I am going to try to bypass it. I want to keep the connector, but since this will be a desk accessory, battery power is just a novelty to show someone for a few moments. It will be...

Two steps forward one step back: Having constructed a working Micro-to-USB-A adapter cord that I will mount in the back, I wanted to test it first. No mouse control. No keyboard control! In fact, if I SSH into the running system and check run 'lsusb' I only get the root hub device. However, if...

Also, I WAS able to tweak the gain on the audio using the trim pot. I think for now I will be satisfied with a compromise between audible emu value and dropping the noise to a less-noticeable level.

Perfect! Thanks! I was finally able to get in there with a multimeter and probe my button 1 and sure enough, it was non functional. Maybe the heat from desoldering or part of the pin was left behind. . . in any case this switch was DOA so I replaced it with a traditional tactile. After...

I noticed a trim pot on the Adafruit sound module. I think it’s a gain adjustment but I wonder if adjusting it would have any effect on the digital noise it’s picking up and amplifying. I don’t mind if the sound a quieter overall as a result. I too will display flying toasters! I was having...
