Mac Chimney: Overdrive I still need to finish the side flaps so I can release the designs for everyone to enjoy. I guess instead of paper the chimney pieces could be 3D printed flat and heated to fold them into shape?

I’d love to explore it but I don’t own any compatible machines. Maybe it’s time to dip your toes into 3D design?

I've printed a few for folks in the past, but I can't really comment on how well they work. I used a combination of regular resin + a flexible resin (about 10%). I imagine their durability is lower than the originals.

Wowee that's quite the haul. If that sad little compact in the bottom left is ever looking for a good home I know a person (me) who would be interested in talking to you :)

Thank you for sharing this solution! uBlock Origin supports similar functionality — though I hope we can find a built-in option or plugin to allow this functionality.

I saw this when I was looking for reference material! I thought "What a glorious monstrosity" 😅 Did it work okay?

The cursed NetBSD HDA. Will it ever work? Find out next time...

There are clips along the seams, start at the back near the view finder and proceed carefully. Once you begin to get a few clips it gets much easier. I used a plastic spudger.

They have a handful of small electrolytic capacitors inside. I had mine open while I was investigating a stint of uncooperative connectivity which resolved itself when I used the correct drivers (go figure). Seems unlikely but if you're sure the shutter has been slid out of the way (e.g...

The height is 290mm. The remaining dimensions fit it snugly on the top of a Compact Mac.

Speaker may be shorting against something. The design is dangerously compact — try putting tape on the back of the speaker to rule it out and inspecting the wires. Mine is extremely finicky and I often need to press the "reset" button on the lower-left-hand side of the portable multiple times...

Uhm… how the heck can I get one of these black ones? They look awesome!

Just my $0.02 but I also find it a little overwhelming on the main list. I've begun hiding all of the sub-forums I'm not interested in and watching the "New Posts" view.

When I visit a new forum I often review these metrics to get a sense of what the forum is geared to. Aside from that, I don't think I often look.

I've kept the dimensions comparable as best as I could with the limited reference material available. However, I am making a few optimizations which may allow this to be cut and shipped in typical "letter size" (8.5" x 11") envelope. The whole assembly will be held together by tape or glue...

We need to establish the BTU baseline before we jump into pastries; for example is there more potential for warmed puddings?

Thanks for sharing, Eric! I'll definitely use it as a resource. Truthfully, I suspect it does not need to be very exacting but I'll respect the original design nonetheless.

It would be so cool if Tom could share the original designs! That being said, I imagine a template could be pretty easily whipped up in Solidworks using their sheet metal tools — solely to make a foldable template, not for sheetmetal production. Maybe I'll take a stab at soon. Should I print...

Welcome, Demik! I would love to see more about your ESP32 bluetooth project for compact macs here :)

I wasn't as successful as I had hoped with this! I had always hoped to release a fully open source version which people could assemble themselves or buy from approved vendors but I think I'm taking a break from this one. Here's the open source project (GitHub Repo)! I'm stumped on the best...
