    "Platinum" PLA for Macs and Apple ][s

    $62.70 USD according to their site. I don't think there's tax added, but shipping of several spools (at least when added to the cart) was not that high. We are trying to save on shipping, which is around $40 for one spool to the US. If we can divide it and get it for around $10 per person...

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    You said it: plastic wrap does not distribute evenly the peroxide, causing pockets of more retrobrite which causes the "streaking". Painting it and reapplying are the method I recommend. It lets you check the level and adding a fresh coat instead of just getting on top of the dried one.

    "Platinum" PLA for Macs and Apple ][s

    Joe and I are getting ready to order some PLA from Europe, this is your chance to band together, so we can pay less per person on shipping. To be clear: We don't get any special discount, just paying for one shipping cost instead of multiple ones. Either respond here or via PM ASAP, we plan on...

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    Long term : none, other than, can get yellow again. Brittleness comes from the plastic composition, not retrobrite. I personally have a few Apple IIc's that have retrobited several times over the years, one about 4 times, they are still "bendable" and in perfect condition. But other plastics...

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    PSA: NEVER, EVER, EVER wrap any retrobrite in plastic. Leave it directly. Whoever came with that "brilliant" idea has caused more harm than good. Only if you don't care about your items or like to live dangerously should use it. Just stick to the proven methods and techniques, be patient and...

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    My opinion is that if you can't get consistent sun, try with a UV lamp. That way you cal leave it all night, just need peroxide, and you have full control. I have newer had good results with the cream as the creamer agent affects it.

    "Platinum" PLA for Macs and Apple ][s

    Hi y'all! I'm new to the 3D world (I blame Joe!) and using my design background I am trying to get some custom color PLA providers that are closer to us, to get affordable materials. Just want to share what I'm doing, so maybe we can get bulk prices and do some group buy. Will update on the...

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    As previously stated, everybody is free to fear anything they choose. I handled peroxide 12% with my bare hands, heated it in the microwave for years, and had some splashed in my eyes. I’m still perfectly fine. Maybe is because I’m from the generation that grew up without seatbelts, bike helmets...

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    Just a quick reminder that hydrogen peroxide is used in hospitals to clean wounds, and in Dentists offices to clean teeth. Is not dangerous, if anything, fumes would sanitize your lungs 😜😄 Herbert has done indoor retrobrite for years with excellent results. But everybody is entitled to their...

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    There's a lot of "Theories" about retrobriting, in my experience (more than a hundred items done for the past 6 years) I use the original formula, no youtube or amateurish methods. The original formula - that comes from an Amiga user and a Brazilian plastic engineer - uses CLEAR peroxide mixed...

So far tested with different cables, different monitors, removed (desoldered) the connectors and cleaned all, replaced the hue trim, and still no change. Using the video port with Plamen VGA works...

    "Platinum" PLA for Macs and Apple ][s

    You can't match a genrated color with a printed color. Completely different. You need CYMK values, which they will be able to match.
