    Can We Crowd Source 3D Models of the InWin A500 I/O Shields?

    I can help model and test print something. I have no InWin devices, so yes, photos and dimensions would be required.

    DIY Desktop Video Microscope for Micro Soldering

    The thing is that I had all these random parts laying around from other projects, life, and hobbies... It would probably be cheaper to just buy the outright scope and be done with it. This was a learning experience, and a way to repurpose some things I had on hand without money out of pocket...

    DIY Desktop Video Microscope for Micro Soldering

    Part 4: Completed assembly and all parts 3D printed. Overall view: Closeup of the light control... I had 3D printed the case to include external buttons, but they did not move far enough so I clipped them off. Back to using a toothpick or paperclip to push the buttons. I will likely just...

    DIY Desktop Video Microscope for Micro Soldering

    Part 3: Just to show the original Belows with the Canon connectors I removed: I finished the 3D mount with a nice tri-wing knob on it so I can move it up and down the chemistry stand much easier. Then I soldered in the light ring. Rather than go all out, I decided to have three options...

    DIY Desktop Video Microscope for Micro Soldering

    Part 2: The cone attachment and the lo-res telescope camera have some room for adjustment. By moving the camera closer to the lens, you adjust the focus and zoom. With the 1080p camera, I had to disassemble everything and remove the built-in lens. I abandoned the cone idea, and decided to...

    DIY Desktop Video Microscope for Micro Soldering

    I don't know the limit of photo attachments, so I will make this post multi-part. Part 1: After seeing some of the amazing repair work that people do on YouTube, I have been wanting to get a digital microscope. Trying to get by with these things is just not making the cut anymore. I have a...

    iMac G4 with a red tinted screen please help!

    Sorry, but I think you will have to disassemble it again. Was it fine before you cleaned it? Does it change when you move the arm/screen around (swivel and tilt)? First guess is that the video cable is not secured in all the way to the connector, or a pin got loose in the connector, or maybe...

    Apple Pro Speaker Grille - print your own

    This weekend I printed a couple other mediums. Original Cube Amplified, PETG Clear, PLA white Strawberry Bondi Blue Of course the Cube speakers need new diaphragms. I already have the replacements in hand, waiting for that 2024 PowerPC Challenge to do the repair.

    Apple Pro Speaker Grille - print your own

    I have 6 sets of Apple Pro Speakers and finally acquired a set of G4 Cube pro speakers, with the USB amp and speaker grilles. So I measured and modeled, then printed my own. Of course you can print in any color or media you like or have on hand, I don't think you will get close to transparent...

    Query: G5 iMac & Their Troublesome Power Supplies

    I recapped my G5 iMac in 2005, it was pretty easy to see all the caps that were swollen. I believe there were some on the motherboard as well as the PSU. I don't think Console5 has any recap kits for G5 iMac, so you would have to find appropriate caps elsewhere... you may be able to get by...

    Query: Who Here Has Used DaVinci?

    I did linear video editing for years in the late 1990s before everything went digital. I have used iMovie and Adobe Premiere in the past as well. I downloaded DaVinci Resolve earlier this year to do some image stabilization on a video clip. I went to the Total Solar Eclipse but did not have a...

    Help with ATA-based DVD drive locking up 2008 Mac Pro while trying to burn.

    Forget about using SATA/IDE adapters if your drives are already SATA. There should be two extra SATA ports on the motherboard. Check my thread here for some pics of a MacPro3,1 about adding two SATA drives in the optical area. See these two ports with the red and orange cables?

    Is it possible to somehow install a floppy drive inside a powermac g4 quicksilver?

    Is it possible to somehow install a floppy drive inside a powermac g4 quicksilver?

    Here is my 3D bezel for a USB-floppy. STL files linked here I am not sure if a standard 3.5 floppy will fit in the small hole available with the eject button being so far from the slot. Remove the blank bezel and see how narrow the slot is. Here is the USB faceplate snapped in, with disk...

    Is it possible to somehow install a floppy drive inside a powermac g4 quicksilver?

    I adjusted the height of the USB floppy with a 3D printed bracket, so I have the correct height, but I need to bring it forward so the manual eject button protrudes enough to eject a disk.

    Is it possible to somehow install a floppy drive inside a powermac g4 quicksilver?

    Those don't look like USB floppy drives, those look like standard half-hight internal drives. As I said before, there is no controller/adapter for these types of drives. I was under the assumption you would use your USB floppy in the drive bay and connect to the internal USB port on your PCI...
