ColorFABB is available but: a) it's expensive b) If you are outside the EU, you have to contact them from their contact page and request a quote, because their website doesn't ship outside the EU. https://colorfabb.com/silk-grey-ral-7044 If your printer is printing PanChroma better than mine...

Here's a color comparison. Top is ColorFABB, bottom is PanChroma. Also: look at that print finish. Same printer. Customized, tuned settings for both filaments (flow rate, pressure advance, temperature, feed rate). Printed on Creality K2 Pro. The bottom (PanChroma) prints like garbage.

The new version of it is a little warmer on the color. ColorFABB RAL 7044 is an almost exact match. Problems with both. "Gooey" or "doughy" is how I would categorize the plastic. I've printed it on everything from a Creality Ender 3 Pro up to a Bambu Lab X1 Carbon. Try using it with anything...

Good point. I equate the stuff to a softer version of pre-aged spindler plastic. HA!

My spools are always dried and stored in a gasket sealed container with hygrometer and silica gel. :D It's not moisture. The filament is garbage. It's soft, like chewy chocolate chip cookies. Put any stress on parts printed with it and it just peels or breaks apart.

A) it's not as close B) it prints like GARBAGE. It's soft, always stringy and has poor layer adhesion.

Maybe on future runs, we can get some of these done. Depending on bulk cost, we may be able to do them for only a couple dollars more per unit. They look GREAT! I'd love to give folks the option for either/or.

Y'all can snag one of these adapters here! https://jcm-1.com/product-category/hardware/classic-macintosh/

Yup, that's just a plain old Mac Plus board. No SCSI mod. I'm thinking it had some sort of cable that would run from the drive, through the battery port, and down to the 25 Pin connector.

Neat machine! Seems to me like it was aftermarket modded to take a SCSI hard drive, and the extra power supply may have been to provide enough extra oomph to run that internal hard drive. Those almost never happened on the Mac Plus. The Mac Plus did have mods back in the day to allow internal...

I have updated my product to use new TPE filament. They are softer, squishier, and stickier. YAY! https://jcm-1.com/product/macintosh-bumper-feet-prototype-style/

The TPU I use is not hard and won't scratch any normal surface. My workbench is pressed fiberboard. I can scratch it with my fingernail. My printed feet don't mar that surface at all.

The softness of the feet is dictated mostly by the hardness measurement, like Shore or similar. I'm curious what the hardness value is on Kay's product.

These look like a great product for my web store. Any objection? Wanna work out a deal? :D

I have not found one with a good color match in PLA +.

#MARCHintosh 2024 GO!

Hey, I talked to Mark Jozaitis of MacEffects today. Here's the latest update: "Apparently there was a typhoon that interrupted shipping in China so there one was, hopefully final, delay on the keyboards." I would think we would have an update in a week or two.

Looking for suggestions from real people with experience on the subject on getting a high resolution (4k? 8k? Higher? Lower? I don't even know) high speed (whatever that means in comparison to a bambu X1 carbon FDM) high quality (i.e. low maintenance, ain't gonna break, easy for an idiot to use)...

Thanks for letting me know. I checked all of that prior to my post (recapping, cleaning, trace repair, etc.). ;) In any case, I got the machine working with the original sound chip. All it took was setting the machine aside for a week and trying again. I kid you not: I just waited a week and it...

Yeah, it'll run "enhanced" code so to speak if you swap your processor. But you won't get MouseText or the other ROM enhancements. This will not change the speed of the Apple /// CPU. An accelerator for that would be.... a challenge.
