I recently learned about the book "Keep It Simple: The Early Years of Apple Design" and I'm obsessed with all the beautiful prototypes. So much so that I got my first 3D printer and taught myself Shapr3d. I think the modular Johnathan Macintosh is such an cool concept, so I wanted to see if I could recreate the Floppy Diskette drawer and while I'm sure the proportions are slightly off from the original, I think it came out amazing! I need to rethink certain structures (like the rail for the drawer already broke) but I think it's a solid first 3D printing project. Would love feedback and thoughts! I'm going to sand, spray paint, and add the logo/label this weekend.

Oh my, how lovely!

I hate to admit it, but I have a huge number if 3.5" disks, but only two disk holders. Having an awesome-looking holder like that would really be neat.

Looking forward to seeing the final holder after painting and with logo affixed!
