:O

THE TIME OF PRINTING MACS IS (almost) HERE!!

So exciting!

This means we're one step closer to being able to replicate Mac case parts (especially those made from SpindlerPlastic) - WIN! :O

That reminds me - Our CAD lab recently got a new 3D scanner. Since we don't quite know how to use this touchy device, I've been working to get it working right. I'm seeing a gradual improvement, though, so perhaps we'll be seeing some new scan-to-print replacement parts soon.

Still can't wait to see 3D printed bezels for stuff like the Quadra 9x0 or new custom fronts for stuff like the SE/30 so we can fit slot loading CD drives.

New parts will be nice, but I'm more interested in designing and printing plastics for some of frogdesign's concept macs. :approve:

Yeah, that would be interesting…
