Hi there All,
I have a Power Macintosh G3 in and the plastics are very crumbly, so i have spend a few hours to make the needed parts in CAD and i have test fitted them. a few revisions down the line, they are ready to print. Here to share: - HDD slide in brackets (the ones that live on the metal frame) - Slide lock to lock the swivel frame in place - HDD bracket for mounting to the drive 0.4mm nozzle, 0.1mm step height, ideally PETG material print with supports. please check slicer image for best print orientation. Happy printing! Arjen.
