A few years ago, I compiled MiniVMac on the PocketCHIP enabling AppleTalk via LToUDP. Since then, the PocketCHIP has made a handy pocket-sized Macintosh to have around to test AppleTalk with. I've always wanted to print a front bezel case and keycaps for it and today I decided to do that.
All of these parts were found online and have been appropriately linked in the Printables model page. I modified a few as noted. I printed the case and keyboard with Polar's Retro Platinum so it looks the part. The key cap legends were printed on waterslide paper with a laser printer, individually hole punched, and applied one at a time. The case badges don't really blend in (an idea here is to make a waterslide that covers 100% of the bezel surface and cut openings with a craft cutter). But I think the keyboard came out nicely.
