Attached: 4 images The very first test prints of three parts of my #NeXT #MegaPixel display. And oh boy… the middle part (that one with the ribs) is a nightmare for #FDM printing! Horrible post processing getting rid of the support material! This is wh. y I'm thinking of buying a resin printer. The customers will appreciate it too. Because the parts will have WAY BETTER surface quality! #3DPrint #3DPrinting #RetroComputer #RetroComputing #VintageComputing #NeXTcube #NeXT #Miniature

@Steve12L Ah! reading this made me look for news about Avie Tevanian... I found a quite interesting and recent interview (2018) https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/Avie_Tevanian#Career
At CMU, he co-wrote the Mach microkernel before getting hired at NeXT, and GNU Hurd is based on Mach.

Avie Tevanian

Avadis "Avie" Tevanian, Jr. (born 1961) was the Chief Software Technology Officer at Apple Computer. He was also a member of the board of embedded software tools company Green Hills Software. Avie Tevanian received his B.A. in Mathematics from the University of Rochester, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from Carnegie-Mellon University. Tevanian was an important figure in the development of the Mach kernel while at Carnegie-Mellon. He worked for Steve Jobs at NeXT and later...

First try of a "Tim Berners-Lee" sticker on my #NeXTcube mini turned out not that bad. 😃

Well, I think I'm done with the circuit and PCB design for my #NeXT #SoundBox mini. But before I order the whole thing from #JLCPCB, I'll sleep on it and check everything again tomorrow. Better safe than sorry. 😃

Since some people have already expressed an interest in buying a #NeXTcube mini, I have to collect all these interested potential buyers so as not to lose track of them. Therefore, I have set up a form on my website where all those interested can sign up.

Please spread the word. Thank you. 🙏🏻

NeXT mini Replica Interest

This project is a labor of love that I've been working on for a very long time. Not continuously, but every now and then, as my free time allowed. At some point, I published a few screenshots (this is the very first version) of my 3D model and immediately received…

Well, my last test prints with the material combination of #PETG and #BVOH (for the support interfaces) turned out very well, after proper drying of both filaments and printing with a single nozzle #BambuLab #X1C. It took quite a bit of fine-tuning in the settings, but now it seems to be working. I am now printing one of the two complicated models in its entirety, the monitor stand for the #NeXT #MegaPixel display.
