Now that shipping 3D printed things within the EU is absolutely unprofitable (and unaffordable) in the long term, I'm thinking about selling the 3D models for self-printing. This is also a risk for me, as I practically give up the source of all my work.

Therefore to all those who are interested in such a device:

Would you buy these 3D models?

Please share and boost this survey. I need a lot of opinions.

#NeXT #NeXTcomputer #RetroComputing #Replica

	Yes, I would buy it
	No, not interested
	No, I don't have a 3D printer
	Maybe, I'm undecided

Poll ends at 10:30am.

The Ultimate Marketing Machine

I found this relic while going through a clothes bin. This was given to me by someone in NYC NeXT sales, pre-NeXTstep 1.0. Not sure if BMW was actually a customer (although most big companies had at least one) but I expect that it was more to associate NeXT computers with brands that Steve respected.

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...

“… a special CHM Live book talk with Geoffrey Cain, author of Steve Jobs in Exile: The Untold Story of NeXT and the Remaking of an American Visionary, and key figures from NeXT’s history, including Dan’l Lewin, Avie Tevanian, and Bud Tribble.”

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. 😃
