A 3D printed full-size Macintosh – The Brewintosh @KevinNoki
Kevin Noki decided to build a Macintosh 128K computer with modern parts inside but he didn’t want to gut a perfectly good classic mac. The decision was made to 3D print a case made to the exact dimensions of an original.
After months of hard work, I finally managed to 3D print my own homemade full-size Macintosh, I named it the “Brewintosh.” Built from an old thin client running Linux and a modified Mini vMac, it can boot from a modified floppy drive and share files via SD cards. Watch this video to see how I put it all together!
After designing every feature, the shell was 3D printed. Filler, sanding, primer and paint took hours of painstaking work. A cash register LCD display was repurposed. A USB floppy drive was modified. Teensy and Arduino microcontrollers were used for various low level functionality.
A fabulous project with so much dedication. It is meticulously documented in the video below.
