| Macintosh Portable Feet Remake | |
| Posted by: aplmak on 2016-05-23 09:03:50 Would be nice if someone out there could reproduce with a 3D printer some of these feet for the portable... These tend to crumble... I suspect it wouldn't be a hard job for a 3D printer... I don't have one...  | |
| Posted by: 360alaska on 2016-05-23 12:58:20 It would be pretty quick to make but flexible filament is pretty expensive... | |
| Posted by: aplmak on 2016-05-23 13:16:46 I bet the regular plastic would work out just fine... You don't really have to bend them that much... so I am sure you could squeeze them in... 🙂 All we have to do is give it a shot... 🙂 And see what happens... 🙂 | |
| Posted by: Macdrone on 2016-05-23 17:35:10 I seriously was asking this in my head today the same exact thing. What was used for the Iici / Quadra feets was plenty flexible enough. | |
| Posted by: techknight on 2016-05-24 14:05:33 yea if someone makes these, I need few myself! | |
| Posted by: 360alaska on 2016-06-06 17:25:27 If you send me a sample I can replicate it 🙂 | |
| Posted by: james_w on 2016-06-12 07:07:27 Oh great! I would buy these 🙂 | |
| Posted by: 360alaska on 2016-07-01 22:04:14 Well, I finally got the computer and the printers unpacked and here is my first attempt:  Pretty Nice! | |
| Posted by: Macdrone on 2016-07-02 14:37:50 very nice. | |
| Posted by: james_w on 2016-07-03 03:24:20 Brilliant - well on its way! | |
| Posted by: BadGoldEagle on 2016-07-03 07:55:56 hey 360! I've seen the pics on your other 3D-printing thread. Damn those feet look good! You just need to find the correct material/color now! I'll have to order a batch from you once the prototyping phase is complete ! I destroyed two feet on my Portable trying to get it open... | |
| Posted by: 360alaska on 2016-07-04 13:47:30 I have the right color it just costs double what normal PLA costs:  | |
| Posted by: BadGoldEagle on 2016-07-04 14:02:27 And how much would it cost? I am completely new to the 3D printing business... | |
| Posted by: 360alaska on 2016-07-04 14:22:38 idk, how about 20 dollars for 8? | |
| Posted by: aplmak on 2016-07-05 16:07:32 Hey I'm in to purchase a bunch.... 🙂 🙂 Ask Happlain too! | |
| Posted by: Johnnya101 on 2016-07-06 14:17:21 Hi guys, I have the expensive flexible rubber filament if anyone is interested. I could do about $20 too, but I would need to design them or be sent the file from 360alaska if they are willing too (Not trying to compete, but I have the better filament for feet!) | |
| Posted by: 360alaska on 2016-07-06 18:03:23 The stl is in the other thread, I think you should try to print some with your ninjaflex... | |
| Posted by: Johnnya101 on 2016-07-09 13:47:24 I will if somebody wants them or something, as I have no need for them. What were the originals made of? Im guessing rubber. | |
| Posted by: techknight on 2016-07-09 18:02:53 I definitely need a handful of portable feets, the price is sorta up there though. But I bet thats because of the filament. | |
