I didn't even think about that. I sincerely apologize, things haven't been going so well for me as of late and I should have thought twice before posting something like that. Honestly I would rather not be involved in this drama any longer (provided it goes on), since I see where they are coming from now.
In fact I kinda regretted writing that soon after I posted that message. I remember now they've done quite a lot for the community and I think I should have thought of that before vehemently writing that. Honestly I would be interested in the project, but I shall respect what they'll do with it.
I am deeply sorry for anything I said that has hurt anyone here. Please ignore that message from now on...

Are you accusing me of libel for commenting on a reference to a code that indicates the opposite is true compared with what was asserted? Please expand on that.

How you going on that STL file?
Download link yet?

Nope. As stated I’ll have to order a new old stock OEM part and will either 3D scan it, make measurements or remix it or a combination of these techniques, and as I’m not a cad expert but just have some experience it will take time.
Were you unable to read all that the first time I stated it or are you just being childish?

Will 3D printed parts be strong enough to support the weight of a CRT? I've never 3d printed anything and I don't know much about the bezels on slot loaders, only tray loaders.

Yes they will indeed.

Okay well let us know when you've made your file, we look forward to seeing how well it fits 👍

Wonderful news. Let me know once it’s ready.
Actually just let me know when you find a NOS bezel. I’m sure Mr Polkadots has one for you.

wow this is rather hostile to someone offering to help out the community. Sad.

Help out the community? He could have offered to help without taking a dump on others peoples work and ethics.
You don’t help by telling people their time and work is worthless and arbitrarily get into arguments.
I’m just pointing out the absurdity through satire.
If he wanted to help, he could have started his own thread when he made the STL, not bullied and tried to defame someone else’s business model and try and get others to join in.

I’m super excited. 30 pounds of glass with wood screws held together by 3D prints. What could possibly go wrong.
Well other then it failing and cracking the neck/yolk.

For those wondering, I believe the only ABS part on the iMac G3 (as compared to polycarbonate) is this bezel. Unfortunately, as you can see, they added fire retardant (“FR”) which is the root cause of extreme brittleness. This structural bezel needed to have the rigidity of ABS as it held the CRT and connected all other plastic components together.

Several attempted prints in ABS and SLA were done and each failed in either strength or in fitment.

This is exactly what I was concerned about. It's just not a good idea to print such a structural part.
I'm not trying to hate on you @derekdavidkent but you're causing drama that isn't needed.

To be clear, I have no objection to anyone wanting to explore for themselves. I’d be happy to offer and feedback I can, but I’ve been down this road before with 3d prints of the bezel and it ended badly. Just don’t want MacEffects associated with an inferior part. There are some applications for 3d printed parts that community members do with great success. I fully support these projects.
