3D Printed Mac walking all over an IBM PC?

Ran across this somewhere on the web and couldn't resist saving it:

It can't stand on its own, but stomping this thing would be great!

Bonus points for printing its mouse held in the left hand.

Size the whole thing to the perfect LCD and Pi the snot outta' the PC? Flattening the toe to ball section of the right foot provides cable run. Maybe have the Hammer Toss Commercial looping on the LCD when not playing games?

Sizing for SD or MicroSD sticking out the left FDD like an ejected 5.25" floppy would be perfection?


edit: forgot to mention downgrading Classic to the 512K prototype necessary for SJ to run his intro of the Scully lamed 128K. 😛

MicroSD card sticking out as an ejected floppy from the Mac might be better? Do both, LOL!

Well, it's actually not 3 printed and was available here in Europe some years ago. I have one of those and one iMac (but can't find the arms) .... let it walk over my Thinkpad .... and it can stand on its own 🙂

Now including the iMac to better get an idea of the size! The Classic´s arms attach magnetically (but i cant find them)

Yep, figured it was a product pic that I happened to run across. Notion it to print it sized to an LCD, same scale for the PC. But the leg would be hollow to run wires to the display, maybe all printed together as a unit with removable front bezel and lid?
