PSU light pipe Macintosh II, IIx and IIfx – image reference?

[ktkm]

I’m currently looking for a light pipe (the little optical plastic thing that let the light from the LED travel to the surface of the computer case) for a Macintosh IIfx. I have already posted in the trading section, but since I’m curious and I would like to tighten the odds on finding one, would some please post a picture or two, for reference, that I can use in my quest in obtaining one someday?

It is much appreciated!

I would never have guessed! It almost looks 3D printed!? Thank you so much  @jeremywork!

Glad to help! I was fascinated to learn how it works, myself. Nifty little compact design which seems like it could certainly be 3D printed, though I’m not sure how clear the light pipe effect would be.

Thanks Jeremy for posting the pictures!

@ktkm were you able to print it? I'm missing the light pipe in my Mac II and I would love to fix it!

@dramirez I eventually found a MacII donor for a light pipe, but that left me with the same initial problem of having one system without a light pipe. So, I carefully measured the original light pipe and made a .stl for 3D printing, but I have yet to print it. If you want to give it a go, please try the attached .stl, and if possible, let me know if it works.

Amazing, I don't have a 3d printer but I have some shops close by, I'll try your model, thanks!!!
