3D-printed 68030 CPU Puller

[obsolete]

After bending a few pins by using a DIP puller to remove PGA 68030s from sockets (I know, I know) I decided I needed a better tool. I thought I'd have to design one myself, but I found this 68040 puller tool by jessenator on Thingiverse. I was able to scale it down to 68030 size, and it works great! It fits the SE/30 just fine; slides right on over the GLUE chip. Hopefully it will work on most other 68030 Macs as well.

Great! How much did you need to scale it down by?

The numbers are shown in the photo above, but for convenience, I'll write them out too:

X: 40 mm (73.39%)
Y: 39.2585 mm (100%)
Z: 35 mm (80%)

Of course, this is dependent on my printer, which is relatively well calibrated, but not perfect, so your results may vary slightly.

Nice.
