No worries, these are probably a better fit for his machine as they are pre-owned and have that "used" look which would make the fact that one foot is different less noticeable.

If shipping to the Netherlands isn't too crazy, I'm definitely interestedI don't like hijacking maceffects, but I have a couple from a scrapped centris 610...

Hi,
sadly I couldn't find my fine measurement tools I just tried my best on some pictures :/ maybe someone also has a CC and could make it much better than I did

Putting in a random address in the Netherlands returns an estimated shipping cost for up to a pound of $23.28 USD. Its $13 if I select "large envelope" but... especially with a bezel, an envelope would be impossible.If shipping to the Netherlands isn't too crazy, I'm definitely interested
Given you mentioned a scrapped 610, do you happen to have the spare middle blank bezel or CD-ROM bezel for that same computer too, that you might part with?
At that shipping price, I'm definitely interested, feel free to shoot me a DM.Putting in a random address in the Netherlands returns an estimated shipping cost for up to a pound of $23.28 USD. Its $13 if I select "large envelope" but... especially with a bezel, an envelope would be impossible.
Just curious, MarNo84, you're looking for just the plastic piece itself, right? I haven't seen anything (at least on the consumer level) that can do the 3D object printing and the screen printed text. I think the best one could hope for is a 3d print, with a clear printed label, similar to what Maceffects did for his SE/30 clear case purchasers— i.e. a clear label set in Apple Garamond.Hmm I just want to ask again does anyone every tried to recreate the Macintosh Color Classic front badges/logos? Unfortunately I lost my small logo/badge after I measured it :/
Well to be true.. I would just need the badge/part in it's shaped form - even without the printing. I know it's a hard level 3d printing every detail and especially these secure points and curved shape - I would be ok with a little afterwork, grinding and sanding. My printer is capable printing very small and round structures - it's worth a try. If I would have a spare logo plastic, I would mail it to you...but actually there is no spare case to take it from :/...

As far as making an STL. I could probably do it, but this is one of those pieces I'd need to have in-hand—a bit impractical in the current climate :/ When I duplicate parts I constantly take measurements with my micrometer. I'm not saying all of this this to completely put the idea down, but just expose the reality, if you haven't already been thinking about that yourself.
The pain points are really the curve/bevel on the bottom. Another is the shape—that gentle curve across the face of it— getting the resolution on that will be a tall order for the average consumer printer. I'd really need to have it in-hand to be able to take the subtle measurements and refer back to it, without having to have the back-and-forth of camera angles, etc.
Finally, the color. Unless you don't mind white or a gray that doesn't quite match, it's going to be very tough, nigh impossible, to color match it.
Sorry cross-quote from the SE/30 switch thread...I have 3d-printed a couple of different versions but it's not the same.
Amazing - great job done here! is there a final or "beta" file available yet? I would like to test out my printer - especially with some clear or translucent PLA/material...
*Thanks to re4mat I've got a Colour Classic front badge STL nearly ready, @MarNo84 ! : I just need to thicken the "legs" a bit and it should be 100% (you'd really need a .2mm nozzle and z motor gear reducers to do a part like this justice—something finer than bog standard, anyway.) I imagine, with just a touch of paint it wouldn't look out of place with the standard .4mm nozzle print/ as-is. The gear reducer/finer layer height would really tighten up that front/fascia curvature.
Also, due to said informal training (I think parallel training is a better way to describe it, because I have 3d modeling training, just not for "engineering" purposes, i.e. I don't know how to use SolidWorks), I have just a few non-manifold faces, but they don't effect the final print that I can detect, so I don't care too much at this point.

@alaska360:
Your Mac Portable battery v3.0 model has a couple of minor errors that can cause slicing issues, and a weak print.
