I hope its okey that i post this is this section. What im looking for is a CDROM bezel for PowerMac 9500. Also looking for a powerbutton, they are brittle little things :/  

Thanks in advance / zChris

If you have access to a 3d printer, I modeled the cdrom bezel part on and posted it to the forums over here. A 3d printed part definitely isn't going to be quite as nice as the original as far as how it looks, but the model is pretty close and has been working pretty good for me on my 9500 and 8500! Plus, finding an intact original bezel is going to be pretty hard to source these days.

It looks very nice i must say. Do you have access to a 3d printer and might be interested in printing one for me for a cost ofcourse

Im also looking for a powerbutton, perhaps there is a 3d model for that too?

Thanks! I do have a 3d printer, but I just moved and I don't have it set up yet. There are a bunch of places on the internet that will do 3d prints to order, though I have never used them so i'm not sure exactly how they work. I think 3dhubs.com is pretty popular, but again, I have no personal experience with the system.

As soon as I get my stuff up and running I can crank something out for you though. this week is kinda hectic for me, but I should have a lot of time next week. I'll send you a message when/if I am able!

No-so-ironically, the power button to my 9500 is also busted. I've been meaning to model a replacement but I just haven't had the time. At some point, I'm definitely gonna make one though.
