    There's not much room... between a backing plate, the PCB, the lowest profile (and reasonably priced) switches, I'm already over by 5mm above the stock height. Lid still does close (it pushes the keys down a bit). I was going to shave off the stems from the stock caps and glue in 3d printed...

    Nah, kudos go to @croissantking. :) I'm just following in his footsteps.

    Warning - floppy drive head mechanism glue is deteriorating

    Watch from 39:11 (39 minutes and 11 seconds into the video). He specifically mentions what you can do if you have stretched out the heads so that they are no longer against the media. Fairly common mistake that's made while attempting to clean the heads.

    Identify SE/30 video card

    I just got the same card (as @unity) from @techstep yesterday. Unfortunately I currently don't have a means to test it since my only SE/30 has @zigzagjoe 's LCD kit in (ie. the CRT tube and everything, analog board, etc are all removed and packed away somewhere) and the video card for the LCD...

    Salvation Archive

    I still don‘t get it. Why not just upload your findings to Macintosh Garden, like everyone else?

    Portrait Display, fully recapped and working great. The lower left corner geometry needs a little work but I'm going to leave it for now as it's not that bad and it's really difficult to reach the magnet for the lower corner while the display is operational. Dark spot is just the refresh.

    Laserwriter IIf

    TPU as a material seems like it should work. I have been testing a 3D printed blade to see if it will clean the drum without scratching it. That's been mostly successful. But the tests have been manually placing the blade (tpu and metal part) on the drum and rotating the drum by hand. I have...

    Laserwriter IIf

    Thanks!! Does the metal holder insert into the silicone part? Is that how the two pieces are coupled, or is it glued on top, or on bottom, or both sides (ie. the silicone sandwiches around the metal part)?

    Laserwriter IIf

    If you do have a picture of the wiper with the silicone piece, both from top down angle as well as side profile angle, that would be helpful. And if have access to some calipers, if I can get a size measurement on length, width, and thickness, down to 0.5mm accuracy that would be great. Oh...

    Laserwriter IIf

    3D printed a TPU blade. Held on using aluminum tape on one side. I installed it and manually rotated the drum to see what would happen. First the positives: it's not marring or scratching the drum in any way, the TPU is soft, flexible, and rubbery in feel. Very much like silicone. And given...

    Well, opened up the NOS toner cartridge to take some measurements on the silicone wiper blade. But there's nothing left of the blade... :( All the orange particles above are what remains of the wiper blade. It had basically disintegrated... not sure why it's orange in color. This was a...

    Finished cosmetics on my Laserwriter IIf. Refinished exterior to Satin Stone Gray like my other Macs. Internally it's been completely recapped, has a new main rubber roller and separation pad. Also got a donor fuser from a parts Laserwriter IInt. The print out is ok... still a little dirty...
