Macintosh Portable Feet Remake

aplmak · May 23, 2016

Would be nice if someone out there could reproduce with a 3D printer some of these feet for the portable... These tend to crumble... I suspect it wouldn't be a hard job for a 3D printer... I don't have one...

It would be pretty quick to make but flexible filament is pretty expensive...

aplmak · May 23, 2016

I bet the regular plastic would work out just fine... You don't really have to bend them that much... so I am sure you could squeeze them in...

All we have to do is give it a shot...

And see what happens...

I seriously was asking this in my head today the same exact thing. What was used for the Iici / Quadra feets was plenty flexible enough.

yea if someone makes these, I need few myself!

If you send me a sample I can replicate it

Oh great! I would buy these

Well,

I finally got the computer and the printers unpacked and here is my first attempt:

Pretty Nice!

Macdrone · Jul 2, 2016

very nice.

james_w · Jul 3, 2016

Brilliant - well on its way!

hey 360!

I've seen the pics on your other 3D-printing thread. Damn those feet look good!

You just need to find the correct material/color now!

I'll have to order a batch from you once the prototyping phase is complete ! I destroyed two feet on my Portable trying to get it open...

360alaska · Jul 4, 2016

I have the right color it just costs double what normal PLA costs:

BadGoldEagle · Jul 4, 2016

And how much would it cost? I am completely new to the 3D printing business...

360alaska · Jul 4, 2016

idk, how about 20 dollars for 8?

aplmak · Jul 6, 2016

Hey I'm in to purchase a bunch....

Ask Happlain too!

Hi guys,

I have the expensive flexible rubber filament if anyone is interested. I could do about $20 too, but I would need to design them or be sent the file from 360alaska if they are willing too (Not trying to compete, but I have the better filament for feet!)

360alaska · Jul 7, 2016

The stl is in the other thread, I think you should try to print some with your ninjaflex...

Johnnya101 · Jul 9, 2016

I will if somebody wants them or something, as I have no need for them.

What were the originals made of? Im guessing rubber.

techknight · Jul 10, 2016

I definitely need a handful of portable feets, the price is sorta up there though. But I bet thats because of the filament.
