Macintosh Portable Feet Remake

[aplmak]

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]

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.

 

[techknight]

yea if someone makes these, I need few myself!

 

[360alaska]

If you send me a sample I can replicate it

 

[james_w]

Oh great! I would buy these

 

[360alaska]

Well,

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



Pretty Nice!

 

[Macdrone]

very nice.

 

[james_w]

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]

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

 

[BadGoldEagle]

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

 

[360alaska]

idk, how about 20 dollars for 8?

 

[aplmak]

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]

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

 

[Johnnya101]

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

What were the originals made of? Im guessing rubber.

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