Description

Well, Hello there big boy!

 

Here is a fun bin designed for the desk or underneath the desk. It's pretty large at 185mm wide x 210mm deep and 260mm high. That's around 7.25" x 8.25" x 10.25" for the old skoolers.

 

This design is for experienced printers that have it all together. Don't make this your first print after getting your printer.

 

Don't try and scale it down - it's not going to work. Give me a bad rating for not working when scaled down, and then I will growl at you.

 

This is a LARGE print. It's going to take around 780 grams of filament. That's the price you pay for such things. No grizzling. Talk to Apple in 1984 for the design if you want to grizzle.

 

The front flap works best with some springs. I designed it for and used 8.5mm x 36.5mm extension springs. You may be able to get it to work with something similar or even some rubber bands. Give me a bad rating because you printed it out and then realised that you will need springs, and then I will shame you publicly.

 

The front panel requires a fair bit of support underneath. It will come off very simply, but you must take care. A small flathead screwdriver and some side cutters will be required. Write a lousy comment stating that it was hard to remove the support; then, you can design your own models in the future.


Instructions:

  • Remove the support from underneath the front panel. Take care not to damage the attachment points, and be sure to clean out every last bit you can see. Special attention is needed for the flap attachment.
  • Add the badge to the front panel using a dab of superglue. If you are anti-Apple, then don't. I won't mind.
  • With the main body, clean the brims (if any)
  • With the top lid, clean the brims away (you have a burr removal tool, right?)
  • Attach one end of the springs to the front flap before attaching it to the front panel.
  • Slot the flap into the front panel at 90 degrees, and once fully in, swing it downwards.
  • Attach the other end of the springs to the front panel and then arrange them so they do not interfere when the flap swings inwards.
  • Place the main body on a desk on its back.
  • Locate the front panel onto the main body clips, then gently press them together from above. Wow, that feels good.
  • Stand it up and fit the lid! Cool, eh?
  • Show it to someone else.

 

If you managed all of that, I am proud of you!

 

To allow me to do more like this, please give me a thumbs up, collect it, and then write a really nice comment. My rating suggestion is five stars. Anything else will be an insult, and I will sulk for days.

Love it! Easy print too! Thanks so much! Wish there were magnets for the top lid to attach. It was so cool I had to make a Retro Apple Logo for it. https://makerworld.com/en/models/162931#profileId-178860

The sound of removing the support from the front panel (in one piece) was near orgasmic. Worth printing for that alone.

This is by far one of the best things you'll ever print. It's also really well designed and the finish is excellent. I'l using mine to store all the poops + purges, brims and supports I've made with the A1 Mini, until I work out a way to recycle them. Really can't recommend it enough, even the Mrs. complimented it while the lid was printing.

I saw this print about 2 months ago when I first bought a printer, took the advice and didn’t print it! but after 300-400 prints I gave this ago and turned out very satisfying! got springs from a local electronics store (JayCar for fellow Australians). Thanks for this!!

Thanks for the pictures and review @Cloakroom. Appreciate it. I guess that you now have 198 other springs to use up. 😃

Great one! I printed on A1 Mini mostly in Polymaker Muted White PLA and it came out great.

Do you know which PLA filament is the closest match to the old Mac case color?

I have no idea. I haven't actually seen one of these in real life. I have been printing this model in Bambu Basic PLA White and it seems close to what I think it should look like. The Matt PLA doesn't look very good. ABS White might be a good choice too.

where did you get the springs? I can't find the right kind

I had a pack of assorted springs that came from eBay (or similar). Looks like this item on Amazon https://amzn.asia/d/5Krr2hw If you cannot find a suitable spring, I would use a rubber band. Tie it to one of the loops, and then maybe use a small zip-tie to connect to the other loop. Worth a try.
