WHY I Spent 500 Hours 3D Printing a Retro Macintosh

This build is personal. Inspired by my dad, I set out to 3D print the ultimate retro tribute to the Macintosh 128K. With the help of friends, I built a mini PC, custom keyboard, and custom mouse—entirely from scratch. But getting a print worthy of my dad? That took trial, error, and a lot of patience.

Watch as I push 3D printing to its limits, overcome design fails, and fine-tune every detail to make this project live up to my childhood memories.
