Hardware / Re: Internal chassis replacement for wide pizza box Macs
March 24, 2025, 01:31 |
Good news, everyone! Since my last post, I purchased a 3D printer and went to work! I've successfully recreated the Power Macintosh 6100 internal chassis and uploaded the STL files here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6989132 It can be printed in 3 parts and screwed together with 3mm screws. I thought I'd post an update to not leave anyone hanging! |

@wove: Yeah, I need to make a new one, but I think I may want to make a 3D printed replica. I scoured the thingaverse and people have recreated the drive sleds themselves, but not the internal chassis they mount to, sadly. @laudland: I 100% agree. I don't think its worth finding an OEM part as I have heard this from you and others now. I think these internal chassis are suffering from the same plague that happened to slot-loading iMac G3s' internal bezels, they are crumbling too, but sadly for those owners, these are holding the CRT! I may shoot the people over at MacEffects a message since they seem to be into recreations of Mac parts (they've recreated the iMac G3's bezel, actually). Thanks for the responses! |

Hardware / Internal chassis replacement for wide pizza box Macs
February 15, 2025, 15:27 |
Hello! I've been searching for it, but I'm unable to find anyone who has a replacement Performa 6116CD internal chassis. http://revontulet.org/2025/02/15/cfa24cbaf86740fe825a5d7146c41ea8.png Years ago, I purchased the machine from eBay and it came from a seller who packaged it really well, but there's really nothing they could have done for the internal chassis. It's the part that holds the drives, power LED, and speaker. It is extremely brittle, like even more so than Macs typically are nowadays. Kind of reminds me of the brittle iMac CRT plastics that are crumbling. I actually broke it more while disassembling the machine last night by lightly pushing on a part of it that I wasn't even interacting with! I feel like a 3D printable recreation would be great, but I lack a 3D printer (and the skills to create the part, which I wouldn't mind learning). Before I try to reinvent the wheel, does anyone have any suggestions on a replacement? Thanks |
