Nice job! I had a similar project for my Compaq LTE 5000 (wanted to convert it to LiPo batteries with charge control). But the war started and the project and I had to abandon my computer when moving away. Man I love that PC - it is very modable. I want to gut the living thing out of it!

@polymatt 20 күн бұрын

Hey thanks so much and best of luck on your Compaq restoration! So many of these need some battery love these days. I think a lot of retro enthusiasts overlook the batteries because we're not exactly taking them out and using them as daily drivers.

Why didn't you just resin cast from the original?

@polymatt 22 күн бұрын

Good question - too complex of a model. Way too many small undercuts. A resin cast also isn't something I can share with the community for others to use so it just made a lot more sense to do a full model. Not saying it couldn't be done, but thats far beyond my skillset for this complex of a model!

Very cool project, thank you for sharing! I do think this case with a Framework mainboard would be fantastic. I read through that forum post before I saw this video and was thinking that it would be a great use for such. You mentioning that only seems to confirm that. I will be interested in seeing what comes of this machine in the future. Do you continue to use it? Does it become a show piece? I am sort of hoping you find a way to use this machine at least somewhat frequently, somehow. Thanks again!

@polymatt Ай бұрын

Hey thanks so much and glad you enjoyed it! This is a laptop from ‘94 so it’s definitely not my daily driver but it’s great for old school DOS gaming so I definitely use it a few times per week. Totally not practice to lug around so it’s going to be a nice show piece but also function when I get the itch to play some Doom or Secret of Monkey Island 😁

Hi Matt, great video. I have a 760ED and 770Z with bad rubber paint, but worse. On the lids of both machines the paint/rubberized coating is completely coming off and exposing the bare shiny metal. On the 770Z even the paint on the palmrest is coming off and exposing the shiny metal. Do you recommend using the same method to remove the rubberized paint and the same method to apply a new coating of paint using the same paint you used?

I really love your videos. I have a 701c that my best friend left me when he moved away 10 years ago. I've kept it in storage and never really touched it. About 5 years ago, I checked on it and found the battery had leaked, so I threw it away. The surface also became very sticky. Since then, I've always wanted to clean it up and have searched online for information, but after reading up on it, I felt like I couldn't do it myself, as I didn't want to make it worse. I even brought it with me during my recent move. Today, I felt inspired to refurbish it and found your video on KZbin. It's really professional and your craftsmanship is amazing. After watching it, I'm even more convinced that I can't do this. It's too difficult for me. Now, The laptop can power up but doesn't have OS. I have a question: how did you reinstall the system? If you have time, could you teach me? Thank you very much.

Have you considered printing the parts with auxiliar support structures to prevent deformation during printing?

@polymatt Ай бұрын

Definitely. Now that I know how the case deforms, If i were to do this again, I'd add in temporary internal stiffeners attached to the sides and the base with small (1mm or so) connection points designed to keep the case from warping but intended to be cut off at afterwards.

@davidoliveira7184 Ай бұрын

@@polymatt and on that note, switching to a lighter metal and/or introducing interior cavities in the design (either by machining out cavities, say in a honeycomb pattern, or printing the thicker volumes as a hollow 3D trellis) would be great additions!

@davidoliveira7184 Ай бұрын

Awesome project! 👏 Since supply is scarcer and scarcer, what barriers are there to 3D print the *butterfly keyboard* components?

@polymatt Ай бұрын

Thanks so much! Great question. So the keyboard is a tough one. It's really precise and made from a metal track in hard injection molded plastic. You'd probably have an easier time cutting sheet metal rather than 3D printing the base and the tracks, then you'd have to figure out what you're going to do for keycaps, as this is a rubber dome style keyboard and membrane. It's definitely doable but in my experience, the keyboard almost never fails. If it ever sticks, or doesn't work, its due to an issue with the case or re-assembly pushing up on the bottom since the tolerances are so tight. I've never seen one that's actually broken from use or stress.

This is just awesome. It really makes me want to build my own laptop from scratch. I'm thinking that it'd be easiest to just weld some sheet metal and grind sharp corners. I could even weld nuts and bolts in strategic places to use as standoffs. If I made it really thick like older laptops were, I could maybe solder multiple Pi's together as a cluster and have a giant battery.

I did polish the top and it’s very shiny - I can see my reflection in it but it’s not a pure mirror finish as there are lines and artifacts that I wasn’t able to sand or buff out. It’s embedded in the steel so I’m guessing it’s artifacts based on the SLM process.

I’m sure you’ve probably seen some Damascus forging videos from a certain British blacksmith, where he usually dips the finished parts in ferric chloride? Then in baking powder water to neutralize the ferric chloride, and then lets it sit instant coffee to get the Damascus pattern more visible and higher contrast between the colors. I wonder what these metal 3d printed parts would look like if you did the same finishing process. Would there be any discernible pattern? Since these are made with very thin layers stacked on top of each other, I’m thinking it might have a similar appearance to Damascus

Im going to have to check into that printing service! I resin print and sell a part for cars that i sell for $30 each. I have had a few customers have issues with the parts getting brittle and breaking due to heat exposure under the hood of their car. I contacted a 3d printing service to inquire about having them printed in aluminum or stainless steel and their quote was over $300 for one part and the price really didnt drop ordering multiple parts. The part i sell is small and has about 1/10th the materials that your laptop case uses.
