3D Printing with ChatGPT: Restoring a C64

In this video, with the help of a 3D printer, I will be making the missing keys for a Commodore 64 and also using it to build a game cartridge. But it's also my first time attempting 3D printing, so I'll see if ChatGPT can be helpful and provide valid guidance.

Your channel gives me early KZbin vibes where the content isn't completely professionalized and monitarized yet. Very refreshing, love it. Hope you can keep that vibe going for a bit longer

You made that look easy. I would love to get into 3-d printing.

[@AndreaGaleazzi3D]

That’s because using Prusa printers is very easy and intuitive 👍

[@juhajuntunen7866]

After 5 years in 3D printing as hobby, my idea is: got good quality printer. (My first was Anet A8 and it was cheap and awfull)

[@MyTubeSVp]

Start with learning a 3D modeling software. That is where all the 3D printing fun begins … Once you get around in that software, get a nice printer like the Prusa or Bambu Lab, and you’ll be up and running in no time! Don’t let the cost scare you. You can earn that money back quite fast if you want.

[@awall1701]

@@MyTubeSVp Thanks for the advice, any recommended software for 3D modelling?

Aw your face lit up when the commodore turned on and when the game loaded. You did an excellent job modeling the cartridge, glad to see it worked out.

[@FriedChairs]

Nice project! I had a Commodore 64 when it was new when I was a 10 year old kid. After my parents noticed I had an interest they signed me up for a computer class and got me an IBM XT a couple of years later and my fascination with technology has been with me ever since. The use of ChatGPT and 3D printing in your video about the C64 is an interesting aspect showing the great progression of technology.

[@garybenade]

you learn new skills fast, I 3D print so I know how hard it is to get right so well done, I'm impressed. This was an awesome project

[@jeffcats88]

Wow, amazing job!! To think you went from never having 3D printed anything or modeling, to being able to accurately recreate a cartridge like that. Very impressive. I've subbed, hope to see you do more of this :-)

[@Sovvyy]

Really enjoy how you communicate your thought processes clearly. *Also the use of ChatGPT in this format works surprisingly well!

The endless nights I spent copying those c64 games. It's when my piracy addiction started. We had about a dozen bulletin boards with every game on it for people to spend downloading at 1200bps. I miss those days.

great idea for a video. i'm still somewhat new to 3D printing and never tought of asking GPT to assist in any way. Your video gave me a bunch of ideas, grazie mille!

Ive painted commodore plastic using a product called Krylon Fusion before. It's a good choice, if you can find the colour you need.

[@WobinuFilms]

I think the orange colour for the function keys is actually a nice touch and the slightly different colour gives the project character, it shows that the machine has been fixed up in an endearing way. If it was a perfect replacement rather than a perfectly functional imperfect one it wouldn't really have much character to show the history of the machine, but a perfectly functional yet imperfect repair in that the parts don't perfectly match the originals in appearance leaves the machine seems to keep a mark on the machine's history to show that the machine has been well used and loved (kind of similar in the way that bodge wires and glue do). So I like little repairs like this that involve fashioning up new parts creatively to get the machines working.

[@Sayakas_Digital_Attic]

Thank you for sharing your perspective! I agree, I also think that the orange color adds a special touch to the project :)

[@johnnymerchant]

[@DennisGentry]

Maybe this is late advice, but for printing precise shapes without visible layer lines, I like resin printing. You do need to rinse and post-cure your parts after printing, but they come out much better (and are still easily paintable if you want a different color). Even if you go with a very complete initial setup, with automatic wash and cure station, you can get started for under $500. On a budget, you can use the sun to cure, and a pickle jar to rinse, and should be able to get started around $300.

I love this. I'm an 80s kid. So when I had to learn something I hit the library. Then in my late Teens/twenties I hit the web. Now folks are using AI to learn how to do things. I love how young people are using the resources out there to learn and do things. It gives me hope. Also EVERY younger person I know who uses this tech warns me that you have to use your own brain as well, as it can be totally wrong. It's being used as a tool, not an outsourced brain. I love it

[@chainreaction8977]

Perfection. The video too...

[@elfenmagix8173]

Don't trust ChatGPT for anything. It has all the information all wrong. 1) The plastic used on the Commodore Computers is ABS. Thus the Keys to be printed should be in ABS. Period. 2) Chances are you have a .40 nozzle, so in printing a .175 layer height would bring smooth results. Also print it at a slow speed of around 40mm/sec to 35mm/sec. for smoother results. 3) If your printer's software supports "Layer Ironing, then turn it on. It wll take longer for the print to be done but it would come out very smooth when done. You would not need to be sanding the 3D printed items. 4) Thingyverse has various keys and stems for the Commodore keyboard and cartridge cases for the Vic20 and C64.

The plural of advice is advice, not advices. However, advices is more charming.

[@Lambykin]

I don't disagree, but considering English is not one of the easier languages to learn, coupled with the fact that main-stream media in english speaking countries is terrible when it comes to pluralizing words (such as using "peoples" and "supports" in a news segment) & pronouciation, I'd say this host is speaking the language well. In fact, she is speaking English better than some English-only speaking people I know.

[@andrewjones6693]

@@Sayakas_Digital_Attic You did very good! The only advice that I would give and I also hear others give is that when starting with 3-D software, start with simple objects. A game cartridge was a perfect beginning - basically all lines and no fancy curves. Some people try to create a steam railroad locomotive as their first model and get discouraged very fast!
