New Release: Floppy Emu ][ Case Assembly Guide!

[@jamesross3939]

Wow ... got to respect anyone who can design cool stuff w/ a 3D printer! Nice!

[@ARCJavMaster]

Thank you very much, spent months developing it.

[@michaelmendelsohn]

Came out absolutely stunning! This is going to make a lot of people happy.

[@georgesenda1952]

Put a proper link in the description please and give an option to buy a fully assembled Florry Emu also. Next year if available I will buy one. I am paying off all my debt first.

[@Veeb0rg]

Oh Finally something to do with the box of empty external apple drive cases I have!

[@dh2032]

I was thing the same If making, the front cover why stop there? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@Veeb0rg]

@@dh2032 oh. I actually have a box of empty drive cases..

[@JDW-]

Truly fantastic, Javier. Excellent work!

[@WelcomeToMarkintosh]

I want one--NOW!!! That is SO cool, Javmaster! I like how you’ve made assembly so user friendly!

[@ardentdrops]

In future videos consider making it clear that such products are to be used for re-using otherwise discarded parts. 👍 Without this context people may assume the opposite: that you are tearing apart perfectly useable (and finite) vintage electronics merely for aesthetic enhancements to modern projects. I see that a lot of people are confused in the comments here.

[@ARCJavMaster]

Thanks for the suggestion, and yes, no drives were harmed doing the conversions, they were converted to clear drives!!

[@polymatt]

Love the full custom faceplate! Solid work 🤘

[@FranksRetroLab]

Looks very nice!! Wish I was that talented to be able to create things like this.

[@EverythingIsBrokenGarage]

Great Job Javier! I need to order one now haha.

[@cyul]

My heart goes out to all those Disk II drives that will die and be dismantled so that people can build these… Why stop at an insert for a drive and not 3D print the whole drive enclosure?

[@junker15]

at least I have an EMPTY disk][ enclosure for one of these (it had a pretty beat-up mechanism from ebay, so it's got a PC floppy hooked up to a greaseweazle currently) so no actual disk][s will be harmed in the making of one here!

[@MacintoshLibrarian]

this is amazing !

[@Tsaukpaetra]

11:40 could there be a better cable than one you have to bend to make work? 🤔

[@JoesComputerMuseum]

AWESOME!

[@dave928]

are you 3D printing the cases too so real Disk ]['s won't have to die? either way, this is pretty sweet.

[@ARCJavMaster]

I am printing some bases, and using metal case from converted drives or bad drives with damaged cases, which I refurbish and repaint,

[@-someone-.]

Excellent stuff Jav! Is the IIc version video coming? 👋🙏

[@DavidStahlOLDHAPPyMACs]

I want the full deal Javier all the options

[@chlordk]

I thought the micro SD card connector had a card detect switch so it is not necessary to press a reset button to signal the card is loaded, or unloaded?

[@hankeisenstein272]

I got all the parts, and I have the empty Disk II case. How do I get the case assembled once I have the EMU in the housing?

[@TEBLify]

Looks great! Does this work on the floppy emu with the old monochrome screen, or is that too ancient?

[@ARCJavMaster]

Unfortunately, no, it's for the new version C.

[@TEBLify]

​@@ARCJavMasterOof... Thanks for the reply - looks like I'll have to put a new one on a wishlist 😅

[@fu1r4]

That subscribe click sound is very annoying when using headphones 🥺

[@ARCJavMaster]

I'll try to remove the sound, thanks for the heads up!

[@Sidora]

I think you've swapped the "SELECT" and "RESET" icons by mistake.

[@fu1r4]

I'm pretty sure that people will break that. It is way too complex to assemble for a regular user. Too much be careful here and be careful there. The extension cable for the screen you should find a better solution for. It is way too unreliable.

[@localixdots9698]

У этого дисплея очень низкий ресурс при постоянном отображении.

[@nyccollin]

Why destroy a perfectly good Disk Drive?

[@ARCJavMaster]

No good drives were destroyed, cases from conversions to clear cases were used. You can sleep well, my friend!

[@joseluisarenasperez3855]

🎉🎉🎉❤ excellent 🦾👍👍 great job there, Javier congratulations
