3D printed emblem to cover up the illuminated Apple logo on my old MacBook (lemmy.world)

I made this Linux Mint logo emblem to cover up the Apple logo on my old MacBook that now runs Linux. I am not sure if it will cover the logo of all MacBooks but i am sure that it can be scaled to needs.

I used Prusa Slicer, to slice it, and it automatically offered the option of a color change. I used a translucent red for the lower part and a dark grey for the top. You may want to experiment a bit with the types and infills to get the appropriate effect. I used very fine layer hight as well as ironing to get a smoother surface.

Then simply glued it on top of the illuminated logo

Available for free on Thingiverse and Printables

PS: Many failed attempts went into take this fairly bad picture - i apologize but the dogs were too comfortable

Hey, how has your experience running mint on Mac been? Hows your battery life?

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I can't really tell. It's an old PC that I got second hand and I have never used it as a Mac.

It seems to work ok as it is though. I mostly use it for browsing and battery life seems to be ok, it's age considering

They are free so it would all be the same for me 😂

I’ve stuck Mint on two Apple machines (which I affectionately call my iMint and Mintbook, respectively). Ive been thinking about making a little green Mint logo for the laptop to either stick onto the bitten off part of the Apple logo, or just on the middle (to indicate “Mint inside”). But I also really like yours!
