Discussions on vintage and retrocomputing
Just knowing you can actually fix something so completely destroyed is reassuring. Time was not kind to the plastics of a lot of 70s and 80s tech pieces, especially depending on how and where they were stored.
I'm worried I'm going to pick up one of my computers one day and the whole thing will just crumble. So knowing that this is even possible is wonderful.
On THAT note, I should probably look into 3D or resin printing.
I watched the video of him designing the replacement. The labor put in to the design work and prototyping was easily multiple thousands of dollars. Not super practical for most people. I've been 3D printing for years and can design and print things for myself but the level of expertise that when into this case is another level. It would have taken me multiple years to get to a similar point.
