I 3D printed an iMac Case
In this video I attempt to build a 3D Printed iMac Case to be able to take it on a journey across the Atlantic. This adventure consisted of measuring the Imac case with a mechanical Jig and then designing the case in SolidWorks. After heavy refinement, I can 3D print the case in peices, assemble it, and take it as my chegged bag. I focused on a sleek erganomic design, that protects the case while allowing the iMac to still be used, similar to an iphone case.
The 3D printer Im using is an upgraded P1P which I have made a video about.
I also have a video making the desk which I used in this video.

    I would recommend getting a jigsaw, even a handheld one, and getting rid of the cheese grater. Screw on a fan grill to be safe, and you should have much less air restriction and maybe noise.

    Traveling to America indefinitely from the UK whyyyyyyy?! But also I'm not sure if you're aware that a lot of calipers have Data ports you could have collected the data electronically

      That’s a very good point, if I had known I definitely would have gotten a digital output one like the absolute mituoyo. I have a big project coming up that I’m going to do in North America :)

      Never :0 unlike the iMac Its a smaller standard size that can be shipped via postal plane for 100$.

    I know you are just finding excuse to print a case for your iMac. I often do the same with my 3d printer. Since bubble wrap exist, you can just use that.

    • @TimTheEngineer96
      @TimTheEngineer96 День назад

      Yeah any excuse to print something! I’ll let you in on a secret I’ve actually been using bubble wrap for years to transport it back and forth it just gets super tedious!

  • @braixeninfection6312
    @braixeninfection6312 День назад

    I like the edge case design. I would have also gone for a hard cover to then snap over the screen. Giving it space to hover over the screen and extra thick so it hopefully wouldn't crush in. Also steel dowels are totally underrated. So much better than the filament pieces people love to use for hinges etc.

    • @TimTheEngineer96
      @TimTheEngineer96 День назад

      Thanks! I agree with the snap fit I might try to do this in the future! Yes I’m still surprised most people don’t use steel dowels, I think the hobby is maturing still but eventually it will get there!

    Hey. I have a pro tip for you: Save your files on a stick or drive or icloud, go to the US, buy one there, and sell it when you go home. But your print looks awsome!

    • @TimTheEngineer96
      @TimTheEngineer96 4 часа назад

      Shipped it via postal plane! It fits in the largest standard shipping box for 100$. Unlike the IMac which is too wide and would of cost $300+ to ship.

    Okay so I don’t usually comment but seeing like 70 views on this was crazy, honestly such a detailed video and I want to say keep going because you’ll get the appreciation deserve if you perceiver. Had a great time watching, thanks a lot :) Also, if you have any tips on how to improve cad skills then lmk because I’m a student learning design and I’d say I’m like mediocre at best and I want to improve but my teachers focus on more practical aspects rather than cad

    • @TimTheEngineer96

    Have you noticed any decline in print quality, such as surface lines or overhang performance, after switching to harder steel extruder gears?

  • @TeamCykelhold
    @TeamCykelhold 5 дней назад

    Im so happy I went ahead and got the P1S right away. Swapping the extruder and cogs took about 10 mins and I was ready to rock PA. Must say though, having it with LED and seethrough sides is very very cool.

    • @TimTheEngineer96
      @TimTheEngineer96 4 дня назад

      Yes definitely the right decision! I bought my P1P when I didn’t have the budget but the P1S is definitely worth it for the long term :)

    Omg... There is "engineer" in your name and you drill holes like the first human xD. And i did´not want to say anything about your "electric" skills :P Protipp: Put that vacuumed bag of nylon in another airtight container. Ikea Box 10,6l for example. The transparent bags can let some moisture in over the time. This is fine for ABS/PETG and so on. For Nylon better use the silver bags with aluminium coating.

    Nylon is nowhere near from being the "Toughest"..... PEEK is superior in basically...... everything... Let's not even talk about, PEEK-GF or PEEK-CF... "MAINTAINING MODULUS To further illustrate the high temperature capability of PEEK, Figure 5 shows how the flexural moduli (bending stiffness) of nylon 6/6 and PEEK vary as a function of temperature. Nylon, like many common plastics, loses much of its mechanical stiffness once the material is heated to 176 F°. In contrast, PEEK maintains most of its stiffness up to temperatures approaching 300 F°. PEEK's ability to maintain stiffness at elevated temperatures is one of the reasons that it is so often specified for high temperature applications in the aerospace, semiconductor, medical, and food processing industries. The stiffness of PEEK can be greatly increased by adding various fillers and reinforcements including glass or carbon fibers. Figure 6 shows the flexural modulus of unfilled PEEK as well as 30% glass fiber filled PEEK and 30% carbon fiber filled PEEK at various temperatures. As shown on the graph, the addition of glass reinforcement essentially doubles the stiffness of PEEK and the addition of carbon fiber more than quadruples the stiffness of the material. In fact, the room temperature flexural modulus of carbon fiber filled PEEK is 3300 kpsi, one of the highest values of any commercially available thermoplastic."

    PLEASE use PPE for dremeling composites! CF become airborn when sanding. Gloves and facemask. The fibres constantly fall off even the normal filament, and they never go away.
