[NewOldStock]

Apple works hard to be environmental friendly and this shows up.

Enough plastics in the water now.

How did you test it out in-store?

3D printing has little to nothing to do with plastic particles in the water and environment in general.

@OP: Great job!

love it,
If I may make a suggestion you should make a removable drawer dust collector / air filter that slides in and out for cleaning in front of the fan.

I don’t know much about 3D printing. Could your model also be used to make a metal printed enclosure?

3d printers being able to print metal are uncommon / unaffordable in the consumer and also in the prosumer sector. Carbon-fiber-reinforced materials are possible and other, very resilient materials. But not true metal.

This is amazing. Great work. I especially love the wheels.

I’d guess the number of iMacs discarded that can no longer be reused since environmental Apple discontinued target display mode will far outnumber these little things.

My 2014 27" iMac Retina is still the best screen I own, so the lack of Target Display Mode is a real shame.

If I do get a Mac Mini (in 2 minds ATM) I'll print this for sure 😉
