Macintosh Mini Cute 4: 3D printed parts for "Making a Small Mac From a Raspberry Pi", a ~40% scale model to an original Macintosh Classic computer system, now modeled to fit the Raspberry Pi 4! In the USA, Raspberry Pi 4 systems are now readily available at several authorized resellers including Vilros, Chicago Electronics Distributors, Adafruit, and Canakit in 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB RAM variants, all at MSRP.

Model is approx. 5.5" x 4" x 4" (139.7mm x 101.6mm x 101.6mm). Note that this is for the "Small" Mac project which uses the 3.5" screen, not the "Tiny" Mac project which uses a 2.8" screen.

Model front, your choice (pick 1)
Macintosh 128K, 512K, Plus (front_3.5)*
Macintosh SE (front_SE_3.5)*
Macintosh SE/30 (front_SE30_3.5)*
Macintosh Classic/II (front_classic_3.5)*

*For the case material, I use a filament that is beautifully color matched to home computer cases from the late 1980s and early 1990s. Its color is meant to bring happiness to anyone who longs for that lost charm of vintage home computing. This special filament is manufactured and supplied in the USA. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Each front case comes with a "fake disk" model insert in black PLA. Blue tape has also been pre-applied, designed to mimic an inserted floppy disk.
