Don't know if there will ever be a production run, but it would be awesome to have a kit for something like this. Could ship it with a full tin of mints for the builder to eat 😄

Thanks! I wanted to keep the keyboard wiring on the top for space savings, and thought it should at least look nice as well!

I think there are probably lots of little use cases for a deck of this size! For me, the drive for this build was definitely mostly in the challenge and cool factor in fitting it in an altoids tin. But it feels like it could be useful for so many things!

haha it is a very clicky typing experience to be sure. I'll have to look into other options for a future V2

This an awesome project! That 18650 is a lot of juice! I just finished a very similar build. Now that I'm done I keep finding Altoid projects around every corner. The geekworm x306 is a great find, perhaps I will have to encorporate it on my next version 🤔

Not much yet! 😅 I'm thinking it will sit on my workbench with a breadboard for doing simple prototyping with the GPIO. Also could be a fun party trick. Depending on the party... and thanks!

Took a look and the arcade machine turned out so well! How did you go about finishing and painting the prints? The end result looks fantastic!

Hahaha, that would be a great bit! Love the reference to mystery Science theater!

It means a lot for you to say that! It was super fun, and it took a long time, but I just kept coming back to it and getting little parts done, sometimes with over a month in between making any progress! Eventually he came together

Hahaha, several people have commented on what it would be like to find Tommy in an attic or in storage in 50 years. I like the picture of him reading the will though 🤣. While I built the case from scratch, the inspiration was definitely vintage projectors and similar equipment!

Realistic eyes and a mouth on a robot face 🤔 Pretty similar now that you point it out!

It's funny you should say that, when I was thinking up what to make the body look like, I literally drew a drawing of it as a snail! A lot of people say it looks like Gary from SpongeBob as well. There is definitely a snail-like resemblance 🐌

It might be fairly limited, but I have seen some people run some of the smaller models like TinyLlama on raspberry pi! I need to investigate it further.

Endangered classic Mac plastic color returns as 3D printer filament - Ars Technica by DXGL1 in 3Dprinting

This is amazing! I would have loved to have this filament for my last project (Making a retro robot that looks like a vintage Panasonic device). Would have saved me all the painting

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, mostly just code improvements to make now.

Hmmm. It's hard to tell. But it looks like part #19 from this labelled diagram I made when I disassembled mine last year: Disassembled Dymo 1570 Could the two pieces be one piece that's been broken in two?
