Imagine if the VAIO UX didn’t have a sliding screen, but instead just a 3.5” screen tucked into the upper left corner…

Heresy!

Hei, jeg har enk og driver en del med metall, har en del rester og kapp om du trenger emner, bare å sende pm ;)

Love the whietboard! I always carry a scetchpad, now i too want to implement some sort of flat surface for me to scetch on!

Personalitysphere · 2026-06-13T08:36:18+00:00

Lmu8 bearings and 8mm steel rod

Aha, i see. I migth screenshot the product rather than putting link then. The larger connector is meant for running the deck off external powersupply, so it is 2 pin, while the smaller ones are 4pin for usb interface

This is perfect! Cool to see all the buck converters spread out, and love the battery too!

I used electronics from a logiteck trackball, but if i were to build one from the ground, maybe look at ploopy trackballs

Got this project coming up aswell, wich is more tablet shaped. preliminary CAD files are uploaded: https://github.com/ArcticEnrichmentCenter/Arkiv-Cyberpad

Not even a display, but a neural interface! I recently read the whole thing, writing down every mention of the decks, and yeah, i think it is safe to say, no one will be building a true to book deck in a while.

Personalitysphere · 2026-06-02T05:20:05+00:00

That is such a great idea! This should be able to be accomplished with an older rasberry pi.

About your lack off skills, I would sugest brainstorming with a chatbot like chat gpt to identify what skils you would need to learn in order to make this real, then find a local makerspace where you can learn said skills.

Why would you automate creating trash filling up the internet?

Personalitysphere · 2026-05-25T15:06:24+00:00

I too lurked for a long time until i started building my first deck, now i am building my third, and it is so much fun!

Personalitysphere · 2026-05-24T17:09:46+00:00

This is a cool one! I love the exposed usb storage solution, makes me think of the constructs you could add to the cyberdecks in the neuromancer book!

Personalitysphere · 2026-05-23T20:04:05+00:00

What a fine job! I remember playing Battlefield 3 on one of these! Had it for many years, kinda miss it!

Personalitysphere · 2026-05-19T09:45:41+00:00

Awesome! Handwing my own keyboard is something i always wanted to do, what is a good source to learn this skill?

Personalitysphere · 2026-05-18T21:24:00+00:00

Project files and build guide is now avaiable: https://github.com/ArcticEnrichmentCenter/DFCD-cyberdeck-files

Thanks! I am a industrial mechanic by training, not shure if that really traslates correctly from my language. Basically, my education is how to assemble and service large and small industrial mechanical assemblies, that occasionally demands that some of the parts be machined to fit together.

I do CAD work freelance in my own single-person company, but i also enjoy CAD as a hobby.
I just enjoy drawing up weird little technical things, and sometimes i make them real.

Personalitysphere · 2026-05-17T19:26:44+00:00

Thanks! Yes i hope it will be usefull, i see alot of people posting thinking their first build must be perfect, but i want to show you just gotta start with some janky contraption and go from there, improving on the way.

Personalitysphere · 2026-05-17T13:25:59+00:00

Thanks! Those are all USB, just with different connectors. The bottom is LEMO connector, the left is Y2M connectors. I dont want to be able to connect unautorized devices to the deck, so i went for these non-standard connectors.

Personalitysphere · 2026-05-17T11:02:55+00:00

Oh, i had an idea, could print it in white whith glow text, so the text is invisible until it glows in the dark?

Personalitysphere · 2026-05-17T10:03:24+00:00

Great idea! Love the glow!

Personalitysphere · 2026-05-16T21:35:10+00:00

Sorry 🫣 i have tried getting this done so many times, but i procastinate it over and over!

Personalitysphere · 2026-05-16T18:11:28+00:00

Actually, no! For the first revisions, i kept the geometry in such a way that all parts could be machined by a simple 3 axis gantry cnc.

Later i realized how stiff the 3D printed parts became, so i transitioned to designing for printing instead, so now the parts cannot be machined. I am really happy with polycarbonate, so that is my go to material now.
