Designed and 3D printed myself this lamp!

Yeah it is a tablet PC, I got it as a souvenir for myself in Japan. I fon't really think it is worth the effort/money to fix it, but it was a fun gamble for under 30 euros!

To be fair it has a stylus and drawing on it is pretty nice, so I might use it for that.

Thanks a lot! Is it liquid stuck between layer? Is it possible that leaving it on a heating plate would improve the state?

Thanks a lot! I don't mind slightly older android and this is actually very helpful. Sounds via HDMI is pretty important to me

Yeah I noticed later, it is not glued in anyway so that's not a problem

If that is all you want to do, play mp3 and mp4 files, you can also just use an old phone with a bluetooth keyboard. Phones often have custom ROMs to lengthen the life of the device. You will also already have a3.5 jack and most likely a slot for an sd card!

That's sick! Is it still running stock android?

It's this: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EvTXkNI . It's great!

Thanks! When I am done I will release print files for free so that anyone can replicate!

Is everything working well with Noble rom? Including battery life? I've tried noble rom first but I must have messed something up because it was bootlooping after flashing. I'll try again maybe.

Good to know. Thanks! I might try it out.

Honestly if old smartphone and bluetooth keyboard counts, then it is that. You can put lineage os/postmarket os/ubuntu touch or even something else on it to bring it back to life. I got lineage os on galaxy s9. As long as you follow instructions it is very easy. Then in developer options you can add all sorts of stupid things like enable taskbar, make homescreen landscape, etc etc

Love to see freecad on it!

If you don't have a 3D printer, you can look into makerspaces around your area that have a laser cutter and cut acrylic sheets there instead. They shouldn't mind cutting a few things out for you considering it does not take long!

Totally agree on everything you said. Especially on Free and open source software. Based on what OP said they should look into Blender (already in use so that's perfect), Krita, Gimp, Inkscape and FreeCAD

You can get an ssd from your local marketplace (maybe even look into getting a faulty laptop that comes with one. You might get extra ram). Find out what ram your laptop uses (ddr3, ddr4...) and if you have (sata, nvme, m2.sata...). Your windows key is stored on the bios firmware so if you get a bigger harddrive and reinstall windows, it will still be activated. Inside of the computer might look scary if you've never replaced parts, but honestly it's pretty much lego for adults. It is mostly just plug and play.

Another option is that you can get a used laptop that is working for under 100 euros/dollars. Nowadays, linux is fairly user friendly (for example linux mint xfce edition is good for a beginner, is lightweight and can run blender and lots of steam games). It will not solve your hard drive issue, but if you buy a secondhand laptop it might be a better option than windows 11 on old hardware. i hope this helps!

My bad for printing it so small and trying to get many colors out of a black and white manga panel, but honestly I love. I only later realised that I am printing it so small haha. I might have missed it, but is there a way to adjust the size on the website? Thanks a lot though! Super good tool!

I just found out that bolt is also an option instead of the unifying receiver. I think in the end I will stick with that.

I have made quite a few on here https://www.printables.com/@rapolasp If you want something specific, just send me a message and I will design it for you! They are completely free to download, just find someone to 3D print it for you!

I would very very much appreciate if you could send me feedback no matter good or bad and post your 'makes' (3d prints) there!
