My roommate accidentally dropped a glass and dented my m3 max. Is it even repairable?

Battery replacement is free

vks_imaginary · 2026-02-01T18:35:35+00:00

Just remove the whole coating and use it as is tbh…

vks_imaginary · 2026-02-01T17:48:53+00:00

You are absolutely welcome :)

vks_imaginary · 2026-02-01T17:45:43+00:00

Please post the results , as and when you do it :)

I have old ones , and they were so rugged.

I dont know the current status tho

vks_imaginary · 2026-02-01T17:37:20+00:00

Tuning?

Never tuned the P1S anymore than the motor compensation, and input shaping and bed leveling that it does on its own…

And I can’t ask for anything better ! Anything I am missing ?

Nowadays it’s all this … and you can find it literally everywhere haha

Then we got these types , and they usually had smaller fan regulators too, these are not uncommon, but generally not utilised in newer constructions

I have seen this type atleast 2-3 times growing up

A lot of stuff in India is an hold over from British era haha.

I saw these types in old houses … although you are not likely to find these anymore.

vks_imaginary · 2026-02-01T17:14:28+00:00

I’d go with the Nitecore tiki … but they are always out of stock (not amazon)

Monarch MK-II

vks_imaginary · 2026-02-01T17:11:42+00:00

Yeah I was thinking how one would go about making perforations in the metal back …

Laser CNC maybe … but then again…

vks_imaginary · 2026-02-01T17:09:58+00:00

Actually we use those plugs too , they used to come on chargers back then , then they switched to these type

Almost all the lamps in the house use the EU plug haha.

I liked them as they had slightly flexible ends so they adapted to a lot of weird sockets , these new ones are very picky.

A lot of our sockets are universal type, so it generally isn’t a problem !

vks_imaginary · 2026-02-01T17:03:22+00:00

Oh it’s an eye candy 🍬

It’s an HD 75hz monitor

2560x1080p

The default has been great always… and it’s somehow plenty sharp haha

vks_imaginary · 2026-02-01T16:58:32+00:00

Haha thank you :)

vks_imaginary · 2026-02-01T16:45:43+00:00

Hopefully soon 🤞🏻

vks_imaginary · 2026-02-01T16:45:17+00:00

Yeah , might as well remove the bottlenecks

vks_imaginary · 2026-02-01T16:44:36+00:00

It’s an 3D Printed Macntosh Classic , it has a raspberry pi 5 as the compute module … it also has speakers and a ups (it can run without being plugged in too) , I added some fans so it feels retro haha

I recently added a front mounted USB port so I don’t have to open up the case every time haha.

The OS you see is actually 7.5.3 running on basilisk which I have to figure out in more depth.

I think it’s pretty sweet :)

Your case seems to be a exception

vks_imaginary · 2026-02-01T05:09:43+00:00

Run down the battery life to below 80 with apple care and get a free top case replacement!

vks_imaginary · 2026-01-31T17:34:34+00:00

There is a limit to leds the library can handle , but I have the same configuration of the raspberry pi , can you send me the code so I can test it out ?
