For me, 3D printing represents niche custom things that solve problems, sometimes for a few people and sometimes for just one person.
While cleaning the shop I found this old side panel from a Mac… well, a Mac Pro, or a Power Mac. I wasn’t actually sure, but I got some help. (It’s from a Power Mac G5!)
I had wanted to hang this on the wall years ago, so I figured now was the time. I took some quick measurements, spent a few minutes in OpenSCAD, and 25 minutes later had a piece that fit and was suitable for hanging.
I used four 3mm x 14mm bolts, two to hold the bracket in place, and two at the bottom of the panel so it would sit away from the wall a consistent amount.
I honestly don’t know if anyone else will ever use the file, but I figured I would share it anyway. So I did.
You can get the STL and .scad file from Printables.com – Power Mac G5 Side Panel Wall Hanger. Print it if you need it!
