1984 Macintosh reborn with 3D-printed case, classic Apple logo

Quinn Nelson of Snazzy Labs has created a modern homage to the 1984 Apple Macintosh by designing a fully 3D-printed case that replicates the original beige computer’s iconic silhouette and rainbow Apple logo. Inside the case, a Raspberry Pi 3B+ powers an emulated classic Mac OS displayed on a 10.5-inch IPS screen that maintains the original 3:2 aspect ratio but offers higher resolution and more usable space. The build integrates vintage Apple Desktop Bus peripherals via a BMOW Wombat adapter, allowing authentic keyboards and mice to connect seamlessly, blending retro hardware with modern technology. The project showcases advanced maker techniques, including color-matched filament printing, a custom 3D-printed tray combining rigid and flexible materials to secure the Raspberry Pi, and a separately printed and finely finished rainbow Apple logo. A playful design element is the corkboard base on the underside of the case, adding practical everyday use to the retro-inspired machine. To foster community engagement and
