A lid for the Mac mini A1347 2014 I made as an effort to upcycle a small batch of devices from a recycling centre.

This is different from 2012 and 2010 models, despite sharing the same Axxxx model number.

Printing advice in case you decide to use stl instead of prepared 3mf:

  • Orient by letters facing down. It will leave very nice surface finish

  • Use snug supports on build plate only, to ensure the nice finish of the walls

  • Put support blockers on the Mac mini wording (Photo 4). It should (crtm) print fine.

  • Rotate/direct the flow of the infill (or the model itself) so that it goes in parallel with the word directio. Although I couldn't influence it anymore in Orca for some reason?

  • And yes, print with somewhat flexible plastics. PLA and PETG are ok.

  • Once printed, bolt fixers need to be somewhat developed - put the lid on and off before letting it settle. Use some sort of a prying tool with the tape on it to avoid damaging surrounding aluminium.

  • Feel free to stick some furniture pads underneath, why do that tho?
