How are your CAD skills? If you can design the parts which would need to go together (regardless of size), I don't believe 3D printing services are ridiculously expensive in larger formats so that you could get a prototype done up.

As far as how to market it to manufacturers goes..... no idea at all. :(
 
That is one of my goals with the CNC and one of the reasons I'm going to attach a 10W laser to it. I want to experiment with self designed cases at some point. Metal would be pushing this machine but plastics and woods are more than workable.

One of my winter goals is to redo my external radiators enclosure from scratch as a starting point.
 
Not that I'm into console gaming these days, but $959 for the PS5 Pro, plus $100 disc drive, plus $40 stand... outrageous!

Maybe this will bring more people over to the PC gaming camp. No wonder Sony's been porting all their games too.

CAD skills are nearly non-existent. Finding motivation to do basic things with my life is hard enough, learning something almost totally new, from scratch? Not going to be soon. That's why I dared have a little optimism when I had a contact at a case maker (Raijintek). Does anyone else have such a contact? I don't really care who makes it, I just want it made. I really think the design is unique and bold enough, I just want it to exist for my own sake, aka I wish it existed so I could build a system with it.
 
I finished the last of my baseboard touch up last night in the basement after fixing the leak and replacing the floor. Moved the furniture down there tonight, hooked up my receiver and other goodies to my TV. Sat my butt down to watch the latest episode of Rings of Power, only to have the screen fade to black while the picture garbled. AAAAARGH! Behaving like a capacitor is failing. And because it's a TCL 65S434-CA model, no parts to be found anywhere.

I'm leaving on Tuesday to go to my niece's wedding and have a little vacation, I'll deal with it when I get back.

If it is a cap it shouldn't be too hard to find one I would think.
 
I've spent the last 6 weeks fixing my basement and was looking forward to having my man cave back. I just don't have the desire to take the TV apart right now. Maybe on the weekend. Hopefully I will be able to find the part numbers and be able to find a board that way if there's no obvious swelling capacitor. Because it's a -CA Canadian model, I'm not too hopeful.

If I can't track it down in an hour, I'll buy whatever I can off Amazon with a monthly payment plan. I just want to be able to watch my stuff in peace.

don't you mean a Mac keyboard doesn't like being plugged into a Windows machine? ;)

Well..... if that's the direction we're going to look at this from.... Mac Keyboards really mess with windows 11 to express their displeasure at being plugged into a wintel machine.......
