And it totally makes sense being an alternative for a floppy drive. I think it looks nice but I think a miniature version doesn't make any sense.

_The Doctor__ Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I gives a very clear indication of what the gizmo will do and what it's for... You intuitively know it. a whole new case that looks like something else... no clue... without anything written on it explaining what it is and does... Mystery Box... A cool new case with some hints could be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StickJock Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I've got one of his miniature 1050 cases. I, too, think it's cool, but i also think that the disk engage lever should be in the closed, not open, position. How can I be reading & writing to the "disk" with the drive open? ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamnedOne Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I was wondering what happened to the SDrive-Max case STLs that were hosted on Thingiverse? These all seem to have vanished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 odd that they would disappear from thingverse as well... does thing verse not store them but rather link back to a persons own repository? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, would make sense to print one up myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I'd be wondering why the derivative wasn't released? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I am confused, someone took and copied the stl files and were selling them for money, so how does taking down the free stl files and forcing folks to buy them from the culprits that did wrong at all help anyone other than the culprits that were behaving badly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Childish behavior if you ask me. Imagine if I did the same thing and removed all my files from my AtariBits website just because someone was selling and making a tiny bit of money off my designs. Wait a minute that's already happened and someone IS selling products based on my designs Oh yeah I almost forgot, I gave my permission to do that very thing, and promote that idea for anyone that wishes to do the same Bottom line if you don't want someone to sell your stuff, then don't allow people to download your work in the first place. Common sense folks. Edited December 30, 2022 by mytek I took out some colorful words that weren't necessary 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I think it would rather depend on the license under which the STL files were originally released and whether there was a rider encouraging the consumer to have at it and sell the printed parts. I will assume from the fact the author took the designs down that there was no such rider and that this is not what he had in mind, and a 'nonfree' license is thereby implied. Presumably, following the logic of 'if you don't want someone to sell your stuff, then don't allow people to download your work', the fact the U1MB JED file is freely available to users wishing to recover bricked hardware or upgrade their devices, and the fact this enabled the cloning of the U1MB hardware by people lacking the skill or talent to write their own CPLD code (since without the JED, the U1MB is an ornament), means Candle and Lotharek need to take a hard 'L'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so, although I gotta say it would likely not be very profitable for others to try to jump in and undersell Lotharek, and it certainly isn't a DIY level project for most. Whereas 3D printers are very prolific and in the hands of soooo many people now days, only requiring the easily shared STL files. And because of that proliferation of users with 3D printers, there's bound to be at least a few individuals that'll try to re-sell the design -- this is human nature. So no matter what stipulations/conditions that are placed on the download by the author, it will ultimately get disseminated in ways beyond one's control. If the creator doesn't want that to happen, then this takes us full circle back to what I stated about not providing it as a freely accessible download in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Yes - I suppose we could blame the manufacturers of cheap 3D printers as well for making the means of duplication so easily accessible to people who haplessly find themselves selling other people's work because they're human beings. Happy New Year, anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
