The Mac Mini is the most popular input device. economic to the Apple computer range, a small square format computer that Apple had completely forgotten between 2012 and 2018. Last week, the Cupertino-based company renewed the entire range of Macs, from the Mac Mini to the MacBookPro and passing through iMac.
The renewal of the Mac range introduces the new M4 processor with ARM Architecture from Apple, maintaining the same design except in the Mac Mini, a model now larger than previous versions and which has also changed the position of the button to turn on the device, moving it downwards. Between the connectors for charging the mouse at the bottom and the button for turning on the computer, also at the bottom, it seems that Apple has a strange fixation.
If you were waiting for the renewal of the Mac Mini range and you don’t really like this new design, you don’t have to give up on your needs, because with a 3D printer you can completely change its design and transform it into a Mac Pronot the trash can-shaped model, but the model that currently sells from 8,300 dollars.
Transform your Mac Mini M4 into a Mac Mini Pro
We cannot deny that the 3D printers There was a before and an after. Thanks to these devices we can create whatever we want, and they are widely used by users who want to get the most out of a device. Raspberry Pi
The latest example of its endless possibilities is found by 3D printing enthusiast Jerrod Hofferth, who created a case for the new Mac Mini equipped with the M4 processor. Jerrod named this project as Mac Mini Prosince it is based on the current Mac Pro, although it claims to have been inspired by one PowerMac G5 that Steve Jobs used in his house.
As we can see in the pictures, both the back and the front are accessible. Moreover, it took advantage of the power button located at the bottom to be easy to press without having to lift the device.
As with most 3D designs, this case is made in different pieces that need to be glued together. Additionally, it is designed in such a way that instead of using fixed supports, a set of four wheelsan option also available on the Apple Mac Pro as an extra for which you have to pay 500 dollars more.
Best of all, as we mentioned above, if you own a 3D printer and want to buy the new Mac Mini with the M4 chip, you can download and print them yourself, as they are available here on the Maker World website.
According to its creator, we are awaiting receipt of this new model which has just been put on sale to refine the measurements, so we should wait a few days for him to publish the final plans which fit him like a glove.
