Grab a screwdriver! Let’s pull some stuff apart!
Controlling a 3D Printer from an Apple II
In what's probably a world first, I wrote a program to control a 3D printer from an Apple II, taped on a texta, and used it to... Forge art?
A Software Forgery: James Bond's Apple IIc From A View To A Kill
There's nothing cooler than a computer in a movie, and A View To A Kill has a particularly cool Apple IIc. Join me as I forge this Faberge bit by bit, byte by byte.
