Nice videos about USB-C receptacles replacement that might fit old mini-USB and sometimes micro-USB ones.
Before applying, check out the tables in USB hardware: Compatibilities – Wikipedia and the table I copied from USB hardware: connector dimensions – Wikipedia to ensure there is enough space to fit the USB-C receptacle in:

Nice idea: [Wayback/Archive] 3D Printing Everyday for 365 Days 282/365 #stem #3dprinting #3dprint #ideas – YouTube
It mentions DuPont wire connectors which is colloquial for a common form of jump wires: the ones that can connect to breadboards, or male or female pin headers. Basically a so called “DuPont wire” is an electric wire with a pin header (either male or female) on each end leading to 3 kinds (not counting ones having multiple connectors on each wire) as male – female is the same as male – female:
- female – female
- female – male
- male – male
Being able to group the connector end of multiple jump wires in one enclosing connector for quick opening and closing is a great idea.
Hopefully the 3D printing files will be released somewhere.
One of the comments is also inspiration for a future 3D printing project:

The algorithm got me to the first video of this list: [Wayback/Archive] pierogi engineering – YouTube – search – hard drive
It’s similar to a longer second video that also does balancing using the gyroscopic effect of the moving platters.
Nice!

What you carry around in a tool bag is always very personal.
What other people carry around is a great learning opportunity, especially when they have put in self-made or self-assembled tools.
So thanks Clive for releasing this very personal video: [Wayback/Archive] Big Clive: Lighting tech tool bag tour 2025 – YouTube

This is for earliest compact Apple Macintosh systems predating the introduction ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) on Macintosh SE and Apple Macintosh II (and Apple IIgs which technically is not a Macintosh):
[Wayback/Archive] GitHub – trekawek/mac-plus-ps2: Arduino project that allows to connect a PS2 keyboard to Macintosh Plus
Before continuing to an even more impressive keyboard and mouse interfacing project below (basically many kinds of modern keyboard, mice and gamepads to many retro computers) that I found thanks to doing some more research after finding the above one, lets summarise where the above one is still useful for:
