Turn it off.


Then disconnect the power cord from the wall.
Clean the machine
Place it in a sealed container with vaccum or inert gas

Optional:  (if you are "done using it")
Post it on eBay as "R@RE"


Partial instructions.  Must include "LQQK!" if "R@RE" or "R@R3" are used.

The 96tpi ones are 800K, and should be treated like any other "Quad Density" 
CP/M disk.





Just for my own curiosity, can a "typical" high-density 5.25" drive 
correctly image a 96tpi disk?


Thanks Fred!

Hello Rob,
FreeCAD is nice for modeling 3D shapes.


Not if you've ever used a commercial product that does the same job. ;)

For 3D printing, depending on the technology of 3D printer, you need to 
process original model to convert compact sections into hollow honeycomb 
structure, and add small plastic bars into empty volumes to support the 
model while it's printed. I'm not expert of this latter procedure and 
tools.


Dictating the infill pattern of a STL file is *never* the job of the 
drawing tool, it's the job of the slicer being used to turn the STL file 
into gcode.
