Apple iBook G3 Clamshell leaf

thingiverse

Have a clamshell iBook G3 with the leaf missing from the Apple logo on the case? You are not alone! This is a very basic model of the leaf. It was modeled after an SVG Apple logo, and the measurements were done from a leaf-less iBook. I am not sure if the original leaf was curved on top, this one is flat. Doesn't look too bad as it's so small. You might need to sand or cut the bottom ends slightly, as the recess appears to taper up towards the ends. I didn't include this into the model, as it was so much faster to print as flat. If tight-fit enough (and the computer doesn't travel that much) no glue needed to hold it in place. Not guaranteed to be a perfect fit, but at least on my case even slightly non-correctly coloured replacement leaf looks better than no leaf at all! At least from the distance. The blueish material in the photo was Octofiiber Mid Blue PLA (2.85mm). If somebody finds a better matching colour, please let us know in the comments!
