Sure that works for me. Yes I agree it would be great to virtually disassemble the computers. My end game is to have detailed instructions on how to disassemble the computers. Since it will take me a bit of time to finish the inside models, for the time being I thought it would be good to get these out for people to enjoy. I am also working on the Apple III. Unlike the others, I don’t have an Apple III so it’s taking me a bit of time finding specific angles of the Apple III for modeling.

Here is a work in progress of an original Macintosh that can be disassembled to show internal components.

Oh that’s so cool! Really like this. Do you model all the individual parts?

I am glad you like it! Yes I model all the different components. I decided to go with a more cartoon look instead of a more realistic style. I can always go back later and update them. I felt that the more cartoon styling fit in more with some of the other jigs. I am really happy how the Mac is turning out! I found a few errors that I’ll be working on ironing out. I cannot wait to start working on the Lisa as that’s my main area of focus. I am a huge Lisa enthusiast.

Here’s a rough draft of the Lisa 2. There are so many components of this model!

Wow that’s awesome! How long did it take you to make this one?

Thanks! I have been working on this model for about a week now. That being said I didn’t really buckle down on it until a few nights ago. Now that I have it working, I am going to start populating the boards with chips. It’s going to be killer!

I’m also working on a full sized AR Steve Jobs. It’s extremely rough right now but it does show the direction I’m going in. My thought on it was it would be cool if people could the AR model to take a photo with Steve Jobs. I am also working on animating Steve so you can put him in different positions. It opens the idea in my head for creating other historical figures. How killer would it be for a teacher to place a historical figure in the classroom. Such as having Lincoln appear in the classroom to give the Gettysburg Address. Now that may be beyond my abilities but it is really fun to think!

It’s really cool to see the amount of work you’ve put in, definitely shows in the Jig. Looking forward to the end result!!

Full sized Steve?? Nice! What inspired you to do that Jig? I think you are spot on with the historical figures, we threw around a few ideas about that, but you’ve gone a step further and come up with the idea of taking pictures with them. Very cool. I’m sure we can work together to make some of these other historical figures a reality :wink:

Thanks! I had the idea when I saw an advertisement for a wax figure museum. I thought it would be a great use case of the technology to have a virtual museum of these historical figures. Then I had the idea of taking them a step further and have them come to life. I’m game to help out as much as I can.

Hi, I’m sure you have noticed a “slight” overflow of floating labels when viewing your Jigs in the JigSpace app :grin:
This bug has now been fixed and if you update your app everything should look similar to what you built in Jig Workshop. :+1:

Yes, thank you! I read that fix in the release notes. I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong! I am glad everything is working as it should.

I am incredibly excited to say that my Lisa 2 Jig is finished! It now includes a full breakdown of the computer with detailed boards with steps that point out significant chips. There are 52 steps in this Jig! I will be working on modifying it for the Lisa 1 over the next few days.

It took me less time that’s I thought. My Apple Lisa 1 Jig is now complete! While the Lisa 1 Jig is identical to the Lisa 2 Jig, it has all the details that make it unique. With a whopping 56 steps it is a massive project.

With my Lisa 1 and Lisa 2 Jigs complete I have deleted the other Lisa Jigs I created as they are now outdated.

Wow that is awesome!! Heaps of detail! It looks really cool. How would you like people to use your Jigs? As a guide for pulling them apart, or a general 3D Wikipedia of the computer?

Impressive work, keep it up!

Thanks! My intended purpose for these are:

• Allow users to place a virtual computer in AR
• Provide a rough illustration on how to disassemble the computer
• Educate people on what these computers are and what their primary components are
• General encyclopedia entry

One of my goals was to allow people to easily see how the computers are disassembled and what their primary components are. As a technician on these older systems I wanted to make sure that these virtual computers were disassembled properly in the models. I’m hopping to produce many more of these vintage computing Jigs in the near future. I have some fun things in the works that I think y’all will enjoy.

For fun I found a free model of the 2007 movie Optimus Prime and I imported it into Jig Workshop, scaled it up to scale, and put a basic color scheme on it. It’s fun to see him to scale in AR.

A few years ago when ARKit was new I aggregated a bunch of 3D models and created four AR Museum apps on the App Store. I have since pulled my 30 apps from the App Store for personal reasons but I am hoping to migrate all those models into Jigs. I had an AR Car Museum, Computer Museum, Train Museum, and Airplane Museum. Users could place one of these vehicles to scale in AR space. It was so cool to be able to walk around a Model T vehicle. They unfortunately never took off. I think that’s why I like your service so much because it builds off what I was trying to do, have a museum in my pocket. The train models were MASSIVE. When testing my software I had to go find an open field so I could place them to scale. As a huge train fan I loved being able to walk around a full scale train model and see all the small details.

Here’s a model I’ve been working on of the 1903 Wright Flyer airplane. I have scaled it up to actual size!

I like that you’re rebuilding your museum, it sounds like a big but satisfying undertaking. I’m glad you’re doing it with JigSpace! We’ll be releasing our “Spaces” feature in a coming update, which is basically your own dedicated Jig library that others can access. Kind of like a channel on YouTube. It’ll mean you can create and host your entire museum there, and people can come visit. Thoughts?

The Wright Flyer is very cool. We considered making a Jig about that several years ago, you’ve beaten us to the punch!

I look forward to your Spaces service. It’ll be great to see a vast community catalog of Jigs!
