3D printer file of an IBM z15

    Hello fellow fans of Z!

    A few weeks ago I 3D printed a little IBM z15, and after some tweaking to the design, Camillo Sassano and the IBM Industrial Design Program provided an STL file that we could release publicly to anyone who wishes to do the same.

    You can now find it over in the Fans of Z Library! IBM z15 model 3D printer file (stl)

    Since this one is slightly different than the one I used, I'd love to hear your experience. I used a 3D printing service, but of course if you have your own 3D printer, you can also give it a try at home.

    This is very nice! Thank you Elizabeth and Camillo and team!​

    If anyone using Ender 3D  can you share the optimal setting to print this in quality? (I just did fast and smaller to see it first)

    Thanks!

    As an update, I also printed a LinuxONE! And I wrote about the process over in my blog: https://princessleia.com/journal/2021/09/i-3d-printed-an-ibm-linuxone/

    Hi Bruno, we have the new z16 now. We are working on getting a 3D file for this new model..... stay tuned for more on that.

    Also interested in the file... Any idea of when it will be available?  I plan on doing a segment at my local HackerLab here in Sac in the next month.  Btw Elizabeth, you are AMAZING.  Well done.

    I found the z16 files, but we still use z15, so this model would look nice on my desk. ;-)

    If the z15 stl file is still available somewhere, or if some one would be willing to share a copy, I would also like to be able to print a z15 since that is the machine we are still running.

    Rick,

    I still have a copy of the z15 .stl file that was posted here. I will attach it to this post.
