YouTuber Scott Yu-Jan creates the Macintosh Studio, which is backed by his Bambu Lab P1 3D printer and the 3D-modeling tools. The storage is inspired by the look of the iPad mini and Mac Studio to celebrate the retro devices. Yu-Jan recognized that both of the aforementioned Apple products share the same dimensional width.
From this, he decided to design and print out a 3D base foundation to hold up the Macintosh Studio with the iPad mini at the top secured by a slide-in dock. This unique build allows the tablet to function as a secondary monitor when using the macOS screen mirroring. It also works as a storage drawer for the extra SSD drives.
