基礎被動語態

情態副詞

So so many of you guys have been asking me for a new Mac Mini project, and I honestly wasn't sure what to do at first, but then after I got my hands on one, well, some things All right, that was a fun little warm-up project, but let's finally do what we've all been thinking about.

你們中的很多人都要求我做一個新的 Mac Mini 項目，老實說，一開始我也不知道該做什麼，但當我拿到 Mac Mini 後，我發現有些事情很有趣。

程度副詞

So we got to be able to create a portable setup around it, right?

是以，我們必須能夠圍繞它創建一個便攜式裝置，對嗎？

They're carrying these things around with portable monitors and keyboards, and I get it.

他們帶著便攜式顯示器和鍵盤到處跑，我理解。

It's one of the most powerful computers you can get at this size and price tag.

在這種尺寸和價格下，它是功能最強大的電腦之一。

So of course, people are going to try to use it portably.

是以，人們當然會嘗試便攜式使用它。

Here's what I want in the portable setup.

I hated carrying around the keyboard for my other portable builds.

我討厭隨身攜帶其他便攜式設備的鍵盤。

So this time I want to incorporate the Apple Magic Keyboard into the design.

是以，這次我想把蘋果 Magic Keyboard 融入設計中。

Newer ones have a fingerprint reader, but the older models you can get for pretty cheap on the second-hand market.

較新的機型有指紋識別器，但舊機型在二手市場上的價格也很便宜。

Next, I found this cool monitor with VESA mounting points that's almost the same size as the keyboard.

接下來，我發現了這款很酷的顯示器，它帶有 VESA 安裝點，尺寸幾乎與鍵盤相同。

It's definitely on the heavier side as far as monitors go, but I like that it can be used with just one cable from the Mac Mini and its touchscreen.

就顯示器而言，它肯定偏重，但我喜歡它只需一根線纜就能從 Mac Mini 及其觸摸屏上連接使用。

The black enclosure doesn't really fit in with the Apple products though.

不過，黑色外殼與蘋果產品不太協調。

所以，讓我們來解決這個問題。

So these are all the ingredients, and my design will need to hold all of these pieces together somehow.

是以，這些就是所有的要素，而我的設計需要以某種方式將所有這些要素整合在一起。

Well, the monitor and the keyboard are around the same size, so those should be put together.

顯示器和鍵盤的尺寸差不多，所以應該放在一起。

The keyboard's too light and the monitor's too heavy.

Maybe you can prop up the screen with it.

Then the keyboard can just fold upwards to close.

這樣，鍵盤就可以向上摺疊關閉。

Yeah, but now the ports on the back of the Mac Mini aren't accessible.

是的，但現在 Mac Mini 背面的端口無法訪問。

You won't be able to turn it on like this.

And I can just turn it around too, so then the on button is too.

我還可以把它轉過來，這樣開機按鈕也可以了。

This is more ergonomic with the screen higher off the table.

這樣更符合人體工程學，因為螢幕離桌面更高。

True, it won't tip over now, but it's even bulkier.

的確，它現在不會翻倒了，但卻更笨重了。

If only the screen was lighter, then it won't tip over so easily.

如果螢幕輕一點，就不會那麼容易翻倒了。

Wait, we can just make the keyboard heavier.

等等，我們可以讓鍵盤更重一些。

If we weigh it down with the Mac Mini, then the whole thing won't tip over.

如果我們用 Mac Mini 來壓住它，那麼整個東西就不會翻倒。

Since this is gonna be a pretty large design, I needed a larger 3D printer.

由於這將是一個相當大的設計，我需要一臺更大的 3D 打印機。

So luckily, BambooLab's new H2D came at the perfect time.

幸運的是，BambooLab 的新型 H2D 來得正是時候。

This is without a doubt the most advanced 3D printer I have ever owned.

毫無疑問，這是我擁有過的最先進的 3D 打印機。

If you need ventilation during a print, vents automatically open.

如果打印過程中需要通風，通風口會自動打開。

This light shows you the progress of your prints.

But the dual nozzle system is the real star here.

但雙噴嘴系統才是真正的明星。

You can just tell so much engineering went into this thing.

你可以看出，這東西是經過精心設計的。

Now, since my design will require a lot of supports, I'll be trying the dual nozzle system with some dedicated support filament for those large overhangs.

現在，由於我的設計需要大量的支撐，我將嘗試使用雙噴嘴系統，併為這些大懸垂部分配備一些專用的支撐絲。

As expected, the supports were super easy to remove and the surface looks great.

不出所料，支架非常容易拆卸，表面看起來也非常漂亮。

So, now, I don't like how this plastic body sounds against my desk.

所以，現在我不喜歡這個塑膠機身靠在我桌子上的聲音。

So, good thing the H2D is not just a 3D printer.

所以，好在 H2D 不僅僅是一臺 3D 打印機。

And last but not least, always remember to date your work.

最後但並非最不重要的一點是，一定要記住作品的日期。

This thing is truly the best all-in-one DIY tool.

這東西真是最好的多功能 DIY 工具。

So, this is my new portable Mac mini setup.

這就是我全新的便攜式 Mac mini 設置。

This design ensures that everything is properly secured without losing any key features.

這種設計可確保一切都得到妥善保護，同時又不會丟失任何關鍵功能。

The monitor's cable runs securely through the body underneath the keyboard.

顯示器的電纜安全地穿過鍵盤下方的機身。

The Mac mini's exhaust and fan intake are completely unobstructed and so are the ports at the front and back.

Mac mini 的排氣口和風扇進氣口完全暢通無阻，前後的端口也是如此。

Thanks to the Velcro strap, the Mac mini is held securely in place while remaining easily removable.

由於採用了尼龍搭扣帶，Mac mini 被牢牢固定在原處，同時又能輕鬆取下。

It uses an industrial torque hinge to support the monitor and its friction is adjustable.

它使用工業扭矩鉸鏈支撐顯示器，摩擦力可調。

Once dialed in, the screen stays firmly where you set it.

一旦撥號成功，螢幕就會穩穩地停留在您設定的位置。

This monitor has pretty decent resolution and colors, but it's really its aspect ratio that I love.

這款顯示器的分辨率和色彩都相當不錯，但我真正喜歡的是它的寬高比。

The low profile makes it perfect for focus tasks like writing.

其低矮的外形非常適合書寫等專注任務。

I feel like I'm typing on a typewriter when I write my scripts on this thing.

用它寫劇本時，我感覺就像在打字機上打字一樣。

The touchscreen is also surprisingly responsive, but without multi-touch support, it's unfortunately just not very useful.

觸摸屏的反應速度也令人驚訝，但由於不支持多點觸控，它的實用性並不高。

It's not bad for drawing, but the monitor will bounce a bit when you push on it, so this design is definitely not optimized for that.

這對繪圖來說還不錯，但當你按下顯示器時，它會有一些反彈，所以這種設計肯定不是最優的。

I also don't like the way the screen closes against the plastic body of the design.

我也不喜歡螢幕與塑膠機身貼合的設計。

And since I custom painted this monitor's enclosure, it's definitely not a very durable finish, so I don't want the paint to scratch over time as it opens and closes against the body.

此外，由於我為顯示器的外殼定製了油漆，它的表面處理肯定不是很耐用，所以我不希望油漆隨著時間的推移在機身的開合過程中留下劃痕。

So to take advantage of H2D's dual nozzle system, I'm going to try to use it to print a TPU embedded design.

是以，為了利用 H2D 的雙噴嘴系統，我將嘗試用它來打印一個嵌入 TPU 的設計。

I usually don't do this because printing with two filament can really increase print times due to the need for, you know, pooping after every filament switch.

我通常不會這樣做，因為使用兩種燈絲打印會增加打印時間，因為每次燈絲切換後都需要大便。

But with dual nozzles, that's no longer a concern.

但有了雙噴嘴，這就不再是問題了。

These soft pads now allow the screen to close and sit gently against the body.

現在，這些柔軟的襯墊可以讓紗窗閉合，並輕柔地貼在身體上。

And since opening and closing the screen was such a key interaction, it's wild how much more refined and polished the whole design feels just with this subtle improvement.

由於打開和關閉螢幕是非常關鍵的交互操作，是以，僅僅是這一細微的改進，就能讓人感覺整個設計更加精緻和完美。

Now, everyone knows that the Mac mini's built-in speakers are awful, right?

現在，大家都知道 Mac mini 的內置揚聲器很糟糕，對吧？

Well, interestingly enough, this monitor also has built-in speakers, which I was pretty excited about.

有趣的是，這款顯示器還內置了揚聲器，這讓我非常興奮。

But in a shocking twist, these are somehow even worse.

但令人大跌眼鏡的是，這些東西在某種程度上甚至更糟。

I know this isn't technically fully portable because it still requires a wall outlet, but most of the places I work on the go, like coffee shops or whatever, usually have outlets, so I don't really mind.

我知道這在技術上並不是完全便攜的，因為它仍然需要牆上的插座，但我外出工作的大多數地方，比如咖啡店或其他地方，通常都有插座，所以我並不介意。

But while I was designing this, I did get some ideas for how I would make this whole setup battery-powered.

但在設計過程中，我確實想到了如何讓整個裝置由電池供電。

It would definitely be a heavier and bulkier setup, but if you guys are interested, I would love to make a video exploring that concept too.

它肯定會更重、更笨重，但如果你們有興趣，我也想製作一個視頻來探討這個概念。
