Here is an older video of one of my reprap 3d printers running smoothly on a `Macintosh PowerPC 7100`.

Few notes about this old concept/test project:
- I spent hours trying to optimise my software (re-writes/different languages) to find out the serial port was running slow due to the high resolution i was running.
- The software was written to also work on the older 68k macs and should be compatible with the mac classics (memory was within range)
- The GUI was partially disabled due to me debugging performance

Maybe one day i'll revisit this, clean up and release the code
