Cyber8Bit – a Retro 3d Printed bartop

Inspired by the designs of Love Hultén´s Originx and the 8BitDo Arcade Stick, this model is the result of me wanting to use my broken screen´s laptop 💥💻 with an unused old monitor 📺to finally have my very own bartop-arcade-gaming-machine🕹️ the CHEAPEST WAY POSSIBLE.

I also went the least invasive route; I designed the cabinet to fit the laptop in its case and printed a “push button” to turn it on instead of hotwiring it; so that I could reuse the parts in the future (or even replace the laptop's screen).

Of course, those were just my options; but you can go whichever way you´ll like with it. I modeled a more hollowed version so you could fit a Raspberry Pi, a Mini ITX or an ATX with small components (inside room is around 330x438x70mm).

I have other ideas if I could get my hands on other accessories; like a black trackball or a flight joystick, so if you have some suggestions, please feel free to let me know!

Designed and fully assembled in the course of 37 days, I went through a million mistakes so you won´t have to 😊 *

Also, I used this color scheme because I already had the materials and wanted a very discreet look, but I would LOVE to see what someone else does with it, like using neon colors, glow in the dark or wood type filaments.

⚠️ WARNING! DOWNLOAD ALL PARTS (41-43 PLATES) FOR THE ENTIRE CABINET⚠️
