Description

Retro-Futuristic Mini Arcade Console powered by Raspberry Pi

Boost Me (for free)

Welcome to my latest project! Why just plug a Raspberry Pi into a TV when you can build your very own mini arcade cabinet? I designed this retro-futuristic console to be fully 3D printable, featuring an adjustable stand, an integrated 7-inch touch screen, built-in stereo speakers, and front-facing USB ports for your controllers.

It's strangely simple to build and incredibly fun to use. Just install Batocera, RetroPie, or your favorite emulation system, and you are ready to play!

Printing Guidelines

Material: I printed everything in Matte PLA and had no heat issues, but if you want to be extra safe, PETG or other heat-resistant materials are suitable

Assembly Notes

You will need a soldering iron for two things: pressing the heat-set inserts into the plastic parts and doing some very basic soldering for the audio amplifier module (connecting the 3.5mm jack and the speakers). The rest of the assembly just requires a screwdriver!
