Nintendo N64 Raspberry Pi Case

thingiverse

Now printable on a 150mmx150mm bed! I wanted a cool looking Raspberry Pi case that celebrated the good times I had playing N64 with my family and friends! This will need support for printing, but not full support. I've used Slic3r and Cura to print this successfully. With Slic3r I was able to produce support only for the vent pieces on the bottom by messing with the "Overhang threshold" option under Print Settings>Support Material. The rest of the bottom I printed as bridges and I just trimmed off the loose strands, much easier. With Cura, I used 10% grid support, but you could probably get away with 5%. If you're printing in PLA have your print fan on 100% during all bridging. Controller and cord ports on the front and back don't require support. Note - Pictures above are from a beta version, you shouldn't have to shred parts of the inside case anymore! Things you'll need: Raspberry Pi 3B 5V 2.5A microUSB charger for the Pi 32GB MicroSD card for Pi 4 USB N64 controllers purchased from your favorite online retailer HDMI cord of appropriate length 30mmx30mmx7mm 5v fan for cooling Couple small screws/standoffs for mounting the Pi USB controllers can be pushed through the controller ports on the front. Will be a tight fit, but mine made it through ok. I widened the port on the back so that the HDMI can halfway sit in the port. Find some small screws that won't protruded from the top the the case and attach so the Pi sits in comfortably. Things to do/improve: Add an embossed N64 logo to the front. Make working Power/Reset buttons. Shave the bottom layer off the N64 stl, the circle pieces on the bottom are just a hair bigger then the rest of the model.
