PiPlayer

thingiverse

**Update 24122017** ** Finally got around to uploading the files but word of warning i haven't tested any of the parts yet so please print at your own risk, you have been warned :-)** Raspberry Pi powered retro games emulator, running EmulationStaion. The PiPlayer STL File is NOT for printing it is just a complete model of the unit. The printable files will be made available once i have finished printing them and tried them out for size, i might need to make a few adjustments depending on the final prints. This is my first 3d model as well as my first time doing 3d printing so your patience is appreciated :) This project came about as i just finished building my printer 3 weeks ago and needed something to print, i had a Pi and was looking for ideas when i stumbled across the [PiGrrl](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:382485) and Other designs from [Adafruit](http://adafruit/) as well as the [Pi Boy Portable](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:816476) and [Super Game PiSP](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:667904). After a lot of searching i decided there really wasn't any single design that covered all my needs ( and wants ) so decided to design my own. So what is it i had in mind? * Most Importantly otherwise i couldn't do it, it had to fit on my printer. Only problem is it doesn't :) so the back and front are split into 3 pieces, left grip, right grip and center. This allows me to print on my printer that has a 225mm print bed, if your lucky enough to have a print bed 280mm or over they can be printed as on piece. * 5 inch HDMI screen ( able to use Pi Graphics Hardware acceleration ). * Raspberry Pi 2 as no other design seemed to use one yet. * Enough controls to cover any system. * The use of tactile switches. * large battery capacity 5400mAh lipo. * An easy to access and replace battery. * Soft on/off functionality * Minimal use of screws or at least hidden. * A comfortable design to hold while playing, only a few millimeters thicker than a classic wii controller.. * Accessible USB ports and headphone socket. New additions: * A system indicator and low battery indicator. * Modified supports for Pi and HDMI Display. * Grip and Body Interlocks to make assembly easier. I will keep updating and add to this as i go along :) To The Materials: * <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00TW2KDZE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00TW2KDZE&linkCode=as2&tag=lmcse-21">PowerBoost 500 Charger - Rechargeable 5V Lipo USB Boost @ 500mA+</a><img src="http://ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=lmcse-21&l=as2&o=2&a=B00TW2KDZE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important;
