PiTop Raspberry Pi Laptop

PiTop is my version of the creation https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3410107, by Ian Dunn (mountainmanmachinest) https://www.thingiverse.com/mountainmanmachinest/designs (Many thanks to you for your time and effort!). I created the PiTop to be a low powered OctoPrint & Retropie system that I could easily move between my work and home to observe 3D printing jobs remotely without fear, and occasionally play an emulated game. Several of the parts for the existing design were either unavailable or I found better options to fit my needs. To accommodate the component changes, I increased the base size and removed the keyboard tray. I modified the access ports, added air circulation vents and a fan. Below is a list of purchased components with links. HD 7inch 1024 x 600 Touch Screen (Comes with case, which you won’t need, but the price is right) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S74MP36/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Flat USB cable (used to power screen and touch input) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077RKFXJT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 40pin Female to Female Cable (used to connect UPS Battery and Pi so they don’t have to be stacked) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077X7MKHN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 MicroSD Extender (needed to extend the port to the case exterior) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WWVBK8V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Headphone Jack Extension (needed to extend the port to the case exterior) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JMTZZRY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Mini USB Fan (adequate to cool case internals, but need to shorten USB cable by splicing the two wires) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZJ47Z2J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 HDMI Flat Cable (used to connect screen to pi) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MYSL7KM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 UPS Battery Power – Includes On-Off Switch (provides 4-6 hours battery life, batteries not included) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08G1WRX6C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Batteries 18650 (2) (set of two needed for UPS above) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09QBZKLZV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 USB Hub – (Need to remove case, will have to cut to remove, hot glue reenforce cable connection) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6MF654/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Mini Keyboard Wireless USB Dongle (Optional – but, works really nice with setup) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I5SW8MC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 OctoPrint USB Webcam (Optional if using for 3D Printer setup) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GWP2SGV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
