Retro Game Controller

thingiverse

This is a 3D printed Retro Style Game Controller Box for the Raspberry Pi. This was designed for smaller 3D printers (less than 200cm build plate) and to be 3D printed without having to use 'supports'. I also designed it so that there wasn't any external fasteners (like a snap together model) other than screw holes to screw in the Raspberry Pi, speaker and joystick. I also designed this for use with the Arcade Bonnet from Adafruit. I did this so I could have sound from the arcade controller and not the display device (T.V., Monitor, LED panels, etc..). Also designed so I could use Arcade style buttons (30mm) and to utilize an actual joystick instead of a small 2 axis thumb type joystick. Some games just need the real thing! Unfortunately the depth of the joystick and the buttons bumped up against the speaker and Raspberry Pi (with the arcade bonnet) forced me to raise the height of the box, so that's why its so tall. The buttons would short out against the arcade bonnet and kept rebooting. The speaker's mounts was purposely split across the two main bodies to help keep the two halves of the controller box together.
