Retro Nexus System V2.25

thingiverse

The RNS V2.25 is powered by a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ overclocked to 1500Mhz with at 5v cooling fan, along with a 32GB Micro SD for storage (Anything from 8GB or more for storage will work as well) WARNING: OVERCLOCKING YOUR PI CAN DESTROY IT AND VOID ANY WARRANTY, DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK! IF YOU DO, ACTIVE COOLING IS A MUST! The OS is Retropie 4.4. (Retropie is built upon Raspian Stretch Lite) This design is much simpler than the previous model, with better heat ventilation and much shorter printing times. The large front vents across the top were an inspiration from the Atari 2600 with it's horizontal ribs across the top. Changes from the previous design include: The heat ventilation locations have changed, along with them being elongated and widened. The console's base stand has been removed due to the previous model tipping over easily. Now the PCB mounting plate is also the base. Without the previous base stand, the HDMI and power supply are easier to plug in. You will need a Bluetooth or USB connected controller, along with a Keyboard and Mouse to use Retropie. (As of December 2018, Retropie has an experimental package to stream Steam games like the Steam Link) For the previous model: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3005202 UPDATE: V2.25 is out! (A lil early I admit) To allow for cooling for the underside of the board, circular vents have been added where most of the heating will take place. With the addition of adhesive rubber feet there should be enough room underneath to allow cool air to enter through the vents. (Thanks for the inspiration Big-E :D )
