RetroPie Case

thingiverse

I have a laser cut case that I currently use my RetroPie in but I wanted something a bit more console like. This is the first version of the case. Inspiration was taken from the original NES console, the OUYA and a little of Pac-Man's Enemies. Holes in the front are for SNES controllers and a button for the reset multi-switch of the PetRockBlog GPIO adaptor (this is to allow for Escape button usage and console shutdown etc). The USB ports are open at the top to let a WiFi adaptor to be used or memory stick to upload new ROMs, or just conventional USB joypads. The underside has a slots for power and the SD card - although I am not sure yet if there is enough room for a standard micro USB plug yet. I plan to use the composite and audio outputs rather than the HDMI as I like the retro look that it provides, both of which will be taken out via RCA connectors. update 24/11/2013 Case has been printed and seems to be okay, new digital files have been uploaded which are print read, along with the SketchUp master file. update 28/11/2013 Case and base all printing and working great. Picture added to the gallery.
