yet another raspberry pi based console case

thingiverse

my favorite style case for raspberry-pi based console featuring: rpi itself (RPi 2 is used in particular) 3.5 inch SPI screen from adafruit 2 analog joysticks connected via atmega32u4 2 12mm action/fire buttons 4 6mm utility buttons 2 buzzers custom made amplifier some tips: the buttons and joysticks are obtained from ebay (the joysticks are those look much like from dualshock 2) the amplifier can be made based on very commonly found single chip LF amps. without amp the RPi cannot drive speakers at all. amp is designed to be mounted vertically on the part number 3, which in turn to be put between the screen and the RPi on the right side the easiest way to connect buttons and joysticks is teensy2 board. we've used general purpose atmega32u4 though, so got to write custom software. it's easy to do based on examples from Arduino Studio. we've mounted atmega on the part number 4 attached on top of RPi beneath the screen printed with PLA but even there got some problems with the corners. some modifications might be required to reduce the tension on the corners when just printed layers get cooled split part number 1 into multiple pieces (e.g. "Split Object" button in Repetier-Host) in order to properly position the upper part of the case and the buttons. note that buttons are specifically made of 2 pieces each to achieve better print quality. use of 0.2 nozzle is recommended when printing buttons I'm attaching the .scad file just if anybody wants to customize it. the upper/lower parts are switched by supplying 1 or 2 into console() module at the bottom of the file. the rest of pieces are just commented with '*' Print Settings Printer: Prusa i3 clone Hesine mb505 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: does not matter. used 0.2 layer with 0.3 nozzle Infill: does not matter
