Mini Arcade Machine by iClint

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is no longer a work in progress!!! I have printed and assembled my one and everything is perfect
This is a mini or bar-top Arcade cabinet designed to house a Raspberry Pi 2/3, i-Pac Keyboard emulator, and 7" LED Display along with 8 buttons and a Joystick. The i-Pac module allows for shifting buttons giving you up to 20 button inputs more than enough to control all functions of RetroPIE for which I have based the design around.
You will need a medium to largish printer I have designed this to be printed on a Prusa i3 mk2 210x250 bed size
no supports are required with the exception of the Control panel which will benefit from supports (optional).
Some electronics and soldering skills may be required.
Shop around you will be able to get these parts from all over the web local to you I have provided links only as a general guide
