Altair 8800 Raspberry Pi 3 case

thingiverse

The Altair 8800 was an incredibly influential computer, and now you can own one, thanks to a Raspberry Pi case that's a dead ringer for the original. You can simply print this out and have a basic case, or add LEDs to the GPIO pins to create a super-realistic simulation of the old brick. You can see the LED mod in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVSjjSe1DNU This Raspberry Pi case fits either the Pi 3 or 4 perfectly. Too lazy to print your own? Buy one from our store - http://store.rabbitengineering.com PARTS NEEDED: - 4 x M2.5x18mm screws and M2.5 nuts that go with them - 3 x #6 x 1/2 inch screws - 4 x 1/4" little rubber feet, because the screws at the bottom of the case require these to sit right - Some double-sided tape to stick the face sticker to the face part - Super glue or hot glue Optionally, you can add up to 12 5mm LEDs; you'll also need a 330 ohm resistor for each LED. These can be connected to the GPIO pins to simulate the lights on the Altair's face. TOOLS NEEDED: - A 3D printer (obviously) - A 2d color printer to print out the face sticker - A #6 tap to tap out the screw holes - Large and small Phillips head screwdrivers for your screws There is a PDF file that shows you how to use the case, but before you start following the manual, there are a couple of things you need to do.
