Chewlix Arcade Cabinet Raspberry Pi Holder

thingiverse

A simple drop-in Raspberry Pi holder for the Chewlix arcade cabinets. These cabinets are the Chinese made Taito Viewlix Clones. This was designed around running PiForceTools for netboot of Naomi systems, so it's possible to access the Pi with a LCD/Button hat on it without opening the cabinet. The Pi holder was designed around having a case on the Pi with the LCD hat external. There are pass through holes for USB, Ethernet, HDMI, Audio and Power. It is possible to place the original cover over top of the holder, hiding the Pi. My idea is to add magnets to it, but I have not done this yet. My design is held in by gravity, and removing the control panel and placing it vertical would dump the contents out. It could be modified to snap fit or screw in. The design is slightly small on the left and right, but not enough that I was concerned enough to change and reprint.
