FatPiBoy (V2 for RPi A+)

thingiverse

I've updated the parts to include a version for the Raspberry Pi (3)A+. This board is 5mm thinner than a 3B, making it possible to shrink the overall thickness of the build. For the new version to work, print the front_slim file and mount the Kippah to the screen without the screen_mount standoff. Also, inserting the controller is now much easier! I'm honored that htxt.africa wrote about this build in their blog: http://www.htxt.co.za/2017/11/22/fatpiboy-is-a-different-kind-of-raspberry-pi-emulator/ I've seen lots of great RetroPie portables on Thingiverse, but none of them quite matched what I had in mind. I wanted to have a 5 inch display, Raspberry PI 3B, a removable game controller, and a 4500 mAh battery I had laying around from an old Nexus 7 tablet. So, I introduce the FatPiBoy. Please keep in mind that this is my first rather complex design. This is the part list: Raspberry Pi 3B A 4500 mAh Li-Ion of a Nexus 7 Adafruit 5.0" 40-pin 800x480 TFT display without touchscreen Adafruit DPI TFT Kippah Adafruit Mono 2.5W Class D Audio Amplifier Mini Metal Speaker (also from Adafruit) Adafruit PowerBoost 1000 Charger 8bitdo Zero controller The PI is stuck to the back of the display using the screen_mount part and double sided sticky tape. Most of the wiring and components are based on the [PiGGRL 2.0](https://learn.adafruit.com/pigrrl-2). The case can be closed up using 3 M3x16 screws. Original GameBoy for scale :). Known Issues: No access to the USB ports (there is space next to the ports, so one could extend one of the ports to the case) HDMI output is occupied by the TFT Edits: - Nov 18: Added new version of front with a deeper and wider hole for the controller and a small notch to make sure the shoulder buttons don't hit the case.
