Raspberry 3 UMPC 4"

thingiverse

My first attempt at creating a Raspberry Pi UMPC has begun, and I've designed the case to be as compact as possible while still ensuring it's reliably held together with M3 screws. The project also features a stylish cover that protects the touchscreen when not in use. To get started, you'll need the following parts: * A Raspberry 3B or 3B+ * A Waveshare LCD 4" GPIO screen * A printed case * Four M3x30 screws and four nuts to assemble the case * Four M2.5x5 screws to secure the Raspberry in place To print all parts, make sure they're oriented on their flattest surfaces and use supports when necessary - most prints require just a few simple supports that are easy to remove after printing. One crucial note: print the cover vertically, with its shorter edge facing up. This ensures the hinge is durable enough for repeated use. Keep in mind that this project will yield a functional computer, but it's not exactly practical. The screen is impressive, connecting only via GPIO pins, but the SPI connection limits performance to around 5 frames per second - no video or games are possible with this setup. However, console functionality works remarkably well.
