Retro Game Controller

thingiverse

This is a Retro Style Game Controller Box designed for Raspberry Pi, perfect for smaller 3D printers with build plates under 200cm. It's engineered to be printed without supports and features screw holes for secure fastening of the Raspberry Pi, speaker, and joystick. I created this design for use with the Arcade Bonnet from Adafruit, allowing sound to come directly from the arcade controller, not the display device. This setup also enables the use of 30mm arcade buttons and a genuine joystick, providing an authentic gaming experience. However, the joystick's depth and button height led to a problem - they would short out against the Arcade Bonnet, causing constant reboots. To resolve this issue, I increased the box's height. The speaker mounts are intentionally split between the two main bodies of the controller box, helping to keep them securely together.
