Retro Nexus System V1.5

thingiverse

It's a pretty standard setup for your Raspberry Pi. (Tested with Pi 3 and 3 B+) A break from the classic SNES-style cases for retro gaming. Designed to minimize the system's footprint, it still has plenty of room for small heat sinks and a 30mm x 30mm x 8mm fan. The system has lots of vents so heat is blown out through the top and side. The base is tall and hollow, allowing standard Micro USB chargers and HDMI cords to fit. The Nexus comes with a 16GB micro SD card and runs on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+. The OS is Retropie 4.4 or above (Retropie is built on Raspbian Stretch Lite). To run more power-intensive games like PS1, N64, etc., I overclocked the Raspberry Pi to 1500Mhz. You'll need a Bluetooth or USB-connected controller along with a keyboard and mouse to use Retropie. The Case is designed for easy removal of the micro SD card, making it simple to change OS and update quickly. WARNING: Overclocking your Pi can damage it and void any warranty. Do so at your own risk! If you do, active cooling is essential! Because you can easily reprint the Pi Console Case, I simply super glued it together; but if you prefer, the base can be mounted to the case with M2 x 4mm screws. The plate will still need to be glued. UPDATE: The new model can be found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3264270
