RetroPie Case

I sought an enclosure that would give my RetroPie a unique, console-like appearance. I drew inspiration from the OUYA, the NES, and one of PacMan's ghosts. The case consists of two parts: the main body and a base. The RaspberryPi is positioned vertically on the base with its SD card and power ports facing downward. There is sufficient space beneath the case for an SD card to protrude, but it requires a right-angle adapter to accommodate the USB power connection. I utilized the RetroPie GPIO adapter to interface with the SNES connectors and the multifunction front button. On the rear, I broke out the composite video and audio signals to RCA sockets for connection to a television rather than HDMI. Both USB ports are accessible from the top of the case. This print was quite large and took approximately 11 hours to complete.
