My New "Handheld"-ish Pie Arcade Build..
-
Hey guys!
Almost finished this one today. (wip) still needs my handle and some flair, Im thinking some gold vinyl.A 3B with RetroPie (duh) and AM. 6" hdmi screen. 3.5 jack & 2 usb slots in the back for extra controllers/power etc.

my jaw dropped, this is amazing

@Dipkid Really, really nice. Thanks for sharing. I'd love to see the guts.

@caver01 ill clean it up a bit and ad the last details over the weekend, will try to take some pics. The inside is a warzone right now 😂

@Dipkid Well, it doesn't change the fact that the outside looks great! I really appreciate that you took the plunge with a fold-out screen. I often thought about doing that myself but never felt confident enough. Perhaps I will do the MintyPi at some point and satisfy the urge. Is it just a power and signal cord I see there above the buttons? Also, what is the construction material? Is it a custom box or did you put the parts into an existing enclosure? I can see black acrylic and the metal grommet obviously, but is the black material PVC foam sheets (gator board -stiff foam core) or what? Nice detail recessing the screen bezel a bit so you close around the button panel.

@caver01 yes the cable is for powering the screen, this particular china led dosent support usb, so i had to wing it. I have a powerbank laying here somewhere so i might try to use that, or get another screen sometime. And you're right, Its foamed 20mm pvc. All custom drawn, and cutted w a cnc. (the metal around the hole for the stick is actually those things you put in the corners of big printed banners and backdrops etc) ☺️

@Dipkid nice one! Love the idea of the stick though the lid!
