Using Lego instead of a 3D printer for a custom mini arcade build
-
My son and I built an upright arcade using very simple components - a LEGO compatible Raspberry Pi case, an Eyoyo 5 inch HDMI monitor and the bricks we had lying around in our LEGO drawer. The result was pretty good. The mini monitor is 800x480 and even sports a (mono) speaker, so it was quickly up and running.

Very cool! What case did you actually use?? And does it rotate for vertical/horizontal use? (I imagine it's easy to just pop the screen off and rotate it anyway)

Hi. The case we used is called the Pi-Blox, all the other parts are just Lego bricks we had at home. The Eyoyo 5 inch monitor comes with a metal case and we put it into a case made from normal Lego bricks. There is no swivel knob and we did in fact re-attach the monitor in landscape mode later because all the SNES/PSX games work much better then.
