      Pi Zilla
      With his bigger bro

      Each part is printed and I use brass threaded inserts to build. The joystick is built into the controlls and uses mini micro switches microswitches.

        @leejsmith Nicely done! Is that joystick built completely from scratch using 3d printed parts? I see in the album it originally had a threaded shaft. I like the black bat better. Nice work.

        Is that a a speaker below the screen?

          @leejsmith I agree, very nice build! Also are those yellow buttons 3D printed?

          If you ever decide to make a Pi Zilla v2, maybe have the USBs and network jack accessible from the side :)

            @caver01 yes it's all 3d printed parts apart from the shaft and micro switches.

              @backstander no the buttons are not printed. I do have usb on the back and could change that back part to have lan no problem.

                @leejsmith I just noticed your Album link at the bottom of your pictures! I see the USBs in the back now and that screen is just HDMI! Don't know why I never thought about that because I've heard others have issues with refresh rates using the onboard display interface (DSI) port. Thanks for sharing your mini bartop. I enjoy seeing these well constructed builds! Keep up the good work :)
