Does anybody know where I can find pre-made JST PHD 12P cables roughly 100mm long? Or something similar to the JST PHD connector? The connector can be on both ends or just one end of the cable. I've attached a pic of a cable that I had laying around. I believe it came from an original xbox DVD. I've...

I've decided to call this build "Metal PiBoy". I laser cut another dummy PCB board from aluminum to test fit as the power board. It has 2 power switches: 1 for main power and 1 for screen power. I'm considering making a batch of these for sale. This is the website I threw together with details... pi...

Very nice work! I am wondering how heavy this is.. Do you have plans to make some for selling? It'll of course be heavier than a plastic case. The billet of aluminum starts out at 1.5 pounds for each half so 3 pounds total. The front and back weigh almost exactly the same at around 0.22 pounds each...

It's been a long weekend of working on this but I now have the back housing finished. I had to create an insert to fit inside the shell to keep it rigid during the other cutting operations. I had to 3D profile machine the radii on the back of the case since there are a couple different radii that bl...

Back housing coming soon....

Last night I test fit some of the parts for the front housing. I laser cut a dummy PCB controller board to double-check hole locations and fit. This case has a quick 5 minute sand/polish job. The black screen spacer behind the plexiglass acts as a buffer against hard hits on the screen. The black, r...

Whoa! These look awesome! Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see the backs! My only gripe is the dual speaker grills. Not a fan of how they look. I think since you didn't add the angle on the corner then you should have changed the holes from being the same lines. Very poor drawing of 2 alternat...

Great looking builds. Do you have any pics of the inside? What kind of battery are you using?

Your build looks great...very clean. Which battery are you using? I'll be using the BW 3.5: TFT screen for this build. So the SPI screens are thinner than the TFT's? Seems like I read that the TFT are faster framerate but lower resolution whereas the SPI screens are better resolution but slower fra...

I finished the 3rd operation last night which was milling the hole for the head phone jack. Next up is programming the back half of the housing. I hope to start cutting on it this weekend.
