3D Printed NES Classic - Pi3 (Completed!)
3D Printed NES Classic - Pi3 (Completed!)
Finally completed my custom 3D printed NES.
Specs:
Raspberry Pi3
Sandisk 128GB microSD - Retropi 4.4 OS
Sandisk 128GB USB - Rom Storage
8dobit NES30 Controller (Bluetooth)
Latching Power and Reset setup for safeshutdown - GPIO Pins
LED to complete the look - Wired to the GPIO Pins with 330ohm resistor
USB ports extended to the front
3D printed shell, top PLA Cool grey and the bottom is ABS for heat.
The cart latch works and you can insert a small NES cart, just for looks.
Was a cool project which I really enjoyed.
I have my rom library split across the MicroSD and USB Flash using symbolic links.
Whats a project without photos, here they are:
Safe Shutdown scripts if anyone wants to build one, see the zip file.

Re: DIY NES Classic - RetroPi
Looks great!
I actually just got one of those 8Bitdo Nes30 Pro controllers today! How do you like yours? I'm finding it hard to get used to the small joysticks, but I still enjoy using it on my phone and tablet! It's also the perfect controller for Retropie

Yeah its fantastic, It did take some setup and mucking around to get it to work on my pi3. I don't mind the joysticks especially for psx and n64.Racerboy wrote:Looks great!

Re: DIY NES Classic - RetroPi
I know DaftMike is going to open source his designs and files but hasn't yet till he does all his sales. I'd like to build one too once he does. Nice job!

Don't contact me about obtaining my board files (as you will not get them). If my Boards or PCB Kits are sold out, they will be restocked as soon as I can get them and there is demand for them. You can join the mailing list on my Website to be notified when they are available.

Re: DIY NES Classic - RetroPi
DaftMike he has pretty much stopped responding to emails/website updates since October, hope he is ok. But a lot of people pre-ordered kits. I ended up getting a refund through paypal.Helder wrote:I know DaftMike is going to open source his designs and files but hasn't yet till he does all his sales.

Re: DIY NES Classic - RetroPi
If he had schematics up it would be easy to make the same boards he's selling and just throw it on OSHPark for everyone to use. It doesn't look overly complicated in terms of the board design from the pictures he has on the site so not sure the issues with the boards he had.

Re: Completed: 3D Printed NES Classic - Pi3
This took way longer than expected but I finished my 3D printed NES, turned out great!
Updated post one with all info including the safe shutdown and LED scripts if you want to build one.
