Notendo [RetroPie - RP 5]

I went looking for a fun case to house a RP 5 for a RetroPie build but everything was either super minimal or just very unattractive to look at.

This is my lovechild of a NES with a Famicom Twin

I designed this to be a bit bigger, take a standard 12mm switch, house an RP 5, and a convenient power button. I also added a standard 40mm exhaust fan hole.

I designed this to fit a hat as well but I haven't tested it.

I'll happily share the STLs if anyone is interested. I am working on posting to Thingiverse now.

It looks like this should fit any model Pi but naturally YMMV.

Very cool. Also gives off a little bit of a Virtualboy vibe.
- It's amazing how well straight red and black work together.
Very cool! Things look a little breezy around the ports. My constructive criticism would be to tighten that up a bit.
- I wanted to leave it open so it's more universal in what can be fitted in there but I may make a revision in the future that is more model specific if I end up printing another one for a 5.
  
  You could always just do a plate that's customized to the SBC layout, like what you'd get with a PC motherboard.
Fucking love it

Looks closer to a Virtual Boy.
