So Since I got a fair bit of positive traction I have been hard at work on this project in my spare time. It has come a long way. I have done a few things that make this fairly interesting
I have done all the test fitting for the Screen, and SD card and Threaded insert which there will be many of to insure the case is secure.
The case will have a spot to put a battery bank so you can have totally wireless solution. So Here is attached is all the screen shots and some of the test fit photos.
While it can be printed on a 220x220 printer it is optimized for a printer like a P1P or other 250x250x250 printer. I would also recommend a high speed printer as well.
OLD POST FOR RECORDS: So I am working on a project that would let you have a Pi 5, 4, 3, Zero, Zero W, Zero 2 W, or Pico as a Emulator base for a 7 inch LCD screen and Case that looks similar to a Macintosh Classic/ Color Classic.
I want to know how many people are interested in such a thing. I am also open to constructive feed back as well.
So Final design features will have a Mounting holes for a slim or fat box for a Battery bank so this device can be fully self contained.
This will be design to have threaded inserts for everything that need screws. it should be printable on 250x250x250 printer maybe even a 2
- This project will be printable on a 220x220x220 3d printer
- This will work with a Pico Pi , Pi Zero\w , Pi Zero 2 W , Pi 4 , Pi 5.
- The Screen and SD card adapter are about 35 USD put together.
- If I can keep parts prices down I will sell some in my Etsy store.
- If this goes will I will make a version That can house a USB Floppy drive.
