I was able to assemble the first version this weekend and assure everything fits. Oh my it is a tight squeeze!

I am going to have to modify the parts shelf as the area that holds the speaker gets in the way and keeps me from sealing it all up.
I will be modifying and reprinting that tonight.

I will have the final working demo ready this week, and can then re-make it again and film for the assembly video.
Again, let me stress it is a tight fit... I may have to use less wire, smaller gauge wire, or modify the case even more... Though I'm hoping to keep it as small as possible.

I've updated the Thingiverse files to version 2.2.

This removes the speaker section as it would push the speaker up into the left trigger button.

Files can be found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3528533

 

 

(side note, I have a gamepi15 hat on the way)

I have 2 Gamepi15s arriving this Monday (7/1/19) according to my Shipping, and a 3rd coming sometime within a month lol.

I have PinkyPi Pro assembled and functional, the video should be ready for this weekend.
Once complete, my focus will re-direct to the Gamepi15 hat and making a new case design for this, including selling fully assembled devices in our web store!

The build video is shot, and I am currently working on editing it. Stay tuned!

 

I've also got 3 Gamepi15 hats, that I will be making a new case for!

I grabbed 3 from Waveshare directly.

$28 USD each, and 2 I paid for expedited shipping at $18USD just for shipping. The 3rd came standard China post.

The front page (post 1) has been updated with build instructions.

I will be cleaning these up abit and adding more detail this weekend. But this is all in prep for the video that is being released on Saturday!

Stay tuned! Sunday I will be starting the case design for the GamePi15 as well!

I had to run all my shot footage through HandBreak to re-encode them for my video editing software, with 4k videos that took 2 days.

All video for the instructions is complete, and I am now just arranging everything for release

Cutting and editing is done, I should have the Voice over done tonight or tomorrow night at the latest. Sorry for the delay, its been a hectic few months work and home related, but we are in the final stretch and I can now start working on the GamePi15 version near this weeks end. First will be the RetroPi image for display / buttons etc, then the 3D printed case design!
