Is the mintypi compatible with the raspberry pi 3?

I recently got the raspberry pi 3 and I thought a cool summer project would be a portable retro pie. I was wondering if the mintypi will work with the 3, and if it doesn't, is there any similar looking ones that do. I don't want to use one that needs an external controller, because those look ugly. I also have a 3D printer (the monoprice mini,) so I can print the parts. Thanks!

Long answer (that has been answered multiple times already): There is no way to fit anything other a Raspberry Pi Zero, button PCB, power PCB, battery, screen, buttons, screen, and 3d parts to hold it all together. Plus, you would have to shave the Pi to even fit it in the tin without any other parts in it.
