mintyPi 2.0

[abrugsch]

Where are you guys buying bare screens? I can only find ones with boards.

Ebay/Chinese seller. They came in like 5 days! But delivery was expensive (for chinapost) so they ended up costing ~£6 each

What parts can I go ahead and order now that won't come in a kit offered by you guys? I'm super excited to build one of these as soon as you guys put up the parts! Thanks!

All except the screen and the speaker must be thinner. You can these info inside the thread or wait for the final parts list to be save.

So lets do the the math:

What we can buy from wermy and Helder:
Board and Screen Kit - $35 + $11= $46
DS Lite Buttons and Conductive pads - $6
3D Printed Parts - $41,95
MintyPi Mint Tin Hole Guide(optional) - $5
Total: $93,95 or $98,95 = 83,74€ or 88,2€

What we have to buy ourselves:
Raspberry Pi Zero W - $12,35
Speaker - $1,95
Altoids Tin - $3,5
USB Sound Card - $3,55
Battery - $9,95
Power Switch - $0,95
Tactile Switches- $0,98
Adafruit Micro Lipo - $10
Total: $43,23 = 38,53€

Total price of the project ---> $43,23 + $93,95 = $137,18 or $142,18 w/ hole guide

in € = 122,26€ or 126,72€

Excluding some shipping costs that might be needed.

This costs were calculated this way because of my location (Portugal), the project can be cheaper or even more expensive, depends on your location and where you buy the componentes.

This is pretty close to what I came up with (I'm in the USA - prices include shipping costs):

Parts from Wermy/Helder:
Mint Tin Hole Jig/Guide $5.00
3D Printed Case Parts $34.50
Button PCB / Screen Board + Ribbon Cable (Helder) $41.70

Parts from other sellers (eBay/Amazon/etc):
1200mAh Lipo Battery $10.00
L/R Buttons - 6x6x5mm Tactile PushButton (DIP) $1.50
Raspberry Pi Zero (W) $10.00
Powerboost 500C $15.00
USB Sound Card $3.55
DS Lite Buttons $2.00
DS Lite Conductive Pads $3.50
Altoids Tin (Regular Size) $3.00
Speaker (20mm diameter 0.5W 8Ohm) $3.00
SPDT Mini Power Switch $1.00

TOTAL PROJECT COST: $133.75 (actually puts it just shy of the cost of the GBZ according to my calculations - I have that at $146)

Couple of things to note:
You can use the microLipo, which you can get for $6 or so. You actually get better battery life, too. If you're ok with not having wifi then you could also use a regular Pi 0, you'd just want to make sure you add all the ROMs you want to play at build-time. So that cuts down on the cost a bit.
