ChampX first build piboy pi3

Post by champx » Tue Apr 03, 2018 3:38 pm

hi, i'm french (sorry for my poor english) and i'm building a gameboy with a pi3.

in this project, i doesn't want hot glue, if i'll do maintenance, screws are better!

this project is in progress, the lcd was dead..... but there is many parts i have to make in 3d print.

to be continued!

Bon travail! Basé sur que je vois, je pari que ce projet se révélera être super propre! Partagerez-vous (vous? tu? le francais n'est pas ma première langue) les fichiers pour les parties imprimées? J'adore que vous avez fait avec les boutons à l'arrière.

Google translate: Good work! Based on what I see, I bet that this project will prove to be super clean! Will you share (do you? T? French is not my first language) files for printed parts? I love that you did with the buttons on the back.

hello, I’m happy because my build is soon over!

as for the sharing of stl, I agree but they are modeling adapted to my parts.
I work a lot with recycling parts.
the stl are also tailor-made for cable runs.
if you really wanted, I would share the most relevant ones.


otherwise, the build has progressed well, I only miss the screen and lipo to finish.



I did the audio part:
the square speaker was for testing, the one in place comes from a gameboy.
2x3w ebay amp (there was mistake because i was using this board for another project) ,
pc sound card jack connector,
3d printed support,
cable glued to make rigid ribbon.
the volume button is fixed on bezel

all parts are dismountable.
for all the project i was using fax connector
the set is perfect for maintenance and the interior is clean!

Very impressive, I just love your original approach of building.
Good to see that there are builders who get of off the beaten track, keep up the good work 👍

Btw i love the L and R buttons, very original.
