3D model description

Info

This is a 3D printed handheld powered by some parts available via Amazon, AliExpress or a maker store.

Cool stuff

I've built this so you can install whatever operating system you want on the Raspberry Pi. I use Batocera but all the other distros work well also.

Parts summary

Parts needed are a 7" screen with speakers and screen function buttons (you will rewire these), you will need a Pi Sugar S Plus, a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, a USB C Male to Female extenion and similar for a 3.5mm headphone jack. Last you'll need an Itsy Bitsy 32U4 from Adafruit and a handfull of buttons and soldering equipment. Full parts list and links are listed below, there are 2 versions since the Elecrow screen is hard to find now an alternative was made to suit the dimensions.

Extra help

Lastly if you have problems with dimensions and your screen let me know and I will happilly send you a slightly customised stl version to match the 7" screen you decided to add into your build.
