For each iteration, two to three layers of paint were needed for the result to be homogeneous. After this step, I applied some tape vertically and sprayed paint one more time to get the final result. Obviously the picture of the bottom right-hand corner does not correspond to the final result.
To do that, I once again exported a dxf file from my Fusion360 project (see Marquee->Sketches->Export), printed it on paper, aligned the acrylic on top of it, used some tape to cover the parts I didn't want to be painted and sprayed paint all over it: Only the screen needs to be seen, that's why I painted the whole bottom of the acrylic top except for the rectangle where the screen will appear. You can see the final result on the pictures below: I apply transfer tape on both sides of the acrylic sheet in order to avoid burn marks. Many passes were necessary for the laser to cut through. You simply have to put the inserts in top of the holes, take a soldering iron heated to 230✬ and gently press with the iron tip on top of the inserts.įor laser cutting the acrylic top, I exported a dxf file from one of the sketches in my Fusion360 project(see Acrylic top->Sketches->Laser cut export in the project). Once the parts printed, I inserted the inserts as shown on the picture below. I used a raft for printing the bottom assembly as it might otherwise be difficult for the first layer to stick correctly on the bed because of all the small holes designed for the heat set inserts. Below are the corresponding stl files: bottom_assembly.stl 3d printed partsįour parts need to be printed, the bottom assembly, the top assembly and two button supports for the select/start and volume-/volume+ buttons.

#Lakka raspberry pi 3 controllers free
I used the free version of Fusion360 for designing all the parts.
On the Raspberry Pi 3, I installed a customized version of a linux distribution called Lakka, it emulates a lot of old consoles, from the Atari 2600 and NES up to the Playstation 1 and the Nintendo 64. The idea was to use a Raspberry Pi 3, tear down a SNES controller for getting some parts like the buttons and the PCBs, use some wood and acrylic to make it look nice and add some 3d-printed plastic to hold it together.
