    I'm with you ETAPrime, move the usb ports to the back, use a microSD ribbon to put the microSD on the back/bottom, line the side vent holes up better with the fan, and maybe use a little bit of clear acrylic ducting to duct air directly into the fan from the outside.
    I'm ok with not screwing in the front LCD, but they should make it so it clips in.
    OR have a single thumb screw to hold it in place.

    That case looks suspiciously a lot like the one designed by the RUclipsr Michael Klements
    Edit: It's slightly different mainly because it's shorter because it's not made to accommodate a battery backup and the OLED panel housing is different, but still looks very similar even to the cut outs on the acrylic panels

      @@poisonouslead85 resin printers give amazing results, what you print looks like it was done professionally if your model is any good. Only downside is the clean-up involved, which actually isn't even that huge of an issue anymore since you can get resin that only requires a water rinse. It's literally night and day with PLA if you're trying to do anything professional looking - but resin isn't as durable and if you print items with hallow interiors, and they don't drain completely, they'll literally explode at a random date in the future.

    Looks really neat. A card scraper, maybe a little wood filler, and some sanding followed by primer and paint and you'd never know that it was 3d printed. I've been thinking about repurposing my Pi4 that I got to control my 3d printer since I haven't used it to do so yet and I'm not even close to ready to do it. I've got an ice tower and I've been trying to think of a neat way to use it. I get sick of surfing the internet on my phone and I was thinking about integrating it into the coffee table, possibly making a tablet out of it, or doing something along those lines so when the TV is in use I have a means to entertain myself.

    I bought a raspberry pi 3b long ago. Only cuz i had spare 80 bucks and sd card.
    I ended up tinkering with it.
    Retropi made it worth wile. I pretty much put FBN and some psx tittles on there. Does the job.
    I like retropi interface and how i can get to the game with pictures and all info very quickly. It's just a pain getting that stuff on there. File transfer over network was slow. USB transfer is option should of done that. Would of been better if I could just drag and drop wile sd card in the computer then move it over so it's ready. Meh using someone else's image is a option. Id tinker with your own first to see what can do. Then scrap it and use someone else's if it's not up to tear or you don't have enough time. Then edit there's a bit to your liking, most likely it's ok.
    I hope the next one can do up to gamecube or wii.
    Raspberry pi is really to show what that arm chip has to offer. Glad it doesn't require a dumb fan. hope it stays like that. Efficiency is key. They still put fans on them thou for overclock and efficiency.
    Ill figure something out when i have time. I just want emulation stuff easy access on another device then my legit gaming rig.

    About time. I like this kit
    Uhm, you are actually using one of the wrong acrylic side panels. They include 4 sides, so you can mount a Pi 3 or the Pi 4. (As you assembled the case with the Pi 3 I/O panel on the gpio side.) A further clarification might be needed for those viewers who aren't familiar with this Klement case. This kit will work for both Pi3 and Pi4.

    Hello ETAPrime,
    Thanks for the video... I just ordered the GeeeekPi from 52Pi which is similar to the one you show (looks 3D printed and you have to glue the OLED in apparently), but slightly different look. It also incorporates a mount to allow an SSD to be install under the Pi. I notice that this one as well as yours included to OLED displays... any reason why there are two? Not that I'm complaining, can always use a second... Depending on how I like the case, I may print my own and add screw holes or a clip of some sort.... Thanks again!

    It keeps all the ports on the front and side, no breakout board, and no regulated cooling, with stuff like the Argon One out there, this is really not a great option.
