-----------------------------------------------------------------

Retro TV case based on a Toshiba Blackstripe I made for a Raspberry Pi 3B to run RetroPie and play cartoons. Designed to fit a Pi 3B with a 3.5 inch HDMI MPI3508 LCD display.

In addition to the print you'll need:

  • Raspberry Pi 3B (might fit Pi 4 but I haven't tested)
  • 3.5 inch HDMI MPI3508 LCD display with HDMI crow connector (such as this one)
  • Right angle micro-usb adapter (such as these) to allow power cable to be connected from the back of the TV. Pi 3B uses the “down” version.
  • SD card with RetroPie (or whatever you want to run)
  • 4x M2.5x5 screws for the shell
  • 2x M2.5x8 screws for the antennae
  • 2x M2.5x8 screws for the base

Optional:

All parts except base, pi_case, and viewport should be printed with supports. The front is printed as multi-material.


RetroPie Notes:

I used the following values in my /boot/config.txt to reduce the display output to 4:3.
overscan_left=-10
overscan_right=65
