Cyber8Bit – a Retro 3d Printed bartop

Inspired by the designs of Love Hulténs Originx and the 8BitDo Arcade Stick, this model is the result of me wanting to use my broken screens laptop 💥💻 with an unused old monitor 📺to finally have my very own bartop-arcade-gaming-machine🕹 the CHEAPEST WAY POSSIBLE.

I also went the least invasive route; I designed the cabinet to fit the laptop in its case and printed a “push button” to turn it on instead of hotwiring it; so that I could reuse the parts in the future (or even replace the laptop's screen).

Of course, those were just my options; but you can go whichever way youll like with it. I modeled a more hollowed version so you could fit a Raspberry Pi, a Mini ITX or an ATX with small components (inside room is around 330x438x70mm).

I have other ideas if I could get my hands on other accessories; like a black trackball or a flight joystick, so if you have some suggestions, please feel free to let me know!

Designed and fully assembled in the course of 37 days, I went through a million mistakes so you wont have to 😊 

Also, I used this color scheme because I already had the materials and wanted a very discreet look, but I would LOVE to see what someone else does with it, like using neon colors, glow in the dark or wood type filaments.
