We didn’t design this model. It’s a community file from its original creator, and now and then a file has a fault that only shows up when we print it, such as walls that are too thin or parts that don’t join properly. If that happens we’ll let you know and try to fix the file, which can add a day or two. If we can’t get a good print from it, we’ll refund you in full.

Good to know before you order

TPU has a £11.50 print-order minimum. ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon and PETG-CF have a £46 minimum; PA-CF has a £69 minimum. Delivery is shown separately in your cart.

Need a few parts? Add them to one cart. One order minimum and one postage charge cover the cart: £6.90 for standard materials, £11.50 with TPU, £46 with ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon or PETG-CF, or £69 with PA-CF.

Please check the model files include everything you need before ordering. We print the files as published by the creator, so you receive the parts in the model, not necessarily a finished assembly shown in any photos. These are community designs by their original creators; we manufacture and post them but cannot guarantee fitment for your specific appliance or use case - check the original design page for compatibility.

About this print

A printed enclosure designed to house a Raspberry Pi along with the electronics needed to build a handheld retro gaming device. The shell accommodates the board and associated components, forming a portable unit suited to running emulation software. PETG is a sensible material for this application, offering better impact resistance than PLA for a handheld that will be handled regularly.

**ATTENTION: THERE IS A NEW AND IMPROVED VERSION OF THIS DESIGN CALLED THE PORTABERRY PI ULTRA. IT CAN BE FOUND [HERE](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2026842). IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING BUILDING A PORTABERRY PI PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE NEW DESIGN BECAUSE IT IS MORE UP TO DATE WITH CURRENT PRODUCTS AND WILL RECEIVE MORE OF MY SUPPORT GOING FORWARD. THANK YOU.**

(Note: User [BigLazyB](http://www.thingiverse.com/BigLazyB/about) has put together an excellent set of instructions/schematic for this project which can be found under the files page of his remix found [HERE](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:378750/#files))

Presenting the PortaBerry Pi! A Raspberry Pi powered portable emulation machine. Now you can take your retro gaming anywhere you go (so long as you have a pouch to carry this little Beast :P).

The specs are as follows:
*Processor: 512 Mb Raspberry Pi Model B
*Display: 4.5" TFT Monitor
*Battery: 9.6v NiMh Pack
*Controls: Custom, running on Teensy 2.0 (Joystick, four action buttons, start/select, and two shoulder buttons)
*Sound: 2 Mini 8 Ohm speakers running mono, or a stereo 3.5mm headphone jack
*Operating system: [RetroPie](http://blog.petrockblock.com/retropie)

Bill of material can be found [HERE](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hXwmqszvv6gGVnGeJc-bzmU_5-7ScNdjPk-e-R2VULQ/edit?usp=sharing)

[Here](http://imgur.com/a/EDMEs#0) is a nice album full of detail shots. [THIS](http://imgur.com/a/8ltCe#0) album offers nice detail shots of the interior. A much larger construction album as well as a work in progress bill of materials can be found under 'instructions'. My submission here is currently a work in progress and I hope to finish the bill of material as well as offer a schematic very soon. As I stated in the instructions there was a lot of frustration involved in this project that pictures and spread sheets can't communicate. My advice would be to use what I have uploaded as inspiration for a project of your own. I hope you enjoy :)

EDIT: A video of the unit in action can be found [HERE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xu7DCyLcSs)

P.S. I would like to give a nice shout out to Ben Heck. If you have a chance look him up on Youtube. His portable raspberry pi project (featured on this very [SITE](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:110354)) was the inspiration for my project.

Formatting may have been simplified. These are the independent maker's instructions and fitment claims; Hark Tech has not independently verified them.

Printing PortaBerry Pi (Handheld Raspberry Pi Emulator)

For PortaBerry Pi (Handheld Raspberry Pi Emulator) we would normally reach for PLA — it is easy to print, low-odour and plenty strong for everyday use. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
