About this print
A handheld enclosure modelled on BMO, the game console character from the animated series Adventure Time. The shell is designed to house a Raspberry Pi board for use as a portable retro game emulator, with support for classic systems including SNES titles. PLA works well for the outer casing, providing adequate rigidity for a handheld device while keeping print time reasonable. Electronics and a display are sourced separately.
