Home-made 3D Printed Arcade Gaming System
Christopher Tan, a video game fan based in Malaysia, used his 3d Printer to make a desktop arcade machine.
“I grew up in the 80s, probably the glory days of arcade gaming, so I always wished I had an arcade machine of my own with real arcade joystick and buttons,” he wrote. “Over a few weeks, I ordered all the electronic parts I needed, like the controller, LCD display,, etc. I then did all the 3D modelling and spent over 100 hours printing the parts. Also, I wanted my arcade machine to have a lot of detail, so I also created things like a faux coin slot, etc. To give it the professional finish, I also designed the artwork which I sent to a commercial printer to have it printed on vinyl sticker.”
This is what Christopher needed to build his gaming system:
1 × Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
1 × Raspberry Pi 3 Power Supply – 5.1v 2.5A
1 × 8″ 1024×768 IPS LCD Display
1 × Arcade Joystick + Buttons KitThey one I used has 8x 30mm buttons, 2x 24mm, Joystick, encoder board, USB cable, etc.
2 × 40mm 4ohm 3W speaker
1 × PAM8403 5V digital amplifier board
1 × Short 20cm HDMI Male to Male cable
1 × Short 30cm micro USB male to female extension cable
1 × Short 30cm USB 2.0 male to female extension cable
6 × White LEDs
6 × 100ohm resistors
1 × USB cable
1 × 128GB SD Card
