3D-printable Raspberry Pi Cyberdeck
By Andrew Gregory. Posted
The phrase ‘minimum viable product’ has been ringing in our ears for the last few weeks for some reason.

Head to head: Raspberry Pi + Raspberry Pi Zero + Raspberry Pi Pico.
Enter this small 3D-printed cyberdeck, by Nathanael de Jongh. It holds a Raspberry Pi 5, a 3.5-inch display, and a Rii miniature keyboard, and is encased in 0.08mm layer height, 5% infill 3D-printed plastic. Like many awesome projects, it arose because the maker had the stuff already laying about:
“I designed this model because I had bought the screen a while ago, and when I then got a 3D printer I decided to create a simple easy-to-use case to house it and a Raspberry Pi Zero,” says Nathanael. “I then created the Raspberry Pi 5 version upon realising that it required a bit more power for some tasks. The Pi Zero version is great for things like Python programming and the Raspberry Pi 5 one is better for things like web browsing and watching videos.”

There’s probably a […]
